This time is the best one that I have found. I am not sure if they have quit making though. It is very hard to find. All the new timers are either "windup" or electronic. I need longer than 2 hrs when I water. This one does the job. I have about 6 of them.

This worked about 15 times, now it leaks and only shuts off 50% of the time. Look for something else.

Purchased this timer two years ago and have used it for one and a half seasons. When it works, it's fine, but about 40% of the time it doesn't shut off. That's sort of the whole point of a mechanical timer; so, I'm now shopping Amazon for a new timer.

Setting the minutes exactly is a little difficult without craning, but this one does what it's supposed to. I particularly like the fact that the automatic shutoff is gradual: Sudden shutoffs cause a jolt to the pipes that can be damaging. The question that remains: Is the female plug strong enough to last through a summer of pulling hoses?

This water meter is awful. It lasted about 5 hours before it started leaking and making a funny noise.

I wanted a timer for the lawn sprinkler and was in the process of ordering a new Gilmour sprinkler to replace the one I've had now for several seasons (it met with an untimely end due to a backing vehicle...)-anyway, I found that Gilmour also made timers so I ordered both. I've used Gilmour exclusively for years-best lawn stuff on the market, as far as I'm concerned, and a great company to deal with if there's any type of problem! I've also used Amazon for many years, for more than just books-they usually have what I,m looking for and at a great price! I highly recommend both Amazon.com and Gilmour.

I have been using this time by Gilmour for a few weeks and have had no problems. Gilmour makes a good product.
