Beat the $10 Increase on Popular Dig Battery-Powered Timers
Old price honored through March 31-We stocked up so you can, too!
 We brought in these Dig timers 10 years ago to replace the orange Gardena timer and have not had a price increase since then. Materials, exchange rates, and shipping costs have been creeping up over the last decade. Even with this price increase, it will still cost less than the Gardena timer did when it was discontinued back in 1999!
These reliable, easy-to-program timers have a 3-year warranty, and usually last much longer.
If you don't need any right now, remember to factor these higher prices into your upcoming bids. The digital version (DI900) will go from $49.95 up to $59.95 list. The analog version (DIEZ) will go from $44.95 up to $57.43.
