REHAU quick connector 3/4 inch external thread, technical brass

After much looking for an inexpensive garden sprinkler that will cover a large area without having to move it around, I finally settled on purchasing this little beauty.For the grand total of £12.99, it turned up on my doorstep 2 days after ordering, and I connected up that evening when I got home from work. The reach on this sprinkler is amazing, and positioning in the correct place in the center of my garden ensures that it reaches nearly all four corners.You can alter the amount of spray (which effects the distance that it will shoot) by simply turning the screw which pushes the plate across slightly, this means that it covers a wider area, however at the expense of the distance. For the price it is well made, and it comes with 2 type of ring washers that can be adjusted so you can restrict the arc area that you wish to water. Simply by flicking a spring loaded lever means that it will either rotate 360 degrees, or you can manually adjust what area you want to water.Very pleased - and it does the same job as the ones I have seen in parks and cricket pitches - at a fraction of the cost!

This replaced a hozelock version that had developed fatal leaks at the plastic base. I was keen to have an all-metal replacement. This one seemed well thought out and robust enough for home use. A product with the features I wanted. Poorly wrapped for delivery with no box protection, remove one star from the rating, but undamaged. One week later, the clip device that prevents the sprinkler doing complete circuits/enables it to cover limited arcs dropped off in service (leading to the house wall being soaked before I noticed), This is retained by a flanged pin that is just a push fit. I reassembled it, but have no doubt that with the continuing vibration and rotation of use, this will happen again. You might well lose the small but essential spring in long grass. A design failing. I have therefore deducted another star.

It worked really well for one summer, then the head fell off the spike, it was not corroded but had fatigued I guess you would say.I tried to use the head in a new base but over the winter something had obviously happened to the mechanism where it wouldn't change direction any more. maybe corrosion, maybe more metal fatigue.It was easy to adjust and did a really good job while it lasted. be prepared to buy a new one each summer. 2 stars.

Purchased a genuine Rehau sold by Amazon a few months ago and it's great. Sprays a good distance and the lateral movement is steady and precise. The only minor flaw is the diffuser screw can be a bit hard to adjust, but once set, not an issue. Admittedly I've only had the sprinkler a short time, but so far so good. Thought I would get another to improve coverage on irregular shaped garden. However I was sent a Bradas instead of a Rehau by a Marketplace vendor. The quality is certainly not the same and doesn't perform nearly as well, a return was duly requested. I also purchased a genuine Rainbird model from the US and the Rehau is easily as good as it. The Rainbird movement is a bit faster than the Rehau but think I actually prefer the slower action for the coverage that the spray then provides. Hopefully it will last for many years to come.

Great well made sprinkler. Easy to set up and adjust for sweep and reach. Much more adaptable than other types of sprinkler. Push into ground with care as spike is not its strongest part. Hose coupling seems to be a strange size as it was difficult to get a water tight seal unless you used the matching coupling/make for your hose. Looks as though it will last a long time.

Got this to replace a Gardena Rotating Sprinkler - which was excellent, but unfortunately had lots of plastic parts. I guess something heavy was put on top of it during the winter storage period because the little plastic deflector blade that allows you to adjust the range of the jet was completely broken off.This brass made gadget certainly seems robust - but I noted some of the other comments made about the spike being delicate - removed the one from the Gardena and swapped them over - perfect fit.It's certainly not as easy to adjust (no instructions / guidance provided) as the Gardena but I guess practice will make perfect . I brought it into service earlier than planned having put down some lawn weed and feed - and then happened to get a small patch of dry weather. Of course, having used the sprinkler - it brought the rain later that night, so my efforts were unnecessary. Again - trying to achieve the correct spray pattern can only be achieved with the sprinkler working so with the tags that limit the rotational movement not being that easy to adjust - it took a little time.I think this will last for many years - time will tell. Looks to be good value for money though.

Works as expected and no leaks. The range is impressive and if you want it shorter just turn the tap down. Here's a little tip for you......there are 2 clips that are around the base that have arms....this is for the sprinkler to click the catch and then sends the sprinkler in the opposite direction but with a different spray pattern. I found I couldn't get a 360 degree effect with the clips so I removed one and hack sawed on of the metal arms off the remaining clip. Now it does a complete 360 before hitting reverse.As for the reviews saying the spike is flimsy....don't listen to them unless your lawn is like concrete. I've had no problems at all and what I have done is drilled a hole in the middle of a cut off from a log so I can place it anywhere in the garden without the need to keep re-staking it.
