Get what you pay for I guess.

Had this same issue. I believe I had the spring installed incorrectly and then the auto feed started working correctly.

I can relate. I’ve been the tantrum guy while trying to fix sprinklers before.

I use Yard Guy brand. It works great with the manual labor attachment.

sounds like user error to me. Ryobi's been fine for me. I have several different yard tools, drill, sawzall, etc
