The brass version for $35 is super slick. I bought one for $50 in early 2022. Steady use every year and stays outside year-round. Still going strong.
Never any issue with it getting caught up and not switching direction? Some how the one I have the spring is too strong and will get caught spraying the same spot for 20 min

I own this and don't have this issue. If you have low water pressure or are using a small/restrictive hose I could see potentially facing the issue you describe. Water pressure at the speinkler has to exceed the spring tension, as is the case with all sprinklers like this when set up to water only a partial range of rotation.
These are not durable. I bought the brass version and one of the rivets on the side of leg popped out. Amazon took the return but I was very disappointed as it was a great sprinkler otherwise.
I've had mine for about a year and a half. It always leaked at the connection to the house. We have decent pressure, based on other sprinklers, and this was definitely a low performer.
And then this year when I went to use it the first time it did absolutely nothing. Water just sprays out from a bunch of places I don't think it's supposed to come out from (stored in the garage all winter). So I'd say that it's not especially durable.
Right now, we're getting better results using a ten year old plastic sprinkler we got on clearance at Walmart for less than $5 than we did with this even when it was working.

Very low water pressure will not trigger the side-to-side motion.
For the link, they look the same, but it doesn't appear to be Orbit brand. They could be the same product from the same factory, but I wouldn't personally wager on it.

This happens if I have the water pressure set very very low, but otherwise I've not had issues.
What you're describing has happened to me with a few cheaper zinc impact sprinklers that stick into the ground with spikes (like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RCTX3A) but never with the brass model.

Also, are these the same thing in a 2 pack? Seems like it saves money if you want the brass and need 2.
