MJ Jadwin: This hinge was great. Living in MN, I was told to flip the end of the gutter up so that ice won't fill it and this does the trick. Easy to put on the gutter and it works!

NotYourAverageIdiot: Easy-peezy installation in either position (2x3 or 3x2) with Type-A or -B elbows. A complete kit, all parts accounted for, but a few extra screws added to the kit bag might be a nice touch (murphy's law insurance).

The fun part: One hinged section includes a 10 ft long straight spout routed beyond the negative slope beside my house foundation. My local resident chipmunk likes to hide-out inside the pipe and stash all kinds of chipmunk treats, sometimes sitting just inside the pipe outlet and watching me doing my weekly yardwork. I wait until the timing's right, then I lift the pipe straight up slowly on the Zip Hinge. a
The little guy tries to hang in there, you can hear the desperate clawing and scrambling. Despite great effort, out spills the colorful little furball with all the stashed treats and then takes-off like a shot, none-the-worse for wear, until next week. The treats that spilled magically disappear overnight (probably right back into the pipe). It's fun with sasquatch on a tiny scale and best of all there's no harm done!

sara cosentino: Is exactly what I was looking for so that I can have a longer gutter to get the water away from my house but when I have to mow the lawn I needed to get out of the way and this thing worked perfectly. I would have thought maybe water would have dripped on the sides at the opening because there is a hole that you can visibly see where the hinges and the gutter attached. But this isn't the case even when it is pouring like crazy all the water seems to go down the pipe and not really out the sides. A few droplets here and there but nothing bad.

Stephanie Wise: Universal fit was the key for my decision to buy product. Well designed. Being new would obviously make the hinges stiff, so I suggest you spray it with some WD40 first, then let it sit. The hinges will move quite nicely after. Product arrived on day promised, thank you !

Aubrey O'Neill: Great item and it helps protect our foundation from water drainage.
The only concern was how the top screws went in … for a very very small ... home handyman ... they were really difficult to go in, even after drilling a hole where the screws went in...
The assemble was quick and easy, other than above ...
I would recommend these to every homeowner...

patrick k: These are a great idea! My local 3 Big Box Stores didnt have any extension hoses and i didnt want to drag them around for weed eating/mowing. These are fantastic! I used a Montalvo cutting disc (caution, when using a grinder and cutting disc use cutting resistant gloves, safety glasses and a face shield (you can rent a grinder or borrow from a friend and get the disc from tue big box hardware store) and grinder to make the cuts in the gutter extensions. I went to the gutter company and had them cut me 4 foot pieces of gutter pipe. I simply measured the distance of hinge space and an angle a little more than a 45. Then load the extensions in a vice (with towel wrapped around!) and cut with disc, file down rough edges and go do a rough fit test. You can slip the hinges on easily on the down gutter spouts while you test the pieces you cut. Make sure you oil the hinges (i used motor oil) and work them before slipping on. When you finished cutting the angles and the hinge is working the “tap screws” will normally drill right into the metal easily. Use leather work gloves to stick a finger in to hold the hinge in place (so it doesnt move out of place) while you drill in the “tap...

Mark T.: Easy to install and they work fine but quite pricey. Handy to have when mowing or trimming the lawn.
