ABSTRACT:
A water sprinkler head cleaning tool is adapted for use in cleaning a clogged sprinkler head while the sprinkler is operating. The cleaning tool has a handle with a straight or T-shaped configuration, an elongated thin metallic needle-like unclogging shaft, and a water spray deflecting shroud with a flared configuration attached to a low profile tapered mounting tip disposed at the forward end of the handle or attached to the handle itself rearwardly of the mounting tip. The shaft is embedded at its rearward end portion in the handle tip and projects forwardly therefrom to an outer pointed end with a knurled region rearwardly of the pointed end. The shroud extends from the handle forward end in surrounding relation to the elongated shaft. The conical flared configuration of the shroud deflects or diverts any flow of water emanating from the clogged head during cleaning of the orifice so that it does not hit the person using the tool. The shroud is preferably composed of a mesh-like material which will slow down the flow of water so that the person does not get wet but does not block the water flow from going through the shroud.
