Product description

Product Packaging:Frustration-Free Packaging

Our Tree Watering Tool delivers water directly to the root zone of trees and shrubs. Saves water by eliminating wasteful runoff or evaporation. Encourages deep root growth. Easily attaches to a water-soluble hose end sprayer for use as a root feeder. Drills its own holes, avoiding digging. Leaves beneficial aeration holes. Dozens of additional uses as a water blaster. Yard Butler guarantees all Yard Butler tools for life against any defects in manufacturing or materials. Several Customer Reviews have noted problems with the tool breaking. This was due to defective metal causing the zinc body to be very brittle. As of November 1, 2015 all units are shipping with a new design that eliminates the problem. We are sorry for the trouble and encourage anyone who has a defective older model to contact us at customercare@lewistools.com.

Works well

July 30, 2016

Package Type: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase

Like many other parts of the country right now, my area is in severe drought and several of my trees and shrubs are feeling the effects. I have drip watering, but this is apparently not enough. The Yard Butler irrigator is helping. The manufacturing issues that led to poor reviews in the past do appear to be fixed - I have had no problems with the irrigator so far. With the water turned on it's easy to push through the soil, though in many places around here I hit rock and have to try again. On the bigger trees I run it for 15 minutes and then move it around the tree. Seems to help.

Unusable.

August 2, 2017

Package Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

On connecting the tool to a garden hose, not a single drop of water came out. I discovered there was no channel for the water to pass through the device. The hose connection tube had been soldered directly onto solid pipe, with no hole permitting the flow of water. As a result, the product is unusable. When I received it, the packaging did not include a rubber washer for the hose connection, which was unusual for a gardening tool. I am surprised that Amazon continues to sell this product, given that others apparently have had the same experience.

Disappointed

February 17, 2013

Package Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Previously I had another product that had holes on the side and it worked better as far as inserting into the ground without clogging goes. From another review here I learned that you should have the water on while inserting, and that does help, but it still clogs occasionally.

My previous one was a brand that has the fertilizing capability (which I never used), and was plastic at the top. The plastic eventually broke, hence my need and desire for a simple replacement. I got the simplicity, but maybe too simple. I'd still prefer having holes on the side as well as the single hole at the bottom, and still might drill my own.

I should note that I live in an area with extremely dense heavy clay that masquerades as soil, which I'm sure doesn't help.

Not perfect, but very durable.

July 13, 2015

Package Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

It's not perfect....others have talked about mods, which I'll probably try. You have to develop a technique to prevent it from getting jammed (even then, keep a length of clothes hanger wire handy to clear jams); buying an inline ball valve to use as a trigger or fertilizer can with a trigger really helps to control the spray as you're drilling into the ground. The main reason I love this thing is because it's proven VERY durable so far. If you drill a lot of holes around your trees, your hands will ACHE the next day from the hammering pressure; next time I will try using a rubber mallet, and I think this thing is durable enough to handle that. Glad I bought it, it's actually fun to use, and it really gets the water down where it needs to be.

Poor quality control at factory?

Package Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Item defective - connection from feed to down pipe not drilled out so no water passes. I am extremely disappointed.

Good quality and works well except for the hose connection

September 21, 2016

Package Type: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase

Without even reading the reviews, I know the problem, and it's that some will come with a faulty hose connection. My first one did. I returned it, and my new one works great. Other than that flaw, it's much better than my previous deep irrigator, plunges into our crappy hardpan without much of a problem. It's sturdy, easy to use. That hose connection is a problem. I hope they can correct to manufacturing to minimize inconvenience of swapping out for a new one.

Top - Of - Line Deep Root Watering Tool

January 17, 2013

Package Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

As dry as it was last summer and fall, I was concerned about my pin oaks and autumn blaze maple trees getting enough water to their root structure. There is no doubt they gained very little height this past year but by using the Yard Butler, they remained healthy.

Another reason that I purchased this tool was to get large dirt piles from some excavated holes in my yard to settle down. My street had a city water main installed in July and several residents opted to disconnect from community wells to the city water main. Quite a bit of excavating was done in each yard to connect to the new water main and disconnect from the wells. I inserted my Yard Butler tree watering tool into each mound of dirt and periodically moved it around the pile. In just one session of a couple of hours, each pile of dirt had resettled into the holes. After several sessions and a period of drying out, I actually had to add some dirt to level the holes back out. My two adjacent neighbors have left Mother Nature to settle their dirt piles and after several months, their dirt piles have settled very little.

Before I purchased the Yard Butler, I looked at most all other brands and models available. I like good quality tools that last and last. There are no plastic parts on this tool. It is very well made and it is very durable. It is definitely a good value and the Yard Butler is the only deep root watering tool to buy. I would recommend this product to my family and friends.

Would I buy one like it again

May 27, 2015

Package Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

First one broke within a day of use, the hose connection broke off. The vendor send me another one with no hassle, hence the 2 stars instead of one. Would I buy one like it again? Probably not. I suspect the hose connection is a weak link.

The hole in the end plugs right away as soon as you push this thing in the ground. As others did I drilled two additional holes in the tip and attached a nail on a string to this thing to keep the holes cleared.

Nice Concept, Poor Quality

Didn't last.

Initially, I thought this was a great product. The tool essentially came apart at the connector end, where the hose attaches. Didn't last a year.

Very good.

Product works as described and is very useful for my needs. Minus one star because rod bent slightly which doesn’t hurt overall functionality but did surprise me.

Makes it work much better. That was a feeder type

As others have said, hole gets clogged, can be cleared with coat hanger wire but the flow of water returns it to the tip. I had a different type that did not have that problem.Read more
