Not bad, but has one problem. [Posted on 2007-05-27]
I have been using this for a year for spot watering dry places in my yard. It's especially useful for small areas and it is much better than the Nelson equivalent which has serious uniformity problems.

The only issue with this one seems to be that it starts to leak profusely after a while because the internal water connection becomes loose. It can easily be repaired as follows:

1. Remove the single screw from the bottom and lift off the rotating top.
2. Pull out the round water transfer fitting on the base (identifiable by the small rubber O-ring).
3. Remove the metal spring washer, which has probably become flattened out over time.
4. Bend the spring washer into a more warped shape. It's best to bend it in thirds rather than in half.
5. Put spring washer back on and reassemble the way it came apart.

I intend to get another one of these for my other hose. Very handy.
