Great way to sharpen "disposable" hand saws
1 of 1 found this helpful This file is for sharpening induction hardened teeth on japanese tooth pattern crosscut saws. The kind you buy at the modern big-box stores. Almost no one sharpens those, most people throw them away when they get dull. But it's fairly easy to sharpen them with the correct file and a saw sharpening vise. This file has two sides toothed and one side left flat or "safe." You put the included flat metal guide in the gullet between teeth. Then you place the flat side of the file against the guide and one of the toothed faces of the file on the back of the adjacent tooth. One or two strokes will be sufficient for each tooth, leaving a shiny and slightly larger tertiary bevel.

Good watering can for the price
3 of 3 found this helpful For less than $50, I highly recommend this watering can.
It's not a Haws, but for the price of a Haws you could buy two of these; one for the front yard and one for the back yard. And still have beer money left over.
It does not hold 3.2 gallons, even though the manufacturer's sticker says so. It will hold 2.5 gallons usefully and about 2.75 gallons full to the brim.
(I don't know why the manufacturer would claim 3.2 gallons. It only takes a few minutes with an empty milk jug to prove that isn't correct.)
I measured the metal thickness with a micrometer to be about 0.015" on the top and about 0.013" on the side. Which translates to probably 28 or 30 gauge sheet metal, pretty much the thinnest commercially available. It is galvanized, but not that thick coating you see on some hot dip galvanized things. Not shiny electro-plate galvanized either, but like they hot dipped it and then blew most of the excess zinc off with air knives or something. We'll see how long it lasts. The crimped seams (and the rivets) are sealed on the inside with some kind of liquid sealant. We'll see how long that lasts too.
The spout is soldered onto the can with normal lead/tin solder. The crimped seam on the spout is soldered too, and that's the only leak on mine. At one place along the seam there's a crack in the solder, but it's a very small drip and doesn't bother me. If it gets worse or I get bored I'll break out the soldering iron and re-flow that solder. That's one benefit of a galvanized metal can, if it breaks it is fixable, at least in some cases.
The sprinkler head is screwed into a threaded ring soldered into the end of the spout. Thread might be metric M20x1.5. I count 58 holes approximately 5/64" diameter. I'm happy with the spray pattern, but if you want a different "rose" you could probably get one of those rubber ones that slip over the end. The end of the spout on this can is about 1" diameter. I measure 1.04" max at the solder bump where the thread ring is soldered in.

Simple and long lasting
