Far too good to leave him outside in winter

We had a variety of Gardena products (which we have just annoyed, given the price-performance ratio) and a Metabo-bar having our plant is preparing two years of enjoyment.
Unfortunately, I left the Metabo rod through the winter outdoors ....
I understand when people get angry in other reviews about the fact that the force of freezing water their Gießstäbe destroyed - but that's probably nunmal so:
Gießstäbe are not made for the winter and ice pushes everything apart ... - and I'm probably to blame for the cracked product.

But now to the new lance:
Great, great, great !!!!
When I unpacked the bar, once the whole family laughed when I pulled it apart. Then it becomes a wirlich long part. But at least the casting of the pots on the wall that you can irrigate quite unerringly by joint, no one laughed.
Likewise, the various spray patterns are perfectly adequate and really very precisely adjusted.
The same applies to the setting of the water quantity or the Strahhärte: absolutely exemplary adjustable!

Which brings me to deduct a star since then?
The weight of the bar is pretty high (especially if you have to use it more hard to reach places). Not even so much for me, but more for the kids and my wife. Of course the greater weight of the extremely robust construction is due to metal in gegebnsatz to the usual plastic stuff. This is already clear!
But that does not alter the fact even now that the bar is a little heavier than other comparable.

This lance is that I may still, by far the best I've had so far, I'd buy it immediately and - in spite of the weight - to another family member, as well as three friends will make this rod after him in our were allowed to try out the garden.
I think that speaks for itself.
Oh yes, he is actually much, much too good to let him in ice and snow outside! ;-))
