Needs a flow control
With no way of controlling the amount of water coming out of the nozzle, you can not get enough pressure to chain them, which is what they advertised and why I bought it, so whats the point?

High Rating for a low cost lawn sprinkler
I've tried cheap sprinklers, fancy lawn articles and have been disappointed with many. Breakage is common when purchasing items in retail stores. Or they are rediculously expensive.
Until I replace the many lawn heads and broken feed supply lines on my in ground system, I am using the old fashioned type.
I was really pleased with the ease of use, the instructions and the quality of the Melnor 9538 Full or Part Circle Sprinkler with Metal Head.
The Green plastic base looks silly but it very useful.
When a product is good, easy to use, I have no problem giving it a 5 star rating or my time to review it. I have high pressure in my water lines, so chaining two together did not present me with a problem.

Buy two, get free shipping
Really nice item, brass and alloy mechanism, strong plastic base. Stable, easy to use. With super-saver shipping, these are cheaper than you can find locally.

pulsating sprinkler
These are nice because they sit balanced on the ground. Not big and bulky, with a fair price. We had purchased some cheaper sprinklers at a local hardware store, and my husband feels they work just as well as these without shipping and handling and at a lower price. I have used both and i feel that they both do the same job except the base on these melnors 9538 pulsataing sprinklers is a added bonus.

Not bad, but don't chain them
If you're looking for a simple, cheap sprinkler, and you don't want to chain them together, then this one is fine.
Some notes:
1. Coverage is not especially even, unless you use the diffuser to interrupt the stream. It overwaters the outer edge of the path.
2. Using the diffuser decreases the diameter of the coverage by about 50-70%
3. In conditions of low water pressure (for example, when using this on one half of a Y connector, or in a chain with another sprinkler), there is not enough force for the sprinkler head to turn. This results in the sprinkler watering a single spot on the lawn, flooding it, because it's unable to rotate.
All that said, if you just want a simple, cheap sprinkler, it isn't too bad. If you're willing to pay a little more, I suggest a craftsman rotary sprinkler with four nozzles (provides much more even coverage, rotates under low pressure conditions, but does cost about $29).
Hope that helps.
