Amazing!! I wish I bought this 19 years ago when I bought my house. So easy!! Works great!!! I bought this kit to use with a Ridgid 16 gal. 6.5hp shop vac. I was a little apprehensive because it wasn't a Ridgid OEM accessory but everything mated up perfectly and is of good quality. As you can see from the picture a very few of the maple tree seed pods (helicopters) remained because they get stuck in the gutter guards "slots". I was always disappointed with these gutter guards because of this and because they promote ice buildup in the winter. Since this accessory makes it so easy to clean the gutters I may just remove the gutter guards. I'm sure there's all kinds of gunk that worked its way into the gutters through the small slots and is hidden and impossible to get to because of the guards. I expect this accessory will make gutter guards unnecessary allowing access to fully clean mud, sand etc. from my gutters on a regular basis. I added one (Ridgid) accessory "head" (See pic) to the hooked part to get up on my roof to vacuum seed pods that didn't quite make it into the gutters. The Ridgid shop vac has locking hose and wand parts but this accessory kit does not. However I didn't have any problems with parts coming apart as friction and vacuum keeps things nice and snug. However, If you have problems with parts coming apart just use some duk tape!
