Product Information

Our Boston shakers, strainers, and spoons are produced by a company in the mid-West with 60+ years of experience forming stainless steel parts. The springs for our Hawthorne strainers come from a manufacturer in Pennsylvania that is second-generation family-owned. Finally, all our engraving is done by hand from a company in Missouri.

Freedom. All our tools are made from Freedom.

Okay, but really, they're made out of nearly rust proof #304 Stainless Steel. It's food safe, durable as hell, and has a matte finish that will stand the test of time. 

They're coming! We're working daily with our engineers and steel shop to get them into production. If there's something in particular that you'd like to see, please let us know.

Shoot us an email any time at support@cdtoolsusa.com 

You shaker is made of #304 stainless steel, which - with the right care - will never rust due to a process called passivation, which also ensures your shakers are food-safe.

To clean, it's simple; use lukewarm water, soap, and a sponge or cloth (but never a steel pad). Scrub, and dry it off. Don't want to wash it by hand? Our shakers are dishwasher safe.

Had a rough night of cocktails and left your shaker out with gross, hard-to-clean, sticky residue?? No worries. Just soak it in warm water for 3-5 minutes, then wash it off. We don't recommend soaking the shaker for long periods of time. 

"Oh no, I think I see some rust!" Don't worry, purchase a carton of Barkeeper's Friend , follow the instructions on the back, and your shaker will be good as new! (Also works on any cool stainless steel appliances in your home).

Miscellaneous

In the early 2000's, a country (who shall not be named) sent thousands of sheets of lead-contaminated drywall that ended up in American homes and made people sick. This same country is now producing damn near 99.9% of the barware that you see in homes and bars. We think this is a problem.

So why C&D?

The materials for our tools are sourced in the United States and then sent to American manufacturers to be made into the tools you can purchase on our website. Our partners in this endeavor are steel shops with over 40 years of experience whose care, attention to detail, and commitment to quality ensure that our products are not only safe, but built to last a life time.
