Okay, so I’ve been needing a new watering can for a while now. My old plastic one finally cracked after years of use. I wanted something that would last, you know? Something sturdy and reliable.
I started looking around, checking out the usual big-box stores. They all had the same cheap plastic watering cans. I wanted something better, something that would stand up to my clumsy self and the hot summer.

Then I got the idea: “What about a metal watering can?” I did a quick search online and saw a few options, but most of them were made overseas. I’ve been trying to buy more American-made products lately, so I decided to dig a little deeper and find a watering can made right here in the USA. It was surprisingly tough. Not many companies make them here anymore.
After some more searching, I finally found a few companies that still make watering cans in the States. I looked at their websites and compared prices, sizes, and styles. I wanted one that was about 1.75 gallons, big enough for my outdoor plants, but not too heavy to carry around. And I definitely wanted a long, thin spout to make watering my hanging plants easier.
- I looked at a few different brands, reading reviews and comparing features.
- I narrowed it down to two companies that seemed to make quality products.
- I ordered one that looked well-made and had good reviews online.
Made in the USA
The watering can arrived a few days later, and I was really impressed. It was solid, made of galvanized steel, and had a nice, long spout. It felt good in my hand, not flimsy like my old plastic one. It’s been a few weeks now, and I’ve been using it every day. It’s so much easier to water my plants with the long spout. I can reach the ones hanging up high without spilling water everywhere. I’m confident this watering can is going to last me a very long time. It’s worth every penny I paid for it. Plus, I feel good about supporting an American company. It’s a win-win!
