PTC1 Spray Head Pull-Up Tool for Pop-Up Sprinklers

This tool works very well. Sometimes it is a bit difficult to get it to hook under the lip of the spray nozzles.. The function for holding the riser up once you do get it pulled up works very well. I'd give it 4-1/2 Stars!

Perfect for picking up pop up sprinkler head nozzles. Works just fine

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.

I wish they’d update their nozzles to have a little more area for these to grip onto but overall this tool works well.

Excellent quality when you need it.

I was hesitant to buy this as I always just used a pair of vice grips. I do have to spend a lot of time on my sprinklers though as the snow is rough on them in the winter. Given the amount of time I spend, this purchase was worth it. While the vice grips work, obviously you don’t want to crush your sprinkler either. This has cut the time I spend for sure.

Purchased one of these last year for a broken popup sprinkler. Never knew about this useful tool. Always used a small blade screwdriver to coax the popup where I could grab it. Then jam the screwdriver where the popup would stay put. This tool makes it easy. Place inside top of sprinkler head and gently squeeze the tool. It will open and you can then pull the sprinkler popup up and grab the head. Then squeeze tool to open the jaws, place at bottom of popup and let go. The popup will stay fully extended. When finished, squeeze tool jaws to remove and grab sprinkler head to allow to retract bank into the housing. Well made and durable. Bought a 2nd one just to have. Excellent and works on any brand popup sprinkler

This tool is essentially for maintaining irrigation sprinkler systems, especially for residential systems. The benefit is that you can clamp the tool around the nozzle riser and remove the nozzle without the riser retracting. Also you can pull the riser up by gripping the nozzle in the inset radius which allows servicing without turning the valves on.

A really worthwhile tool when changing sprinkler heads
