- Large lawns
- Circular coverage
- Windy sites
- Durability
The best-selling brass impact head for medium-to-large lawns. All-metal construction throws water 20-41 ft in a full or part circle, holds up in wind, and adjusts to water right up to an edge without wasting it on the driveway. Remember to budget for a spike or tripod, since the head is sold on its own.
Pros
- Brass and bronze internals resist wear and cut through wind far better than a plastic oscillator
- Long 20-41 ft throw and 50 ft spacing cover big open lawns with fewer moves
- Part-circle setting waters right up to a fence or driveway without soaking the pavement
Cons
- Ships as a head only, so you must add a spike, tripod or riser to actually use it
- The pulsing arm is louder and can leave a slightly less even pattern than an oscillating sprinkler on a small square lawn
- Needs decent water pressure to reach its full radius; low-pressure supplies fall short

Frequently Asked Questions
- How far will the 25PJDAC throw?
- A 20-41 ft radius with spacing up to about 50 ft, provided your supply pressure is adequate. Low-pressure supplies fall short of the full radius, which is the usual reason one underperforms on paper specs.
- Can you stop it watering the driveway?
- Yes — the arc is infinitely adjustable from 20 to 360 degrees, so you can water right up to a fence or driveway edge without soaking the pavement.
- Why brass instead of plastic?
- Brass and bronze internals resist wear and cut through wind far better than a plastic oscillator. The trade-offs are noise from the pulsing arm and a slightly less even pattern on a small square lawn. Note it ships as a head only — you add a spike, tripod or riser.
