Culvert Cleaning Hand Tool, Made in USA, For cleaning a 14" diameter culvert pipe, this size designed for culvert pipes with 14" I.D. (handle is NOT included) Tool is 12 5/8" wide

I have a mile long gravel driveway with about a dozen culverts. Clogged culverts are always an issue. I wish I had known about this tool 30 years ago. Bought one 7 years ago, and it's made all the difference. LOVE this tool. The old one is about wore out now, so just ordered another. Just paved the driveway, too, so this one should last me the rest of my life. Highly recommended.

I used this tool the same day it arrived. I was able to clean out a 12 foot 14" culvert pipe is about 90 minutes. We pulled 4 wheelbarrow fulls of dirt out of a pipe that hadn't been cleaned in 23 years! Push it in and pull it out and the dirt is removed....that's all there is to it. I couldn't be more pleased.It's solid and very well built. A 10 foot threaded pipe we bought at Home Depot screwed into the tool perfectly. My neighbors are now using this tool to clean their culvert pipes and have thanked me profusely for buying it.If you need a culvert pipe cleaned, no need to hire anyone at great expense. Buy this and do it yourself. I'm 72 years old and if I can do it, so can many many others.

The "14" Culvert Cleaning Hand Tool did the job very effectively! I have a 16" X 20' culvert that needed cleaning. It was over half full of dirt. Purchased a 14" tool and upon receipt, went to Home Depot and purchased a 1/2" pipe @ 6 foot long. The culvert was 20 foot long. Two 6 foot and a 5 foot did the job effective. Most of the cleaning was from one end as the other end was difficult to enter into. I connected the pipes together and the cleaning tool and got the job done. I literally called around and went to Lowe's and Home Depot to see if they had something like this tool to buy or rent, none available on the market. Went on Amazon and this was the only device available. Highly satisfied customer! I thought the cost was a little steep for a simple designed tool.

Bought this assuming it would fit on one of the many extension poles I have in my garage for yard implements and paint rollers. It doesn't. The threads are too fine. It apparently will fit black iron pipe threads, which means I have to go buy a large length of HEAVY black iron pipe to use it... Don't know why someone doesn't come up with extendable pole with these threads, OR put a paint pole threaded cap on this item....

This culvert clearing tool became what it set out to destroy. Unfortunately, my culvert is made from multiple concrete sections and there is a small gap in between each. The gaps are just the right size such that, when pulling the tool back, the tool found it's way into that gap and then got wedged between that gap and the copious amount of sticks and leaves that were stuck in the culvert.It seems like the tool would work great as part of regular maintenance when the culvert isn't so clogged. I ended up using threaded pipe with a floor flange on the end to handle most of the clog and to dislodge the tool. The tool did a good job pulling the last bit of leaves out.Recommend for regular maintenance. Be careful if you are dealing with a fully clogged pipe.

This cleaning tool worked really well on our culvert. I had to get a 10' rod as the store had no 8' and 6' was too short. The length of the pole made it awkward but the tool worked great. My grandson was the one doing most of the scraping and I did the shoveling. The afternoon after we cleaned the culvert, we had a real gully washer and the water flowed through it easily. We are at the bottom of a hill and get all the neighbors' runoffs including leaves and dirt. We will need to use this on a recurring basis. But a co-worker was so impressed by how well I said that it worked that he asked to borrow it. He knows that if this 67 year old said it worked, that it must have been worth the money. We were very careful to never rotate the rod counter clockwise as another reviewer had posted. We didn't want to have the cleaner come off in the middle of the culvert. A very important tip that was passed on.

It's hard to really rate at the moment since I still have to go buy a 10 foot threaded 1/2" pipe for the handle. But looking at the construction, it seems like it will do the job once I have a handle!

Great while it lasted..... broke after about 30 minutes of use. I would like to try again but don't want to spend another $70!Update* Ended up using the tire through the culvert trick, worked great and much cheaper....problem solved.
