CellfastProfessional Impulse Metal Spike Hozelock Compatible Garden Sprayer

Very sturdy. Excellent product

All metal construction seems really good. It does exactly what I need it to do and I’ve tried several sprinklers this summer. This is the one I’ve settled on as it was the best of the lot. Great range, adjustments and really sounds like summer

Having seen the rave reviews for this product over plastic ones I took the plunge and bought it. I like the fact its a professional all metal impact/impulse sprinkler and it is really solid. There is no flimsy spike here and it certainly does feel the business.I promptly put it to work and was happy with how easy it was to adjust the angle of spray.The spray was a little less mist and more 'scattered water' for my liking, this was even with the screw adjusted to the max position for a 'Mist' according to the instructions. The height/range adjuster worked well and I have no problems there.It is a little noisy, but I don't have a comparison to go on to see if this is normal or not so leave that as a neutral point.Why 3 stars then?This thing leaked. A lot. Now I don't have equipment to measure water pressure etc and it did work regardless of these leaks but I felt to get a better performing sprinkler I used PTFE plumbing tape on all the connectors and the internal valve as well, giving the rubber seals a real good seal.This has made the unit 'more' leak free, not completely leak free and I do get a better pressure and mist as a result, but really after paying what I did for this, I don't expect to be doing DIY on it to make it better even though it was genuinely only 5 minutes of my time.

It's an industrial looking thing with all metal parts therefore I expect this will last a long time, much longer than the numerous plastic varieties I've used ... but only time will tell.The instructions are limited, so it's a "try it and see what happens approach" that you need to take. Once on, its simple to see which bits you adjust to change the arc and spray (from jet to finer mist). It can go 360 degrees or any set range of degrees which is useful. I fail to see how 700m2 would be achievable, but I didn't need that. On jet it reaches farthest which I would guess is about 8 metres radius, so 16m diameter. If you adjust to a spray (which you can adjust by the screw so any level of adjustment is possible) then the distance drops considerably to maybe 3m radius, 6m diameter on the finest option.Why isn't it perfect, well, as someone else said, it leaks and I need to put some ptfe tape on the screw cap which is what you'd use if you were daisy-chaining them. If you're not (like me) then the plastic cap doesn't sit perfectly on the metal threads so it leaks. This is easily rectified by a coupe of wraps of ptfe tape so no problem. There are also a few small leaks from the unit which means the area that it stands in does get wetter than other areas.Overall, I'm happy with it. It looks strong, feels well made, does what I need it to and the price seemed fair compared to others ... and of course delivered within 24 hours :)

Excellent product. Metal components and adjustable to spray in a continuous arc from about 30deg to 360deg, and with a variable spray pattern. Easy to adjust and no hassle to set up. One or two reviews suggest this is leaky or difficult to use but I had neither experience. It worked straight out of the packet and reached around 11 metres in radius which was much better than most sprinklers I have tried. Unlike the usual rotary devices this pulses and makes use of the water pressure to drive the spray where further than you expect.

Easy set up. Solid build. Puts out loads of water evenly. New seed up in 4 days and growing fast with the help of this.

Initially on purchase, I thought wow - this looks like it would do the job, however over time, my confidence in it has become completely eroded to the point now where I would recommend that you should buy something else, as everything good about it is equalled by something bad.It does hold sturdily in the ground, but now only 9 months after purchase the spike has broke (see pictures from other reviewers) so it now doesn't hold. The water spray covers a solid distance with good water pressure (4-5m), but the spray patten is uneven, so some areas of the lawn were swimming in water, whilst others are dry. The head is adjustable for it's rotation, however it doesn't always return to the start. I found this was normally caused by it not being level, or by the end 'pins' being at the wrong end.Without the spike breaking, it would be fair to give this product a 2-3 star review, however as it hasn't even lasted a full season, I can't honestly give it anything but 1 star.

Excellent bit of kit. I have a 12m circular lawn which has just been prepared for re turfing. After digging the soil I dug out my 2 old hoselock sprinklers which had not been used for years. It was such a faf to get them covering the right area and having to move them to stop overlapping spray areas or pooling of water that I decide to look for alternatives and found this one. It seems well made, reasonably robust and simple to operate and adjust after only a few minutes of tweaking. It has been in use for several hours at a time over the last few days after the new turf was laid and all I need do is turn the tap on or off. Brill.
