Sprinkler Head Removal Tool 4-in-1, Replace Your Sprinklers Without Digging in Under 2 Minutes, Most Brands Rainbird Toro Orbit Hunter K-Rain, Upgraded Tool Made in USA, Rust-Proof Sprinkler Shirt

Once in a while you run into something so ingenious that you wonder how did someone picture this in their head and then built it. We live on a small farm and maintain around 2 acres around the house with a sprinkler system. It is all Rain bird, and almost 24 years old. Two years ago I upgraded to their Wi-Fi controller and thought it couldn't get better. Now I could work on the sprinklers and test the finished repair with the cell phone. now, here comes this gadget, what I call it. Saw it here while buying replacement sprinkler heads, and at 40 bucks it was worth a try, specially after watching their video. it works!! just as advertised. If you watch the video, it has multiple attachments to remove the head and or the screw in base. I tried it on one head around thick centipede. Typically I will use the narrow sharp point shovel I have just to do this. I cut all around the head and remove the clump of dirt/grass to go back in after doing repairs. it is not hard, tedious yes, but I can do this typically without making a big mess that will take weeks or longer to fill in and look natural again. Then ,I* have to dig some more using the shovel/hands to get to the head and unscrew. This contraption did just as advertised, and it took a bit of elbow grease to cut through the thick grass. I had to clean the head a couple of times, the grass was that thick. The promo video doesn't show the elbow grease required in this case, but in fairness, they do mention this in the printed instructions, and give suggestions. Now, lets go to the good part and what the company omits in the video/instructions. Once the tool got a hold of the sprinkler, it came off easily, even though the hole was small enough I could really only use 2-3 fingers at a time to pull it out. Then you switch attachments to remove the base, where the guts screw into. This is where they didn't mention what occurred to me then. That base is ok 99% of the time, unless you run over it with a mower. The guts are what go bad. I removed the guts from the new head, reinserted and screwed in and we were done, and I have a spare case if needed. If you are wondering how do you adjust the spray arc, I have you covered. Start the system and watch the pattern. The rain Bird system you adjust the left limits manually screwing the head a bit counter clockwise until it stops where you want it to. The right side you have an adjustment on the head, and you adjust with a small flat head screwdriver. Using the same attachment on the tool that I used to remove the sprinkler head, i reinserted and turned it counterclockwise, as if removing, just enough to get the desired pattern. I am sold on this gadget. it appears to be 3D printed, very solidUpdate- had to send unit back as it started falling apart after only a second use. The 3D printed parts are not up to the task

I was struggling with how to get a an old sprinkler head that was stuck in thick, clay soil out of the ground for replacement. The old sprinkler head was in a difficult, cramped location right next to a concrete sidewalk so I wasn’t able to completely dig away the soil on all sides and the sprinkler head remained stuck. Finally, I found this item and ordered it. Was able to immediately remove the sprinkler head with this tool. I think it’s a must-have for anyone who has to maintain a sprinkler system.

Also had high hopes for this item. Used for a few small rainbird 1800 series heads and worked for a short time until the teeth that grip the head broke. Now this tool is worthless. Been trying to email company about a replacement small extractor but no response. Buyer beware. Will update it they replace part.Update..they finally received one of my emails and they did replace 2 small extractors that I sent pics of in my email. Crossing g my fingers I. Hopes they don’t break again. Thank you for sending out the replacements.

Really wanted to love this product. Great design but skeptical because it’s 3D printed. Thought I’d give it a shot. Sadly it failed miserably on the very first usage. The teeth broke off easily and the housing is weak and broke as well. Unfortunately that part is the most critical because it is what locks into the sprinkler head. If this part is made of another material like aluminum, it woukd be a very useful tool for years to come. Sadly, 3D printed parts are not made to withstand high forces. Build quality:No durable at allDesign:Great design and can work well if not for being extremely brittle

I initially wasn't impressed with the product. It's 3D printed. My experience with 3D printed items haven't been stellar. But once I used it I was very impressed. It does a great job at what it's designed to do.

Kudos for idea. Put aside, 3D printer made. It doesn't fit rotor sprinkler heads. I intended to replace Toro 700 with Hunter PGP. Both 3/4". Didn't fit either. Returning. No use.

Made quick and easy work of replacing several heads

excellent sprinkler tool works very well
