" ... We have used this sprinkler since 3 AUG 18 and it is now leaking around the base - appears to have something chipped or flaked off around the vertical shaft causing a leak! ... "
" ... That effort was wasted since when we removed it from its box this year, one of the metal "feet" was in the bottom of the box. ... The plastic part for the screw that holds on the metal foot was broken off. ... "
" ... Various little plastic pieces just don't last. ... "
" ... ordered 2 and one broke immediately. ... "
" ... I was trying to avoid the cheap, plastic sprinklers that you can get for $10 but I just ended up with 2 $50 cheap, plastic sprinklers. ... "
" ... The base is plastic, not metal. ... "
" ... So instead of it going directly over the sprinkler it falls down on the yard like 6 feet downwind. ... "
