Orbit56667Z Tripod Lawn Zinc Impact Sprinkler - 360 Degree Rotating Sprinkler

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 was pleasantly surprised at the quality when I opened the box. It's sturdy and the height adjusts in a flash. Wide spray pattern which is easily conformed to the area I need. These are the best type of sprinkler for a large area. Waters quickly and efficiently. Definitely a great purchase. I will be getting a second one for the back yard.

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

This little sprinkler works quite well for watering our indoor horse arena. The spread is nice and it seems to water fairly evenly. I am not sure how long it will last, but it does work well. It has not tipped over once during watering (I was afraid this might happen). It is fairly easy adjust the spray pattern.

I admit it... I was reluctant to buy this item. After all, I had tried other tripod based irrigation sprinklers only to be disappointed. They all failed in just a short while because they were poorly constructed and made of lightweight materials.Afler all, impact sprinklers generate a lot of torque when I der pressure.That is not a problem with this sprinkler!This sprinkler tripod is beefy, with a strong, heavy-duty metal base. The impact sprinkler head is also heavy duty brass and all metal construction.The throw distance is adjustable with a metal set screw while the unit can be adjusted to a small coverage area (approximately 15-20 degrees) all they up to a full 360 degree rotation.The telescoping legs are super easy to adjust, which is important if working on sloped ground. With impact sprinklers it is important to keep the sprinkler head level for greatest efficiency. And adjusting the legs up or down will either increase or decrease the throw distance.Admittedly, impact sprinklers are not the most efficient, but they are effective. For my front yard, for example, I can achieve a 25-30 foot radius at half-flow from my water valve and deliver a 1/4 inch of water per hour at the furthest extent of the spray.Properly maintained and stored, I expect to get a decade or more out of this sprinkler.

The media could not be loaded. 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.
