Pool pole valley cleaner tool

thingiverse

I've got a large gum tree overhanging the front of my house and it drops so much leaf debris that the valleys back up with leaves almost to the ridge line (if I'm lazy enough) and so in the past I've used various techniques including getting up on the roof to clear it all out. But since I have a pool, I also have a pool pole and they are fantastic as they telescope up beyond most things you'll ever find in a hardware store and they come with a nifty means of attaching anything that has a couple of holes in it. So this is my first 3D project. And on its first test (with the prototype) with worked really well apart from the initial v-angle probably being a little wide. So I reduced the angle a bit, adding in some strengthening where it would most likely have stresses (not that I think it needed it in the end). This version was a dream to use and I'm looking forward to cleaning the gutters again. I think the next tool will be a gutter rake with a wiper blade edge to get those gutters squeaky clean.
