Orbit adjustable tool 26099
this tool is a great tool if it worked. the parts that are attracted to the end of the screw driver fall off with in seconds. the gear driver tip is for commercial or large sprinklers not the average size sprinklers to adjust the distance. the stem clip you might as well throw away because I promise you, you will lose it. It is not snug or tight. I promise you that it is junk. don't waist your cash.

    An OK tool.
    I have had one of these for at least five years now and figured I'd post about it. The bits are easy to swap out and it has good real estate for you to grip when using as a screwdriver. My main complaint about this tool is the wedge piece that you would use to keep a sprinkler head propped up to work on it. In theory this is a great idea, but placing it into the handle for storage failed in the application. It falls out easily and the sharp edges jab you when using the tool as a screwdriver. It's really a pain and you take it out until you're done using the tool, meaning you might leave it somewhere. It would have been better to store the wedge closer to the driver in front of where your hand fits around the handle. A great idea that didn't really translate into what the average home owner will actually use or how they will use it. Like I said, I've had one for more than a few years now and use it often. The above is my opinion only and your mileage may vary.

          The sprinkler pull out tool is in a horrible spot and doesn’t work well. It affects your grip when using the tool and is very uncomfortable. Bits also pop out of their holder constantly. This is a pretty poor tool.

          Rusts and only teo of the funtions actualy work
          This tool looks like it wuld do it all but really only two of the funtions are worth using and thats just the small and large flat head. My biggest concern is that all the metal conponets rust quickly causing the quick adjusting parts to just fall out of the tool. You would think a tool meant to be used with water wouldnt rust so quick

            I have a small landscaping business and this is the worst tool I've ever used. It took me five extra minutes on a house because I kept having to go back and look for all the pieces to it they kept falling out. The little rubber thing that's supposed to keep the sprinkler up doesn't keep the sprinkler up doesn't even fit and when I bought it I thought it was a little overpriced but it wasn't it was way overpriced.

            It would be great if the bits didn't fall out. I bought one 3 years ago, same issue, but I couldn't take it back because the bit fell out somewhere in the yard. Yes, I made sure the bit was in it fell out other times. This unit was no different, but it will go back.

            Looks good and has a great selection of bits, on the bad side the bits don’t stay on the handle very well. Bits either get stuck on the part you are adjusting or they fall off.

            The size of the screw driver and the grip on the handle is great. The only issue is with the small piece which comes off the handle. That is the piece to hold the sprinkler head during installation however the piece can easily fall off the screwdriver handle.

              screwdriver bits fall out to easily and the metal components are far too susceptible to rust especially for a tool thats intended to be used for sprinklers.

              Doesn’t really work like this it does . The tool on the top of the handle gets in the way. This part doesn’t stay in the lock position. The sprinkler lock for the riser does not really work bad design. Would not recommend this tool.

                This is one of those things that seems like a good idea but suffered from (really) poor execution. I would have given it one star but it DID come in handy for taking off the nozzles from those old fashioned fixed sprayers (by using the handle with no "extension attachment" inserted in it). BUT, as mentioned by someone else, the "clip" piece that is intended to keep a pop up sprinkler extended while you work on it doesn't even stay attached to the handle let alone keep a nozzle of the sprinkler that is under spring tension from retracting back into the housing. Also, the small flat head screwdriver bent after only adjusting 5 or 6 brand new (plastic pop up) sprinklers. I didn't try out the other tools (for rotary sprinklers etc), but 2 out of the 3 tools that I DID need it for failed miserably. Also, it has two "extension attachments" (only one is pictured here) but you can obviously only insert one at a time. So the other one stays in the toolbox, or wherever, and you have to go back to get it when you need it (OR stick the second, rather pointy thing, in your pocket). Kind of defeats the purpose of an all in one tool doesn't it? Would have been a neat tool if they spent more time at the drawing board. I returned it.
