from 9120 reviews![Gilmour Pattern Master Impulse Sprinkler](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0061/1391/9089/products/gilmour-pattern-master-impulse-sprinkler_70x70.jpg?v=1636699658)
The first time I used it, I turned it on and about 5 minutes later I looked out the window and all I saw was a geyser coming out. The sprinkler hed had unscrewed. (I did not check it before I used it). I put it back in and made sure it was tight and it has been working GREAT ever since. So far I really like it and the birds like it also.

I was looking for something durable, light, and affordable. This ticks all the marks. I use it for tools, not vegetables. But it could be used for anything.

I live in a fairly humid climate. I could never successfully grow zucchini until I found these seeds. The plants seem to not be affected by it. Good germination rate. Happy with purchase.

The Save a Branch supports are wonderful. Our Peach tree is loaded and the branches were bending down quite a bit. Several neighbors lost branches on their trees but ours are supported and doing very well. Great product.

Planted 80 seeds that were 2 years old and had 60-70% germination rate. It was an easy to use product and I had so much left over that I shared it with a friend.
