Hello,
I have several oscillating sprinklers on timers. When the sprinklers work, they work very well. But the life expectancy of most oscillating sprinklers seems to be about that of a mayfly. The problem seems to be that the gears and other working parts are usually made of plastic. Would it really cost that much more to use metal instead of plastic for those small, critical parts? Some sprinklers that advertise being made of metal have metal housings and stands but not metal gears! Duh!
I've looked at a lot of websites that purport to list the "best" oscillating sprinklers. They often recommend products which on Amazon have close to one out of five users giving the product one star. Complaints frequently have to do with units ceasing to work right away or within a few months (which echos my experiences).
Can anyone recommend one or more brands of oscillating sprinkler that use metal gears etc. and get reasonably good reviews from users? I'd rather pay more one time than pay less three or four times.
Thanks,
Bill
