Abstract
A method and tool for cleaning and adjusting an irrigation system sprinkler head includes a tool with tool head configured to engage an adjustment element of the sprinkler head and a curved tube having a first open end and a second open end. The tool is positioned so that the first open end of the curved tube receives a water stream exiting a nozzle of the sprinkler head and the second open end of the curved tube ejects the water stream in a direction of the adjustment element. The tool is then positioned so that the tool head engages the adjustment element and the adjustment element is turned with the tool head to adjust an operation of the sprinkler head.
