Johannesburg has been enduring some serious storms lately, so who knows what manner of trash is busy growing its own sentient life forms at the edge of your roof? This little guy will just charge through all the disgusting muck and shove it out so that your gutters stay functional and you don’t have to risk blikseming down the ladder and taking a trip to the emergency room.
