Boston Shaker reviews
Jeff Smith : "I bought the first shaker as a gift for someone else. I was so overcome with jealousy I bought the whole set for myself!"
Donald Oldaker : "I bought my first of these (no. 103) during Covid. The owner of the company called to ask how I liked it about 3 weeks later. I keep 4 in my personal bar at home. I’ve given 3 as gifts to special people. If you look for quality, longevity and just heads and shoulders above everything else subtle style, these products are it."
Bill G : "Somehow I came across this and man I am blown away by the quality. SOLID, Heavy in the right way and a precision made piece of bar equipment. I will use this lovingly for the rest of my life. No cheap Chinese or Indian crap for me. Hell, If I don't will it to someone, I'll be buried with it!!"
David C : "The weight feels nice. The machining and finishing is impeccable. Easy to clean. They don't tip easily. Seat well, seal well, and easy to break the seal after the shake."
Andrea : "I was looking for a shaker made in the USA. This was out of stock for months but well worth the wait. It's heavier than the cheap shakers and fits together perfectly."
Bob : "From the first moment you see the quality packaging and care to prepare the shipment, everything screams Quality! The weight of the shaker brings confidence in preparing beverages. Rebecca’s reply was fast, friendly and very helpful. I’d highly recommend buying this shaker."
Natalie : "I was skeptical of the price point but once you receive it and feel it in your hand, you immediately can tell it is worth every penny. I can't use the cheap shakers I have anymore! This is the centerpiece of my home bar. Would recommend to a friend!"
Austin : "After receiving the shaker and putting it to use for the first time, all I can say is 'Wow!' The quality of the build is impeccable. I’ve used cheap cocktail shakers my entire life. I didn’t think it was possible to use something this well-built and durable in my home."
Sam: "If I could give it 10 stars I would. It's super easy to use, seals well and easy to open, and feels excellent in your hands. After making a single cocktail with this shaker, I tossed out my old shaker that I've been using for years. Excellent work C&D Tools."
Gene : "Precision made, not leakage, easy to separate. I have purchased 2 shakers so far (1 for me and 1 for son). Highly recommended."
Alex : "Since buying this in 2021, have been checking out shakers at bars, and nothing comes close. It was out-of-stock when I had to give a barware gift recently, so glad there’s been another batch made and this model is back!"
Scott : "Wanted a shaker made in the US, but I was hesitant because the price was so much more than most shakers out there. Shaker is well built and sturdy and will outlive me."
Mike : "I have been looking for a Made in USA shaker set for some time and came across C&D. I waited months for it to be available. When I received it I was amazed at how solid it was and said it was worth the wait. Makes for an amazing gift."
Jigger Reviews
Toby H : "It's a beautiful piece of machining and finishing. One major drawback for me: missing a 0.75oz mark hurts :( were that there, it would be the last jigger I ever purchase."
JamesW : "The Jigger is my fourth purchase in my C&D home bar (shaker, strainer, and stirring spoon). All of the items are lovely to look at, perfect for their respective functions, and built for many lifetimes."
Hathorne Strainer Reviews
Kevin Beam : "It is exquisitely crafted, and its somewhat unique design allows for simultaneous equal pours into two glasses. Guests are impressed! More importantly, C&D TOOLS is a responsive, customer-focused company."
Sam : "Firstly is beautiful, the pictures don't quite do it justice. It's thicker and heavier/most robust than other strainers. It's easy to use and care for. But my favorite part, is easy to find! Amongst a crowded bar top of bottles, stirs, bitters, syrups etc."
Zac : "It has a great weight to it and matches my Boston shaker beautifully."
Our Red Oak Muddler reviews
the newest edition to our barware set
Robert Polett: "Fantastic muddler! Beautifully made, heavy duty …what I’ve grown to expect from C&D. Looking forward to whatever the next product release is!"
Jason: "Fantastic product. Feels great in the hand. Citrus in our house doesn’t stand a chance! Definitely recommend."
Reviews about our quality barware set
Rich Wenzel : "The old adage is absolutely correct. It may be more expensive than most, but it will last significantly longer and provide far more utility and enjoyment. Don't settle for cheap imported alternatives. Buy American."
Neil Harrison : "Jigger, Strainer, Boston Shaker, and Spoon - All are perfect and well worth the money!"
Mike : "I have been looking for a Made in USA shaker set for some time and came across C&D. I waited months for it to be available. When I received it I was amazed at how solid it was and said it was worth the wait. Makes for an amazing gift."
