In-Depth Review
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Since 1886, Haws has been producing the 'Rolls Royce' of watering cans in Smethwick, West Midlands. The Heritage model is a testament to the idea that a well-made tool should last a lifetime. In an era of planned obsolescence and cheap injection-molded plastics, Haws utilizes high-grade recyclable plastics and metals to create products that are passed down through generations.
The 'Fine Spray' Engineering
The hallmark of a Haws can is its 'rose' (the perforated nozzle). Each rose is engineered to provide a gentle, uniform spray that mimics a soft rain shower, preventing the soil erosion and seedling damage caused by the heavy stream of standard watering cans. This precision allows for better water management and healthier plant root systems.
- Handcrafted in the United Kingdom.
- Removable brass-faced rose for versatile watering.
- Made from high-grade, recyclable materials.
- Ergonomic design for perfect balance.
