Orbit Gear Drive Sprinkler (Sprinkler on Tripod) (Brass Impact Sprinkler) (Zi...

This work horse of a sprinkler gets the job done. I left on vacation in July during heat warnings and nothing died. I was concerned it would not be heavy duty enough to keep from falling over in a storm but it has done great. Right out of the box the legs easily telescoped for set up. I do wish it could go a little higher as it comes to my upper leg and I am 5' 2" with short legs lol. The distance it covers is incredible as I have a huge garden with lots of raised beds and I also needed to get my in ground potato patch. It can spin 360 degrees, but the water distribution is different than when you are using the easy metal clips to adjust the direction. It is limited ever so slightly by the size of the clips and it could be my user error that's messing that up maybe not the design. Adjustability is important in the garden. This may be more designed for a lawn to cover alot of territory, but it worked well and my plants survived. You cannot tell there is any plastic material because it is so sturdy. I had my eye on one of these for a long time and finally decided to invest in a more heavy duty sprinkler like this and that is well worth the money.

I wanted to replace my traditional "Fan style" sprinkler. You know, the one where the water goes up in a fan pattern and goes back and forth. My old one wasn't spraying all of my yard and I was constantly having to move it around to cover everywhere. This unit has definitely done the job. It covers my yard very well and is very sturdy. The legs are adjustable so you can adjust it to different heights if you want to. My only complaint isn't so much about this unit, but more so about impact sprinklers in general. They're a lot more difficult to get the spray and coverage just right. You have to adjust the height, there's a pin the water hits to adjust the spray pattern itself, there's a lever you can move to control how high in the air the spray goes, there are clips you can move to adjust how far back and forth the sprinkler goes, and a level to flip if you just want it to spray 360 degrees rather than a set area. All of this is actually really good to have since you have a lot of customization. It just takes a while to setup right if you need it to spray a certain way. I watched a video Orbit posted on YouTube to see what everything does and how to adjust things. The directions that came with the sprinkler are almost useless if you're new to these types of sprinklers. But the video they have online is VERY easy to follow and does an excellent job of explaining how to make adjustments. It saved me a lot of time and I highly suggest people watch it.

This works great in my vegetable garden, it does have good pressure, good range and doesn’t fall over, and adjusting the height is easy. The downside was it did not come with instructions to calibrate the direction of the sprayer. Overall good quality and pretty sturdy product

I was looking for a sprinkler that could cover a big area for my garden. This performs great 10/10 distance. It is also great that it can do 360 it can cover even a bigger area. I like that you can configure a lot of the settings to get the right coverage. My only issue is that setting it up is more of a trail and error. There is no easy way to adjust and use without try over and over.

I'm very pleasantly surprised with this sprinkler and tripod. The tripod is very sturdy, using three-segment rectangular cross-section legs that are easily resized. I'm an amateur photographer and have owned many tripods and this one is sturdier than the still-photo tripods I have or currently own. The only tripod I have that is sturdier is a heavy video tripod. As you can see in the video, the tripod makes it very easy to position the sprinkler as you want on uneven ground. The sprinkler was set up on a hill with about a 20-degree slope, so that's why the three legs are extended differently from each other. The leg spread can be locked in using a clamp on the center column, so if you want a **slightly** higher or lower height for the sprinkler head, you can move the legs closer together or further out, although the amount of movement is limited. The central column does not have the ability to extend, so you're limited to a total height of about three feet. If the central column did extend, the impact sprinkler would possibly be knocked over by the force of the water. I noticed the entire sprinkler and tripod does shake a little (but not much) as the sprinkler is operating, so increasing the center column height may be quite a bit more shaky. As for the sprinkler head, it's brass and stainless, which is excellent. The reach is great (depending on your water pressure), and I'm able to water to a radius of about 40-50 feet. The stream of water is adjustable using a simple thumb screw so that you can have a more coherent, tighter stream that reaches out further, or a more diffuse stream that soaks the ground a little more, but has a shorter reach. My backyard is a little large, so I set it to a longer reach. The 'directionality' of the sprinkler head, the arc that the stream follows, is adjustable with two spring clips, which work as expected, and you can flip up a protruding device at the back of the head so that it bypasses the spring clips and does a complete 360 degree rotation. The quality of construction is excellent overall and I'm extremely pleased with it. I highly recommend it, especially at its relatively low price. It's definitely cost-effective.

La struttura metallica è robusta. Purtroppo il sistema di bloccaggio delle gambe telescopiche è fragile ed inadeguato. Si sono rotti in breve due dei blocchi.

Very happy with the function, ideal for my sloping block. The only thing letting this product down is the constriction materials used for the legs. They are corroding away under the paint (not anodized) after 3 months of use. This makes it problematic then trying to adjust the leg length. This is the last thing I would have expected from a sprinkler.

Heavy duty. Great quality. Works as advertised. No leaks not even a drip. Easy to set up and adjust. Happy with purchase and would definitely buy again.

Great tripod, absolutely useless sprinkler - more water leaks out of the sprinkler body than actually sprays from the nozzle, so completely unfit for purpose. Was about to return in disgust when I had an accident and by the time I came out of hospital the return window had just closed!

great adjustment heights to suit various watering positions. Very sturdy, solid, sprinkler stand.
