I have new gutters that have leaf guards on them so I needed a new way to hang my Christmas lights. There are commercial products like this, but I decided to make my own using 12g galvanized wire. I used some scrap lumber and a few 16d nails to make a wire bending jig so I could run a production batch very quickly.
For dimensions of this jig, see the photo here:

A 100' spool of wire should yield approx. 200 of these hooks.

I like the way you added the timer in the corner of the video. A lot of the RU-vidrs that I watch will use the fast forward to keep the video short (applause) but you lose a sense of how long it actually took. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. I was curious how long it took me to make those few hooks, so I figured others may be curious too. Thanks for watching.

This was a very simple solution to hanging my lights without removing the gutter guards. Thanks so much!

Excellent. Also, galvanized steel is a process where zinc is added as a sacrificial barrier to protect the steel. The zinc is water soluble, but generally there is enough zinc to last approximately 20 years before all the zinc is gone and the steel begins to rust.

Good idea... I'm going to pick up some black insulated wire and do the same. Our gutters are black so it will match and also won't risk scratching the face of it.

One suggestion to avoid rust issues and scratching paint on painted gutters: I used 14 gauge single strand insulated wire, stripping off the portion that sticks into the gutter guard. I did that because my gutter guards have a very fine mesh.

mark abate good tip. This is the third year I’ve used mine. No issues with rust with the galvanized wire so far. Copper would work too.

Hey, brother. Great video. My jig is taking me a bit longer but I only got 2 inch nail in a scrap piece of 1x4 lol. Anyway, galvanizing metal is the process of adding zinc to steel specifically so that it won't rust. Think of chain link fences.

Wow. I didn't even think of chain link fencing. Yeah, I think the galvanized will be fine out in the elements. Thanks for watching. Good luck with your jig.
