^^^ I know!! It is so nice to have a needed tool on hand. I have seen so many gadgets over the years that I thought "gee, that would be great to have on hand for ____," but I have avoided buying 99.9% of them because I knew I would use them pretty infrequently, and perhaps more importantly, I simply do not have enough room to store stuff.

I have no experience with the Haws brand, but the larger can is something I wanted to spoil myself with one day. If it comes back into stock by March, I will probably order it. Funnily enough, I have developed a fondness for watering cans and hand tools. I purchased my first DeWit hand trowel a few years ago and loved it so much that I purchased several more of their tools. Now, I find myself on the lookout for new DeWit tools and watering cans. I am told Haws is very, very collectible.

Some of the watering cans I see are just so cute that they make you want to purchase them just for their looks, e.g. there is a little elephant can that stole my heart a couple of years ago. I still have not purchased one but for one reason only. They redesigned him a little bit and now the hole on his head is too far forward, and many reviewers say the water spills out over his head as much as from his trunk. I have adored elephants since I was a tiny child, so I may end up purchasing one just for decor because he is just too cute.

Anyway, I do plan to buy a Haws....and, for anyone looking for hand tools, I highly recommend DeWit. I purchased all of my DeWit tools on Amazon, but I am sure they must be available on other sites, too.

As something of an aside, I started looking for reviews of and how-to's on YouTube on anything I may potentially buy. I am amazed at how much there is there! Bless all of those folks who take the time to unbox, build, compare, and review products. They have helped me so much.
