Very Dissatisfied and Disappointed – Just recently moved to a large property so bought the travelling sprinkler tractor. First time I used it, worked fantastic. BUT that was the first… Read more

and only time it worked. Second time I set it up and left it to find hrs later it moved less than 100mm and the head was turning so slowly. Had plenty of pressure and was no blockages. I disconnected the hose to find that the head was hard to turn as if something was binding it up. I have not been able to use the sprinkler since so $136 for one watering. All my hoses, connectors, nozzles and small sprinklers are Holman so this has been quite disappointing. Worst part is I cannot find my receipt so stuck with a lemon.

applications. The spray pattern adjusts from a jet stream to wash down floors or blast away dirt to a cone spray suitable for garden watering. Featuring a machined non slip grip, it’s easy to handle and adjust, especially in wet environments.

The tough adjustable nozzle design is machined from solid brass and is virtually unbreakable.

It’s ideal for the home gardener, handyman, to commercial or landscape applications. Twist the nozzle to stop the water flow. This is a great water saving feature! It also prevents constantly going back to turn off the tap. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This sounds nice in relation to buying brass tap / hoseware, which should by all means, last almost forever.

BUT in the reasonable use of the hose with it's hose fittings, hoses frequently fall off the things they are hung over, or laid upon, AND they land upon concrete paths and drive ways.

AND a solid (all components) brass nozzle would and should be very durable and long lasting.

BUT the internal core of the nozzle is made from PLASTIC, and this plastic fractures and breaks when the hose gets dropped or falls off a higher surface onto the concrete.

When the internal plastic core, fractures, then the nozzle begins to weep and leak water.

This is bad, when the nozzles are used for fire fighting purposes, in smaller areas containing combustible materials such as wood and fabrics, and the silent, weeping water leaks, cause mold damage etc.

Holman have made false claims about the material used in the product and hence, the durability of the product.

Their customer service and technical support is appalling,

I do not like false claims, inferior products (brittle plastic) selling for premium prices (brassware), and I no longer trust Holman Industries.
