world facts 10 strange and useless inventions By Ricardo DA Figueiredo 07 Jan 102 Views 10 strange and useless inventions Nonsense inventions are what I often think of, are my favorite creatures - glowing sunglasses, waterproof tea bags and an inflatable dart. Though I'd like to take the inventions more seriously, which companies think is a really good idea. Phone finger iPhone and all touchscreen phones are really annoying when you have fingerprints on it, then Phone Fingers is a great way to solve this problem. ...

Got sprinkler system? Buy this!
Not enough words to say how much I love this tool. It pulls the spray head up vertically with the tip and holds it horizontally so you can clean or replace the sprinkler. Comes with pictures and instructions! No fuss packaging. I used to struggle or unscrew the entire sprinkler body which is guaranteed to gunk up the line. If you service your own system or thought you had to hire pros for every clogged head, anyone can do simple maintenance chores with this well made, clever tool.

If you do much with popups, this is a tool you really need. So much easier to pull up the popup and then hold it there while you change the nozzle and filter

Must have tool if you maintain a sprinkler system with pop up heads.
I maintain all my irrigation system and use this to hold the heads up while flushing sediment out of the line. Simply turn on the water, let the head go up, clamp on the riser, turn system off, remove nozzle, turn it back on and then reinstall the nozzles.

If you have an in ground sprinkler system, these come in very handy for working on, or changing out sprinkler heads. I'm new to having a sprinkler system and it has been a learning curve for maintenance & repairs. This little tool really helps with that.

Rain Bird pop up nozzle sprinkler required tool
If you have pop up rainbird sprinkler system with the nozzle attachments, you need this tool. Before I even knew this tool existed, I was using a needle nose pliers (very ineffectivley) and it was such a pain to hold onto the spring nozzle while trying to change the nozzle for a new one. Get this tool. My only gripe was the first they attempted to send me was a completely empty envelope package, someone failed to actually put the tool in the package before they mailed it to me.

If you work on your own irrigation system and don't have a couple of these, then you are really missing out. This tool can grab an inactive, retracted spray head and lift it up, and also can also clamp onto an active spray head; in either case so you can work on it. This turns a two person job into a one man operation! Pure genius

Nice when an inexpensive tool makes a job go easier and quicker.
Getting a popup spray head up and then holding it up with one hand leaving one hand to fix the problem (clean the filter or replace the spray head) usually requires 3 hands and most of us have only two hands. Two hands are quite enough when using the Spray Head Pull Up Tool. A simple tool that makes it easy to pull up a spray head - then grab the spray with your other hand and use the pull up tool to hold the pop up spray up while you replace the spray head or clean the filter or both using both free hands.

I couldn't find any better made ones
In addition to the SRT pop up removal tool, these Pull-Up pliers are my go to tool when I'm working on sprinklers. Get them. I only wish I had when I got my first house with sprinklers 25 years ago. So what if they're made in China and won't last years and years? I couldn't find any better made ones. Take care of them and buy new ones when you need to or go back to needle nose and slip lock pliers that bust up aging nozzles and won't hold the pop-up up. These are cheap enough I'd by them anytime. Here's the life changing SRT tool: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L0N1FN2?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

Who Would Have Thought
Such a fantastic tool for working on Rain Bird Spray Head Pop Ups. Remove the screw-on top, unless it's popped off already. Insert the retrieval tips into pop-up tube, squeeze handles, pull up tube. Grab hold of pop-up tube with hand, remove tool from tube, then squeeze handles together, placing tool around tube and release handles. The tool keeps tube from being pulled back into the sprinkler body. Totally Kool!!!

An Excellent Rain Bird Sprayer Head Tool
The Rain Bird PTC1 Sprayer Head Pull Up Tool. These pliers are a must have tool if you own a Rain Bird irrigation system. They are used to pull the heads upwards on all your Rain Bird “ SPRAYER “ heads and are worth the money. After you pull up the sprayer head you simply use the pliers to clamp onto the barrel of the sprinkler head with these spring loaded pliers. This gives you the freedom of having both hands free and maintains the head in the upward position for cleaning of the filter or adjusting or changing the sprayer head. The Rain Bird Screwdriver Tool on the other hand is only used for the adjustments and the pulling up the Rain Bird ROTARY Sprinkler Heads. It should be noted that a common piece of wire with a tiny bend / hook on the end will work just as well to pull up the rotary heads. The screwdriver is super tiny and not worth the money there asking and should be $1.99 or less. Any slot or flat ( hobby or watch ) screwdriver with a 1/8th inch wide blade will work for adjusting all the screws on the Rain Bird Rotary Sprinkler heads.
