Nice, but measurements aren't right.
1 Star
Nice, but measurements aren't right.
So, I'm not sure what exactly they used to mark out the measurements on these gauges, but they're nowhere near correct. That's too bad as they are nice enough for what they're used for, just completely useless to measure anything. I'll have to redraw the lines.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my 2nd one of these. First one lasted 30 years.

Excellent rain gauge. I’ve been using one of these for thirty years and decided it’s time to replace the original one recently and I was happy to see they still make this one. The old one finally became somewhat more difficult to read with 30 years of yard grime, pollen etc starting to wear on the numbers so I broke down and bought a new one here for about 75 cents more than I gave for the original one back when I could twist and turn in every direction and run like a deer three decades ago. Not a bad investment I’d say. I had a shiny new hip installed last winter and the original one only lasted twice as long as this original rain gauge. The doc promised the new $50k hip would last about 20 years. I wish I’d thought to ask why he cant put one in made of whatever these gauges are made of that last 30 years.
I figure the doc will be needing a new yacht in about 20 years and counts on me pitching in again to help him pay for it.
The trick to getting one of these gauges to last that long is to take it out of service the same day I remove garden hoses from water spigots before the first freeze hits us usually in mid November here in Kentucky. If anyone wants a well used one for, say, 75 cents, I know where you can find one. (Amazon: that’s a joke, I’m not on your site to sell. I’ll keep shoveling cash your way, you keep sending me cool stuff I can’t find anywhere else.) I’d offer a deal on a used hip but ‘ole doc wouldn’t let me keep it.
These are the best rain gauges at any price if you want simplicity and accuracy. That comes from thirty years of field testing in my back yard. Just don’t let them freeze, they’ll crack just like every other rain gauge on the market.

Excellent. The small unit with pointed end is intended to stick into the grass, then measure how much water the sprinkler sprinkled. == The larger unit has lip hanging down from the top with a cut-away part. That is intended for the user to drive a nail into a fence post, then hang that unit. That must hang at the top of a fence so driving ran from any direction will enter the top. That is a good trick. == The small unit, I stick into the ground and insert the larger unit. It can easily be moved when mowing. == The quality is much stronger than my earlier units from a differnt maker. == However, beware of snow or rain that freezes, swells, and burst the plastic. .

3.0 out of 5 stars You Get What You Pay For
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2019
Verified Purchase
This rain gauge proves the old axion "you get what you pay for." The gauge has two parts: the long part measures rain and the short part (with spike) measures water output from a sprinkler. If you are not planning to mount the gauge and want to stick it the ground, the short part obscures the 1" and 2" numbers on the long part; making it hard to read the gauge if it is not close by. My gauge cracked but in all fairness I left it outside during the winter. If you live in a warm part of the country and you mount the gauge and not stick it in the ground, then this is a good gauge to get for the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worked well -- for a while -- but manufacturer replaced leaking unit
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2017
Verified Purchase
Worked well for what I needed for about eight months, then the larger gauge developed a seam leak. I was wondering why the gauge seemed to measure much less rain than I thought had fallen. The seam leak is not visible to the eye, but when filled with water you can see it dripping from a side seam near the bottom.

UPDATE 2017-07-05

The day after I wrote the above review the manufacturer contacted me. As my purchase date was just barely within the one year warranty, they sent me a new one. Maybe this one will last more than a year.

Forgot to mention, I would NOT leave these out in the winter. If the gauge fills with water and then it freezes, that could split the sides. Mine were in the garage but I've had this happen to other plastic items left outside.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use.
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2019

Old version did not have marking on portion labeled as watering or sprinkling gauge. The double marking, on both lower section and upper section, makes it more difficult to read from a short distance. Ours is mounted on a wooden post that sits in the garden and although I may not be able to read exact amount, I can easily make a reasonably accurate estimate from a distance. That said, this is still my favorite rain gauge of all I have had through the years.

We bought two of these after installing new sod. I did a lot of research after continuing to read how flimsy so many of these were and landed on this one. I am very happy! The container lifts out of the stake so you can easily read the measurement and it has held up easily to me moving them around almost daily. The dogs have even hit them a few times and we don't have any cracks or damage. Worth the money as they seem to last.

I thought I broke the first one, but with my second one see they both leaked from the seams. Not damaged just not made right. I don't know how the seams are so weak that water eats through it. It doesn't hold water! Go to the Dollar Tree and they are cheaper and last longer.
