They make them with built in spout. Same idea just has a spout. The 5gal one I got has a steel hose on it. The two little ones I have were kinda a impulse buy when the stupid twist, pull and pat your head spout on my old plastic one was pissing me off So I threw it in the bonfire and got those 2 little ones the next day. Then I researched more and realized you can get them with the spout and got that kind for my tractor can 5gal.
