Do to the wife’s beautification of our yard I needed to move one of the sprinklers over a few feet. Armed with a hand shovel and a smile I went to work. After digging it out I discover that my plan A was not going to be needed. It was going to be a much simpler job than I thought. I took out my trusty Cadet and unscrewed the hose clamp holding the black polly pipe to the sprinkler and tried to pull it off. After a few more grunts and pulls I just reached back for the Cadet and cut the darn pipe off. I took the sprinkler over to the water hose for a good cleaning. I opened the sprinkler up and used the nail files pointy end to remove the sprinklers nozzle and gave everything a good cleaning out. Back to the hole, I enlarged it with the hand shovel and then again cut the polly pipe shorting it a few feet. I slipped the hose clamp on the pipe and then pushed the sprinkler elbow into the pipe. Tightened the clamp with the Cadets screwdriver. Time for a quick test. Everything looks pretty good, I just needed to make a small adjustment to the spray and the Cadet’s small screwdriver fit the adjustment screw perfectly. A half a turn and a little grass seed, bag opened with the Cadets blade, and it’s Miller time.

Save one for me. :) I've really found that little pokey nail file on the Cadet very useful for allot of things.
