Why are Gear Driven Pop Up Sprinkler Heads so damn hard to adjust? I have one that you have to rotate 360 degrees while its running and another that you’re supposed to turn a little screw while its spraying water all over and moving. .

Why not just have a little stop that I can set on either side and be done with it! :smack:

Thanks for letting me rant…
