Nelson50230 Square Pattern Whirling Vane Sprinkler

This simple little sprayer puts out a very uniform square spray pattern. I have had like it for many years and decided to get a second one. I noticed only one change from the old one to the new one: the new one has a rotating collar for attachment. This is not an improvement. The old one is much easier to hook up by just rotating the whole sprinkler instead of trying to manipulate the collar on the new one.

I like the Nelson Square Sprinkler. I have purchased them locally for several years. From this order I am convinced there are two versions - Flimzy, can't repair needs early replacement, and Built better, sturdier easier to use and will last longer. I have probably 8 or 10 of the first mentioned, Nelson Square sprinklers that I have held onto. I believe that if an item is busted and can be easily repaired and put back into service, do so. The clamped on aluminum top (actual sprinkler) would be easy to remove and replace. If shops to repair(replace the aluminum cap), or the replacement part(s) exist, the search engines couldn't 'em. Aside from all that, The 6 Pack Nelson 50230 Rain Swirl Whirling Vane Sprinkler, arrived quicker than I expected and in excellant condition. I have them in service and am pleased that they seem to be the second of the two afore mentioned versions of the Nelson Square Sprinkler. It was reasonably priced too.

My daughter's lawn is rectangular with a notch in the middle - the middle was hard to water without getting water where she didn't want it with her existing sprinkler...I said, "This is a job for a square shooter" and found this one on Amazon...works great.

I BOUGHT TWO OF THESE ONE ONLY LASTED TWO WEEKS THE SPINNER CAME OFF AM STILL USING THE OTHER ONE

These sprinklers do an absolutely fine job of what they are intended to do. They cover a significant amount of ground, and are heavy enough to stay in place. The connections with the hoses also feel solid.

Piece of junk!
