11" StarDuster Pipe Brush

With this brush and a good sturdy 24ft telescoping extension pole I was able to clean debris (pine needles) that accumulated and covered my gutter guard rendering my gutters useless. My lot is sloped so I can't really use a ladder on the east side of my home. The height of my gutters go from 12 ft. toward the front to about 24ft high at the back on that side of my home. So, $25 for this brush plus a $50 for the 24ft telescoping extension pole and problem solved!! It took me about 20 -30 minutes to get the job done and I didn't have to climb an unstable extension ladder!! I'm sure it would have cost at least $75 to hire someone to do this job and now I have it done and a tool I didn't have before that I can use for other jobs around the exterior of my home. Anyway the brush performed well in in my opinion is well made. I didn't notice any loss of bristles. The wires that hold the bristles in place are a very heavy guage wire. You can bend them a bit if you need to in order to change the shape of the brush for your specific task but its not easy to bend and that's a good thing imo. Hope this review helps someone.

The price is high for just the brush. Better if the pole is included.

We screwed the brush into our extender pole and it worked well in brushing pine needles which had accumulated on top of our gutter guards. The brush is stiff enough for the task without getting caught on anything.

Since I'm a single girl with physical limitations, I can't get on a ladder and go around the house to,clean the gutters. The last time I hired someone, it was $100 and took them 20 minutes on the roof with a leaf blower. I do have gutter covers so this brush allows me to simply walk around the house while brushing the leaves off the gutters. I bought an extension pole at my local big box store. (LO###). The first pole I bought fit this brush perfectly! I do notice I have to use it in one direction, or else the brush spins/loosens on the pole. I may tape it onl This works best when the leaves are very dry. I'm not sure how well it would work, without some sort of gutter covers.

I've had a few of these types of brushes and was disappointed with all of them. This brush was not one of them. The mounting by ACME female threads was very strong. In addition, there is a hole through the handle that can be used with a standard pool pole if a bolt is run through the pole and handle. My house is in mid-east-coastal Florida, where it is common to have facia boards that are nailed perpendicular to the roof profile, which makes them at an angle with the walls. When the gutters are fastened to the facia, there is a triangular space between the facia and the back of the gutters. As a consequence the fascia and back of the gutter get very dirty with mold and dust. To clean those surfaces I straightened the hook shape of the brush's backbone and attached it to a pool pole for high gutters and an extension pole with a threaded fitting for standard height gutters. The brush worked like a charm for cleaning the surfaces in that space. Very happy with it!

It works pretty good. I attached it on my telescopic paint handle. For some reason it keeps twisting loose even though I tightened it over and over while brushing the gutters. I think I’ll tape it in place because I just want to get the job done. I have used it to clean leaves out of gutters.

Nothing to like about it; doesn’t come with a pole and doesn’t fit the pole I have.

UPDATE: First use it worked great and handle fully extended. Now i go to use it again and NOTHING i do will result in an extended handle. It's as though its locked internally somehow.This is great for gutters! I have the flat gutter guards but debris still manages to accumulate on them. This brush keeps me off a ladder. Very quick and easy to sweep off the debris. I can see other uses as well...I wrapped a towel around the brush and cleaned the very high up ledge of my shower door tracks. I'm a big fan of this brush!
