   I was really hoping somebody would know of a fixture, like a collet   
   or chuck, that would mount on the oscillating tool's "chuck" and   
   hold a quarter inch shaft. There are lots of small cup brushes with   
   like-sized shanks that give the orientation needed to reach into the   
   gutter bottom.   
   ---------------------------------------   
   My HF right angle air grinder with a 2" fiber pad did a fine job removing   
   paint and rust from the inside and outside of six 3" x 8' and four 4" x 8'   
   steel channels, cleaned the leaky rims of the sawmill motorcycle wheel, and   
   most recently scrubbed rust spots and scratches on the truck for   
   refinishing. If the gutter has more than pinhole leaks it might tear off the   
   thin weakened metal but that's useless anyway.   
      
   They show a newer model that I don't know about. My older one is supposed to   
   be dual action though it can be locked for high speed rotation with a washer   
   that clamps onto the ball bearing outer race, or the twist-on pad mount.   
      
   Their accessory kits didn't fit right so I cut a 1/4-20 x 3/4" spindle   
   adapter that matched them. It's not hard to figure out.
