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

Pros

  • Screw-in install with all hardware included
  • Routes water away from the foundation once lowered back down
Cons
  • Pivot can be stiff until it's worked in or greased
  • One reviewer felt the metal gauge was light for frequent flexing
