  • Patent number: 4260026
    Abstract: A tool for trimming grass and roots from around sprinkler installations includes a shaft with a pair of outwardly extending struts and a cutting member formed of a generally circular plate fixed to the struts, the lower extremity of the plate forming a cutting blade. A plurality of trimming blades is removably fixed to the inner periphery of the angular plate approximately one inch from the bottom of the cutting blade, and extends away from the inner periphery of the plate so as to permit use of the trimming blades when the area around the sprinkler is overgrown with roots, but further permitting removal of the trimming blade when an annular cut around the sprinkler installation is sufficient to remove the undesirable growth.
