I was able to remove the sprinkler head but not completely the way the took was meant to work. When using the wrench to remove the cap the entire body of the sprinkler head came loose fron the main water line. I remover the entire body of the SH and quickly inserted the new SH. I never used the rod to plug the hole in the main water line due to the whole SH being removed. Luckily, No debris fell into the main water line to obstruct the flow of water & the SH worked OK. I replaced two SH & had the same problem with both. After removing the damaged SH, I was unable to remove either of the caps on them with this tool. The caps were just to tight. My question is how are you supposed to remove the cap when you must turn it in the same direction as you would (counterclockwise) to remove the main body of the SH.......

It took a hot second to get used to what configuration on this very universal tool to use for my sprinkler set, but once figured out, awesome tool. I could pull a sprinkler head, add an extender underneath and reassemble in 2 minutes with no digging. Hate landscapers that put irrigation below sod level! I had to lift and swap spray heads on 30 stations, but took only a few hours with this tool and no digging. The longest part of that was the 1st 3 until I figured out this tool well. Instructions could be better with it. ALSO, careful with the metal wand tip. It’s designed to block the pipe hole from falling dirt and to maintain alignment for reassembly, but that red tip can slip off the rod and be wedged in ur deep pipe. Happened to me, but blew it out with water pressure when sprinklers on (close call!). I had to roughen the metal rod tip with sand paper and superglue the red tip back on.

At first glance, it looks like flimsy plastic for a lot of money. After using it, however, I have come to appreciate its design and innovation. It fits most brands of sprinkler heads and extracts the body from the ground cleanly, If the old sprinkler body is the same diameter or larger than the new one, this will work. I replaced three heads today and this gadget saved me much digging and backbreaking work. I still think it's a lot of money for the material that you are getting, but if saving hard labor is of value to you, definitely consider this item. In most cases, it does what it promises, which is enabling me to replace sprinkler heads without the digging. Label men a happy customer (except for the high price).

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

Bought this tool and already replaced five Sprinkler heads in my yard. This thing works exactly as described with very nice quality, particularly for a 3-D printed tool. You can’t go wrong buying this thing. Zero digging required to replace entire sprinkler assemblies.

I’m so happy that i no longer need to hire people to replace a hunter sprinkler head for $65 when in fact I can buy one head for less than $10. Already replaced two in under 10 minutes let me tell you this thing is a life saver. No mess no digging no destroying your lawn. It is indeed 3D printed but I felt like the quality is alright. Either way it’s a sprinkler you just need to hand tight it a bit like a garden faucet if you force it on you won’t get it off next time and also you break the tool. Nice little thing that could end up saving me thousands considering I have almost 60 sprinkler heads!

Before you purchase understand it looks to be 3D printed. Teeth lasted for one sprinkler head. Great idea just needs stronger material.

Perfect tool for adding sprinkler extensions or simple taking off sprinkler heads.. My hands were so sore from trying to adjust them previously. I searched and found this. Initially I felt the price a little hight, but once received I found how handy and versitile it was - - well worth it!! I have two sizes of sprinklers and this helped me adjust and add risers to both with ease.
