Default Watering cans from Tesco

Last summer I bought 2 stainless steel watering cans from Tesco.
At the start of the season this year, they were showing signs of rust
and leaking.
Tesco have refused to refund the cost as I do not have the recipt
I am reluctant to take the company to the small claims court because
of the cost,
but all gardeners should be aware of Tesco's attitude
I will probably cut up my Tesco club card and send it to Leahy

Are you sure that they are "stainless steel" and not galvanised because as
far as i was aware s/s does not rust


Depends what grade it is. Some S/S are poorly corrosion-resistant, whereas
those used for culinary or marine purposes are very good. In general, the
old adage "you get what you pay for" applies very well to S/S.
