Orbit 56667Z 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 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 put this Orbit 58308Z TriPod brass Impact Sprinkler to work this morning for the first time. It is an excellent sprinkler and I get good range out of the distance of the water stream. A few adjustments need to be made however. As soon as I turned on my water, the sprinkler tipped over. I ended up getting 3 concrete 'steps' (12"x8"x2" and not very heavy) and used 3 bunji cords to attach the steps to the tripod ... problem solved. The trip pin was working good yesterday but today with the high pressure water that I have, it was knocked all askew and I'm unable to adjust the horizontal distance the sprinkler turns. Not a problem because I only need 360 degrees but kind of annoying that the dang sprinkler broke the first time I used it. I tried to turn the pin to get it straight again but I didn't want to apply too much pressure and end up busting it even more. Kind of ticks me off because I bought the brass unit specifically for reliability and longevity of the sprinkler ... and a .03 cent paper clip turned it to kaka the first day. It is still an excellent sprinkler with excellent range ... easily 45' from the sprinkler --- 90' diameter. I gave it 5 stars, regardless of the paper clip trip pin, because I will get good use out of the 360 degree unit.

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.

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.
