Snap-In Filter Gutter Guard

Easy to install. The only tool I needed was a putty knife to help prying up the shingles. And I used some tin snips to cut the guard. (You can use regular scissors but the tin snips made quick work of cutting and cut through the thick portion with ease)I bought the extra screws for these. I live in a Windy City. However, they seemed secure. I will see if they need to be screwed on after a couple storms.I do like that they gave a lot compared to other companies (I believe 70-75’?) I paid about $90 for 50’ of another brand. I did my garage (50’) and have extra to spare for replacement parts if needed.I do like that these are at an angle so things have a better chance of rolling off the garage and gutters. Instead of sitting flush/ flat with the gutters and have debris get stuck on top of the gutter guard.These seem to be working great so far. Hopefully I can avoid getting up on my latter for a while!I have 4” gutters and these fit perfectly. These work on my new gutters but probably wouldn’t have worked for my older gutters that had a different design.Overall I am happy with them and would buy them again. If I end up replacing my house gutters I will definitely be buying these.I use a cane and it took me a little over an hour to do 50’ moving a latter and cutting etcAn abled person could probably do it in 30-40 minutes

I have mixed feelings in writing this review because I love these guards. The gluing of the screen has changed since my last purchase 2 years ago. The strip of glue holding both sides of the screen has shrunk and now has big blobs at each section. In installing this batch the screen was pulling off in the corner I was sliding under the shingles. In my pics you can see the difference between my latest purchase, 2 yrs ago, and the original ones I put on about 20 yrs ago. If they could just put a thick strip on both sides like they used to the screen may have a better chance of lasting longer. Time will tell with these.I have a very wooded lot with, it seems, every known tree in the south. I have never had a problem with pine needles or helicopter seeds. If one gets caught, they'll break off in a few days. As you can see over time the screen degrades and they become wavy. They still work and I've never had a problem with my drains clogging. None of this can be seen from the ground on my house. What did get them was 2 bad hailstorms I got a month apart that took most of the gravel off my shingles and bowed in these guards. I mean enough gravel to weight down the gutters and pull some away from the house. Combined with the southern heat, most were permanently bowed. But I could still use some of the old ones.This year I got the roof replaced and the installers put the guards in all wrong, mostly upside down, which caused the screen to pull off and the water to run over the guards. So here I am correcting them and replacing a few. They are a breeze to snap in and easy to cut except the edge where I score it with scissors and bend it off. Once they snap in they don't move but will pull off into the gutter with a lot of gravel weight. It takes a lot. That gravel does not want to move out of the gutter and then collects dirt and things start growing. You have to clean your gutters every 5 to 10 years or so and I would hate to have to unscrew those permanent guards to clean. These take seconds to pop on and off.One area I learned that these guards always fail is the inside corners. I've tried every configuration. Here I use the metal ones. I cut 3/4 the way, fold it back over itself to a 90 degree angle and pound it flat with mallet. Works perfectly.

These gutter guards were inexpensive and easy to install. Having just installed these I can’t speak regarding their durability. The almost identical guards that I replaced lasted over 10 years. Most of them had loose screens due to the glue used to fasten them to the guards. The weak point on these is the nylon screen that is hot glued to the bottom side of the guards. I have fixed a small piece of guard with my hot glue gun and the glue sticks I have are far superior to the glue applied by the manufacturer. I’m probably going to go back and hot glue all the gutter guards because it will not last if not fixed. You must be careful not to break the glue points on the screened bottom while installing. I will also point out that these are “not” maintenance free. I only purchased these to get me through a couple of years so I can save up for a truly maintenance free gutter guard system.

Let there be light! We have an older Home that we didn’t want to invest lighting in various closets and cabinets. The cost would’ve been enormous. Had we on the route of an electrician. Instead, we bought many of these and put them throughout the house. They’re easy to install and they really do light up a dark space! Not to mention, you can put several of them in a space if you have multiple shelves because they are thin enough. Works very well!

The media could not be loaded. Couldn't have been any easier to install these. I do recommend using some padded gloves because I ended up with blisters on my finger tips, but no big deal. They cut easily, click into place and look great. Couldn't recommend any other gutter guards more than these.
