I too had almost never used it, but rather a much smaller indoor model. They call that kind of spout a "rose", btw.

Searched everywhere and almost went online to try to buy another, but couldn't find one similar that wasn't really costly. Low and behold it showed up among some storage items. I've used it to start a patch of grass I'm desperate to reseed and all my outdoor potted plants. I can get nearly two gallons in it and it is so well balanced, it feels almost weightless. I love it.

Here's a pic of one similar to mine. Yup, I love it.
