I've used a home-made attachment for my leaf blower (actually it is the motor
from a shop-vac that converts to a leaf blower).
I used two 10' lengths of plastic pipe. Cut off about 18" from one of the pipes
and attached a 45 degree fitting to make a looong 'J' shaped contraption -
either ~10' or ~18' long as needed. With this I could reach the gutters and
blow out the debris (wait for a dry day - DAMHIK).
I did see 'ready-made' attachments at the warehouse store (Lowe's) but my
frugal (OK... cheap) side liked mine better.
