I went to Home Depot to get this tool, but they only sell a whole set with other tools. I bought it anyway, but it didn’t work. The way I got it out was to cut the broken piece with a cutter, I did 4 vertical cuts, I was careful not to cut too much, only the thickness of the inner broken pipe, then used a thin flat screwdriver to push out the broken pieces, the first one was the hardest one, the rest just came off easily. Then I just turned on the water a bit to push out all fallen debris and installed my new piece. It doesn’t leak, so it worked fine. Just in case someone else didn’t have luck with the magic tool.

I had one break like that too. I bought the same set at home depot and the tool just shredded the broken piece instead of catching and allowing me to unscrew it. LOL, glad I'm not the only one. Going to try your trick before I go and cut the line and replace the whole T-joint.

I need that tool at 0:34 because I broke my riser super low. I am glad the setup looks easily fixable for these types of accidents. Because the person that last fixed my sprinklers showed me what to do but I felt bad for not paying attention and breaking a head again.

Any advice when the easy out doesn't work? I have a broken riser in an old sprinkler pipe, a cannot get it out with the easy out. I tried hammering the easy out in so it cuts in deep, deep enough that I have to use cheater bars on either side of the handle to turn it. It just ends up scraping the inside of the nipple instead of turning it.

Sorry for the late reply- I would probably cut the PVC "T" out and install a new one. I will be doing that today or tomorrow. Sorry the easy out didn't work for you! Make sure when you install new risers you only finger tighten them...

If the riser is broken off at the top of the pvc T then the tool will bottom out and not get enough bite to unscrew. If they made an extractor that was much shorter to avoid buttoming out. Otherwise I would have to cut the extractor tool short so it doesn't bottom out.
