I'm not much help here. I've tried them all it seems. Of the wands I only tried a cheap one that was quickly discarded. I have my own fix but the picture is worth a thousand words best not wasted in typing, you have to "see" it. First one took about a half hour, it was the prototype. Second one didn't take much longer but I had practice and wanted something longer lasting. Heavy-Duty real rubber hose attached to my regular garden hose, coat hanger, and a variable adjust spray head. Plenty of gaskets and no leaks, soaked clothes.
I wish someone in China would hire a real engineer to construct a good (plastic) watering can. How hard can it be? Seems most, if filled to capacity, want to water from the fill hole. Nice that the plastic heads unscrew for cleaning, it would be nicer yet if they incorporated an O-ring to stop that annoying dribble. I haven't found a good can in years.
For your amusement: A few years back I found some annuals potted in old-fashioned style watering cans. Plants were in plastic pots and I thought "what a deal" as they were clearance priced, $10 each! And I'm thinking I just bought old-school 2 watering cans and annuals for $20. Woo-hoo! When the paint and blooms had faded I was as happy as could be with my new watering cans. Nope they had been drilled. Easy fix, I plugged the holes and loaded one up with Miracle Grow and started watering. shape and size, balance all good. And the sprinkler head fell off. Pressure fit, no threads. Decorative use only. LOL! The huge fill holes to accommodate the plastic pots should have been a dead giveaway
Both need a re-paint but they were/will be nice planters again. Curious to see what watering cans get the A+, I'll buy one. When I get to baskets I'll dig out my improvised "wand" and post pics.
