5 Tools Every Irrigator Needs for a Tricky Job

Every so often, everyone comes across a challenging job. Or maybe you just forgot the pliers that day, which made every task that morning seem tricky. At Ewing, you can find the tools you need to make near-impossible PVC repairs, adjust nozzles and troubleshoot problems in the field. Here’s five tools you can use on days when things just don’t seem to be going your way.

  1. Fitting Saver

Sometimes there are very few options to complete an irrigation repair. PVC IPS fitting savers remove pipe from glued joints, so a new pipe can be inserted. It easily fits on most portable electric drills, and comes in ½-, ¾- and 1-inch.

The EZ-Out Riser Extractor is a stub wrench for extricating broken plastic PVC and CPVC pipe from sprinkler risers. It features a T-handle for extra torque and removes ½-, ¾-, 1- and 1 ¼-inch IPS risers.
