I placed it on a tripod and it covers my whole garden easily.  The sprinkler is made of heavy brass and feels solid and like it will last for a long time.

Should Last for Many Years

Rain Bird sprinklers have been around for a long time.  Many of the comments left were about how these sprinklers have been in the families for generations.  It should rest the buyers mind to know that this is a tried and true product that has been around a long time.  Here is one of the longevity comments, "I have an old model my dad bought that is 50 years old and works just as well as the new one. It is a life time investment that doesn't require much in the way of maintenance. The plastic rainbird version worked ok but were not dog proof.  My English Setter destroyed two plastic versions in one week. The brass model is a winner my grandsons can fight over."

Higher Cost but Worth It

The cost of the Rain Bird Brass Impact Sprinkler is higher than a lot of the sprinklers out there on the market, but you really do get what you pay for with this sprinkler.  Many of the comments left the buyer skeptical over the price, but then happy that they paid more for the quality that they received.  Here is one of many of the price comments, "I've tried many impact sprinkler at my farm. The extra cost of Rain Bird is always worth the long, reliable life."

May Need Good Water Pressure

Because this is a heavy duty sprinkler, some people found that their water pressure was not good enough to make it work properly.  Here is one of the water pressure comments, "This is a very sturdy sprinkler head. The one down side is that because of the weight of the metal, water pressure is very very important. My sprinkler system didn't have enough water pressure to make this one work properly. It worked, just not how it really should have. Honestly I had to go out and buy the plastic model (from the same company) to get it work with my system."
