why is it i buy the better of the lawn sprinklers and they NEVER seem to work or break the first time using them?!?!
i bought a pack of 4 'irrigation stab' sprinklers and they are made of metal...first thing stabbing into the ground..'snap' it breaks!
i went and bought the 'tractor' sprinklers cause the neighbors SWEAR by them....the dang thing goes so slow in spinning that you'd be able to water by a shot glass quicker! we've tried repositioning the arms and everything...nothing works. so...buy another...same dang thing!
i have every type of sprinkler you can imagine...and all are broke or won't work. i have this ocillating one that had a year gaurantee...yep...right at a year, it won't ocillate!
just about ready to put my kids out on the front lawn on a lazy susan and let them be my sprinklers! (hmmmm, thats NOT a bad idea! )

Because your buying 'junk' from the hardware stores. Go to a real authorized Lawn Sprinkler Wholesale House, in your yellow pages and buy a quality product. I use to work for the manufacturers trust me on this one. Good luck.

I like lawn sprinklers. When I am out walking and it is 100 degrees - I can stand in a neighbor's yard - under his sprinkler. I just wonder why he turns his dog loose on me.

I've replaced so many sprinklers, over the years. I now go to the 99 cent store and buy their garden supplies. If they break, I'm only out a couple of dollars. They are just as good as the ones elsewhere.

you are dangerous....ok let me take a stab at this...
i bought a pack of 4 'irrigation stab' sprinklers and they are made of metal...first thing stabbing into the ground..'snap' it breaks!
think about what you are stabbing the 8 plus inches into.. a hard unyielding strata or moist soft fertile ground? and what causes it to snap is that final plunge with a twisting action at the end as you try to push it in deeper still.
.
as for
i went and bought the 'tractor' sprinklers cause the neighbors SWEAR by them....the dang thing goes so slow in spinning that you'd be able to water by a shot glass quicker! we've tried repositioning the arms and everything...nothing works. so...buy another...same dang thing!
these type sprinklers require enough water pressure and volume to make everything work. what you describe here, "the dang thing goes so slow in spinning that you'd be able to water by a shot glass quicker!" is an indication of not enough pressure or volume. With too much pressure or volume, the mechanism is overwhelmed and just sits there with a forceful stream of water gushing out of the ends. ...hope this helps you in your quest for the perfect hose attachment
