I've had this for at least 10 years now. Still easy to sanitize and has multiple uses. I've also used it by removing the tip and putting a clip on the hose as a bottle filler in a pinch.

I used this cane to make a beer gun. It worked great but later opted for the blichmann beer gun. Now that's a winner!

I've used a plastic one for more than ten years and there is not a single scratch on it. This is not just an opinion but fact. Besides with a stainless cane how can you see if it is clean on the inside?
