Walking Sprinklers
Since many years the rugged sprinklers have been built to last and the walking sprinklers have always helped the mankind to work easily and yet efficiently. The walking sprinklers creeps along on cast iron wheels by using the hose as its track. The walking sprinkler can also be used as a stationary sprinkler by flipping the driving pawls out of engagement for other uses. Walking sprinklers are the easy efficient way to have a beautiful, green lawn! The walking sprinklers are heavy-duty with cast iron construction. The Walking Sprinkler always creeps along with its own power by using the hose as its track. In order to use always lay your hose through the middle of the area needing water resulting gentle curves around bushes, trees and corners.

Bill Whitten @ 1:58 am:
I purchased an Orbit cast iron walking sprinklet from Home Depot in Granbury, Texas. During the first use, one of the "wands" blew out of the rotator. I pushed it back in and tightened the nut by hand; but it blew out again rather quickly. I then got a wrench and gently tightened it a little more; but the same thing again. It doesn't matter how tight I try it, it still blows off. The other side has never been a problem. I have a set of micrometers and compared the two. One of them is a few thousandths smaller in diameter. I tried to trade it at Home Depot for another one; but they said I had bought the last one and would not receive any more until possibly next spring. I truly "love" the unit because the drive-wheel cleats are so long, it has sufficient power to pull the hose further than the other brand walking sprinkler that I own. What can I do; other than supergluing the wand and nut together?
Thanks for any reply.
