OK, I understand. I hope they are the same as "impact" because that is
my impression. I must confess to feeling intimidated by that type: the
adjustments look so difficult. On most other types, you get regular
knobs and sliders. That's what I liked about Gardena's impulse model:
the salesperson said adjustments are easier.

The impulse sprinkler adjustments might look difficult but I found no
model "difficult" to adjust. The impulse ("Rainbird") types don't
work well at low pressure, but otherwise I think they are the best.
