    OK, I'm only going to tell you this once so pay attention!. Almost every time you change jetter heads you pick up two adjustable wrenches - adjust ONE for the green hose and the other for the head. If you would put GREEN tape on the handle of ONE and always use it on the green hose it would save the adjustment part. Don't make me come down there and do it for you.
