PTC1 Pop-Up Sprinkler

This tool really works fantastic and performs exactly as described. Before purchasing this item I always had a very difficult time holding up the sprinkler head shaft so I could change out a spray nozzle. Using this tool makes the entire process extremely easy and keeps the frustration level down to zero. The procedure is very simple: just grab the spray head with the jaws of the tool and pull it up until it stops. Then holding it up with one hand simply place the jaws around the shaft. It will stay up while you replace the spray head or rotate to adjust the spray arc. It is one of the tools you wish you would have bought and used years ago. I give this tool a solid 5 stars!

This tool was a game changer

Still Works great now after 2 seasons. Perfect !

It's the perfect tool to hold up sprinkler heads. Highly recommended, and easy tool to use...

Very convenient tool for an otherwise pain in the butt task of adjusting/ repairing sprinkler head.

Works perfectly! It will make you look like a pro.

The pliers - What a clever little tool. This pulls the spray heads up, and holds them up, without even turning on the water. The little barbs move outward as you squeeze, and basically hook under a lip on the spray head. Once you get a grip on it, you pull up until you can get your hand around it. If your spray head came off, and the tube retracted completely into the housing, you can still use this tool to pull it up. Just stick the nose down into the tube, squeeze, and slowly pull it up. The pliers work on any brand of pop-up sprinklers, not just Rain Bird. Once it’s up, you put them around the popped up shaft, and it keeps it from retracting. I’m not quite sure what the adjustment screw is for, but I presume just so you don’t squeeze too much and break the spring. There’s no mention of it in the directions (which is annoying to me). If your system is on, and you spot a head that needs attention, you can just clamp this around that one so it doesn’t retract when you shut them off. Better yet, buy a few pairs so you can keep multiple heads popped up for servicing. The construction is good, except that the pivot pin in the middle is a hollow rivet. Clearly, that’s the weakest link. The rest of it is sturdy enough… the stamped metal is more than 3 mm thick, and the rubber handle covers are nice. The screwdriver - The screwdriver adjustment tool is smaller than I imagined. I took pictures and listed the measurements. The handle feels like very cheap plastic, and I don’t think it would hold up to much torque. Likewise, the screwdriver blade is very thin, so I wouldn’t use this for an actual screwdriver. But it’s super handy to get geared rotors pulled up and adjusted. Buying these saved me a ton of money over hiring a sprinkler guy, and I’m very happy. Hope this helps.

A great tool and simple to use.

A really worthwhile tool when changing sprinkler heads
