A bit of a disappointment, given the high price [Posted on 2008-08-12]
The sprinkler itself works very well, and feels pretty strong.
However, the plastic hose connector is not on par with the rest of the construction, the threads are fragile and the seal not so good, therefore expect some leeks, especially if you plan to connect and disconnect frequently.
Furthermore, the connector is of a collar kind, and cannot be replaced, meaning that when this cheap plastic part fails you will have a lot of trouble connecting a hose to the sprinkler.
Terrible spike base [Posted on 2008-08-14]
The metal base with the hose attachments is very poorly designed and made. As the previous reviewer pointed out, it leaks badly and just pops off. There is no way to fix or tighten this junction and when the plastic wears a bit the hose just falls off and sprinkler is useless.
AVOID ANY GILMOUR Sprinklers with this spike base. The sprinkler heads themselves work fairly well.
