Overview
Zip Hinge is a 2-pack aluminum bracket that mounts onto a square or rectangular downspout extension, letting it flip up out of the way for mowing and drop back into place afterward instead of being unclipped and moved by hand.
It's a made-in-USA hardware fix for a chore most homeowners solve by detaching the extension every time they mow.
- 2-pack aluminum hinge
- Fits square and rectangular downspouts
- Made in the USA
- Screws and magnetic nutsetter included
Who it's for
Fits anyone who currently unclips a rectangular or square downspout extension before mowing and wants it to hinge instead. It doesn't fit round downspouts.
Pros and cons
- Flips up in seconds instead of fully detaching the extension
- Screw-in install with all hardware included
- Routes water away from the foundation once lowered back down
- Pivot can be stiff until it's worked in or greased
- One reviewer felt the metal gauge was light for frequent flexing
