Nelson Turbo-Heart 18-Jet Oscillating Sprinkler with 3,250 Square-Foot Coverage 50915 Review

I bought three of these sprinklers to water our yard which we had just seeded (just slightly less than an acre).

At first I was impressed by the adjustability of the sweep area, although there is no adjustment for the width of the fan size.This must be done by water pressure alone.After a short period however, the adjustment for sweep area became more difficult.I suspect that it was from dirt getting in the mechanism.

The first one had the hose connection fail.It seems that this is a weak link for nearly all sprinklers.It breaks off immediately behind the hose connection point.

The other two quit oscillating after less than a weeks worth of use.It seems that the "turbo Heart" is heartless.On one of them, the screw that holds the oscillating mechanism to the rotating "heart" started to back out (I thought that was causing the oscillating failure) but even after re-tightening the screw it still did not oscillate properly.After a short period of time, both of them started to stall in one position, which would cause them to flood out my new lawn seed.

Not sure if ANYONE makes a decent oscillating sprinkler based on other reviews.

Melnor 4125SH Brass Sweeper Nozzle Review

I don't suppose there is much you could do with a hunk of brass to mess things up. This nozzle is well built, has a good finish and is very useful when you need a strong, steady stream to wash down trailers, hose off awalk or whatever. I would suggest that you also get a hose shutoff like theMelnor 9001 Brass Shut-off so you don't need to run back to the faucet asyou are working.

Nelson High Temperature and High-Pressure Rated Rear Trigger Industrial Spray Nozzle 50501 Review

I was expecting a little better quality on the actual water jet. It comes out in a messy way, not accurate, no matter which position the nozzle is turned. It works, no secrets, and also no engineering.

Orbit Compact 7-Pattern Zinc Pistol Hose Spray Nozzle 58329 Review

Melnor T402 Deluxe Fireman's Hose Nozzle Review

This is a very nice well crafted nozzle in all respects except one, it seems to limit the flow somewhat from a typical nozzle, and doesn't give the same jet range when set to the thin narrow pattern. I purchased this and a Ray Padula version at the same time, and that one has a superior spray and flow in my view. Otherwise this is great.

Toro 51500 Universal Leaf Collector with 8-Foot Hose Review

I have MANY leaves to remove from my yard each fall, and I am always looking for ways to simplify and speed up the process (short of hiring someone else to do it!). As an extremely satisfied owner of the Toro blower-vac, I did not hesitate to purchase the accessory Universal Leaf Collector. I ordered it from Amazon after finding that its popularity caused it to be sold out at all of my local vendors -- I live in New England.
This product lived up to my EVERY expectation. The part of the entire leaf removal process that I hate the most is the actual disposal of the leaves. My system is as follows: blow the leaves into a manageable pile; convert the blower into the vacuum/mulcher mode; suck the leaves into the fairly small "catch bag" attached to the vacuum; empty the catch bag into those large, brown paper leaf bags. The bags would then be collected by my town on "Leaf Days." The Toro vac/mulcher works great, but the brown bags would fill up very quickly: approximately three catch "bags-worth" per brown bag. It was also very awkward and difficult to empty the catch bag into the paper bags. I have a metal stand to hold the paper bags upright and open, but it was still a very time-comsuming task that often resulted in some spilled leaf detritus as well as a nose full of dust.
The Toro Universal Leaf Collector attaches to the vac the same way that the catch bag does. The hose coupling snapped on easily (although it was sometimes a little "sticky" to remove it), and at the other end of the hose there is a heavy-duty fabric "can cover" (for lack of a better term) with a drawstring hem. This cover can be placed over the top of a trash can or one of those collapsible barrels that are popular garden accessories these days. (It is important to make sure that the drawstring is pulled tight and securely around whatever collection conainer you are using, but that is not a problem.) Once you are set up in this fashion, just turn on the vac and away you go!
Depending on the size of the container you are using, you can quickly and easily remove MANY leaves from your lawn, eliminating the whole bagging step. I was concerned that the hose might clog during the vacuuming process, but it NEVER did during my many hours of use. As my available trash cans filled quickly, I was able to figure out a way to attach the "can cover" to the top of the frame holding my paper leaf bags. This worked very well, too. There was, however, a little spillage, as the shape of the can cover does not evenly conform to the top of the leaf bags, no matter how tight I pulled the drawstring. This minor inconvenience was FAR outweighed by the time I saved by being able to vacuum the leaves directly into the bags.
One minor complaint or bit of advice: Wear a dust mask, as dust is generated into the air when using this attachment.
In summary: I would not hesitate to HIGHLY recommend this product. It is a GREAT time- and labor-saver for what can be an arduous job. I am once again pleased with the high quality and durability of Toro products.

Nelson Industrial High Flow Nozzle Review

My husband bought this sprayer in early summer 2008.As a full-time fireman, he loves the fireman style nozzle because he's all about dispensing the most water in the least amount of time.The sprayer was used regularly last summer and fall and was used off and on during the winter months.My husband got it out the other day to start spring 2009 watering and it was leaking horribly.He took it apart and there's a piece inside that, according to him, should have been made of metal... not plastic.For as much as these sprayers are, they shouldn't be made of cheap parts... and surely should last more than a couple of seasons--and definitely more than a year!Beware!

Melnor 3060 6-Cycle Electronic AquaTimer Digital Dual Hose Timer Review

I own two of these and love them.This has the most flexible scheduling I've ever seen.You can use the mist setting which allows the timer to run for 2,5,10, or 15 minutes then set off for 10 minutes then turn back on again.This is the best feature as it allows the water to soak into the ground instead of run off not to mention lower watering bills for the same green lawn.
If you have weak water pressure, using this mist setting to have two of the timers alternating between on and off.One is on for 10 minutes while the other is off.
For large sod installations, this timer is great.If you buy a 4-1 splitter of the main pipe, then attach these timers, then a 2 to 1 splitter, you can run 8 sprinklers on alternating time patters that allow each set of sprinklers to maintain high water pressure.No more moving sprinklers around!
You can set 6 different on/off times during ONE day if you need to.Great for new sod or overseeding a yard.Keeps it wet all day.You can select which days of the week to run or odd/even.It saves 5 different schedules.There's even a schedule that only runs once.
The other feature I love is the elmination of "water hammer."With other timers, you know when it stops because of that loud THUD!This timer has a more gradual open and shutting of the valve that elimnates that loud thud in your pipes.
