Did anyone else mistake these for cybernetic moon shoes get excited and spill beer on themselves?


Sprinklers are more useful I guess. =(

You still have to move the sprinkler to mow, plus you get wet when you adjust it.

I'll stick with my Watering Made Easy Sprinkler Station.

I bet chop-sticks would work well!

These are over $10 a piece on Amazon. I have used Nelson sprinklers before and they make good products.

I dunno about that. I did a quick search and found alot of them are made in China.

In for a pair. The series connectors sold me since I need two to cover the whole lawn.

Be sure that your water pressure is good if planning on daisy chaining these together. Each additional sprinkler on the line will have less pressure then the one before it.

Also these Nelson sprinklers with the weighted base will stay in place pretty well. It'll take an epic amount of wind to move them. I'm in Iowa and we just had an epic amount of wind the other day an my sprinklers didn't move.

These MAKE IT RAIN?..
(good flow?)
also.. does this wash cars,dogs,kids,etc?

seems like they'd rust pretty quickly if they are steel.

or cardboard. maybe they're made from cardboard and will dissolve with the water.

or ice. maybe they're made from ice and will melt.

in for 3

Finally an item worth purchasing. been a while

Man that's cheap who ripped off Bumblebee's Keds?

These only do a round pattern. I need something that does other shapes as well.

I was wondering that too. That must be one special kinda lawn.

Don't thank me for using up the water.
Blame Vegas, baby!

Better yet, why don't you gripe at the people with insane daily commutes! They're using up all the gasoline reserves when they could just live closer to work instead!

rain water caught in barrels?

Only schweppes sparkling water of course....But seriously, he probably meant he uses a well or some sort of reclaimed water.

These will be perfect to water my weeds. lol

Just out of curiosity...

If I was to set one up for my brother's kids to run and play in and lets say one of them got sprayed in the eye, would it leave a mark or a bruise for their mother to complain about?


Not like that's ever happened or anything. Just curious.

lol @ the Woots by State map.

gave it a try

They maks your lawn wet if you hook them up properly to a water supply and turn it on.

The kids are playing in the sprinklers. Therefore it's a warm sunny day.
Therefore the sun's UVA and UVB are high.
Therefore the kids should be wearing sunglasses.
Therefore no problem being sprayed in the eye.

L.O.L
You don't want your brother blaming the kids eventual cataracts on you, do you?

We own one of these right now, and it just broke after ummm.... a couple days. Works great, just make sure you take the spikes out before trying to take it out of the ground. -_-

What kind of metal are those spikes made of?

They wore hats-umm-I mean, good point.

Man, I was JUST looking at my lawn this evening thinking "I really should buy some sprinklers for this thing. Naaaaa, I don't wanna drive all the way to the store".

And 'lo, like an answer from the heavens, Woot doth appear with just the quantity and type of sprinkler I was thinking I should go buy.

brieanna wrote:What kind of metal are those spikes made of?

polyglutamate sealed with steel

I've been watching this site for months, there's never anything here, finally something worth buying.

I'm in for 3. Impacts with a base for $3.33 each, now that's actually a deal.

Doctordeal wrote:Anyone know if these are Made in the USA or not?

Nelson is based in Walla Walla, WA. They are big on USA manufacturing... and run a highly automated system to compete with cheap labor.
(I was an engineering student nearby)

can they be made to only spray a specific range - not the entire 360?

looks like a good deal.

i'd be more concerned about a mishap with the spikes.

"Ergonomic adjustment grips on the sprayer head control the distance and spray pattern"

nebermind.
