My previous oscillating sprinkler finally died and it was time for a new one. Now I didn鈥檛 want to blow the wad on a high priced one that was overkill. Nor a cheap one that wouldn鈥檛 last and had limited function and range. So I thought I鈥檇 split the difference and found this model with numerous options! Obviously the back and forth control is helpful but to be able to aim the spray nozzles from mostly straight up to very wide while being able to independently leave on side straight up gives another level of coverage control! I haven鈥檛 quite sorted out how to best make use of the flow control, but a nice touch is an end plug that allows the cleaning of any inside sediment as well as a nozzle cleaning pin built on it! Add that to the 鈥楺uick Connect鈥 fittings included and I have a well made and durable sprinkler at a good price which will give me years of service to come!
