I have unsuccessfully been looking for a good water wand as I water 400 + pots a day. For years I have tried to use the Orbit wand that is sold out out of Orbit irrigations, in Salt Lake City. I buy it at Lowe's. They have a 6 yr. warranty. I am lucky if I get 6 mo. before they start leaking and then fall apart. The company has replaced a few for me but it got to the point where they were not believing they were falling apart. I asked if I could send a photo, and I did. I received no feed back from them about the photo evidence of the poor quality. They are poorly constructed of very thin metal. I was told it was zinc but I cannot verify that. Any ways I tried and tried to get a response to the poor quality and they just ignored me. Unfortunately that was the only wand I could find here. I just recently found one made by Melnor, called Gentle Rain. I have not tried it yet. It has several settings which I do not need. The Orbit one had the one setting. I have attached a photo showing exactly where every one of these start leaking then break completely in half.
