Racking Cane
The rigid clear tube that pairs with your auto-siphon — and your backup when the siphon dies.
≈ $7–$8price range
An auto-siphon contains a racking cane inside it. But a standalone cane is useful when you want to siphon by mouth (don't), when the auto-siphon's pump finally gives up (it will), or when you're racking from a smaller container.
Cheap, clear, easy to clean. Worth having a spare.
