When transferring from Primary into Secondary (fermentation) its much easier to just use the spigot and the transfer tube that came with your kit. Since your transferring everything including the yeast it only takes about 5 min and your done.
Further rackings you will always be trying to leave stuff behind (lees, sediment, etc) so you will want a racking cane for sure after that.
God job!
