Every question, answered.

That's exactly the surface it's built for. Hard, textured, and vibrating isn't a downgrade from anything softer — the wide base and flexible fins grip ribbed liners and diamond plate the same way, and settle a bumped drink back into place instead of letting it walk further toward the edge.

Vibration is the whole design problem it answers. The fins hold the drink by its bottom inch, so a circular saw walking the sheet doesn't walk the cup off it — it holds steady through the cut, not just between them.

It's one piece of solid material with no seams or hinges for dust to work into — rinse it off or wipe it down between cuts. It doesn't keep dust off an open lid, but it keeps the cup itself from sliding while the dust settles.

It's the base that matters, not the rim — a bottom 2 to 3 inches across fits, the 40 oz Stanley-style tumbler included. A handled mug doesn't: the handle lands right where a fin needs to close.

Yes — the deck is exactly the kind of hard, moving surface it's built for. A bottle set down loose can still get kicked, but the base resists tipping through the lurch and vibration of the lift running, and settles the drink back level.

No. Nothing clamps, mounts, or depends on a steel surface to magnetize to. It just sits on top of whatever's doing table duty that hour — the tailgate, the horses, the gang box lid — and moves with the crew to the next one.

It's one piece of flexible, molded material with nothing rigid to crack and nothing that comes apart — built for the bumps and drops that are already normal on site.

Rinse it or run it through the dishwasher. It's one solid piece of material with nothing to trap dust or grit.

It's called the Steadi, molded in small runs in Orange, California by Steadi Labs. Every order ships free from steadilabs.com, with free returns for 30 days if it's not earning its spot in the tool bag.

Yes, across the board. A standard 12 oz can runs a 2.6-inch base, the 16 oz energy-drink cans (Monster, Red Bull) share that same 2.6-inch body, and even the narrower 'slim' or 'sleek' 12 oz cans measure about 2.25 to 2.26 inches. Every one of those sits inside the 2-to-3-inch range and settles in fully.

No, and it's an honest no. Those bottles run wide on purpose to hold more water — the Nalgene 32 oz Wide Mouth measures 3.5 inches at the base, the Hydro Flask 32 oz Wide Mouth is 3.58 inches, and the CamelBak Chute Mag 32 oz comes in around 3.31 inches. All three are past the fins' 3.15-inch flex ceiling. A 24 oz bottle in the same style is usually the one that seats.

The 24 oz FreeSip does, at a 3.12-inch base — just inside the 3.15-inch flex ceiling, so it seats snug with a push. The 32 oz FreeSip doesn't; at 3.43 inches it's past what the fins accept.

Yes. The 30 oz Stanley H2.0 FlowState Quencher measures 3.15 inches at the base — right at the top of what the fins flex to accept — so it fits snug. That's alongside the 40 oz Stanley H2.0 FlowState Quencher, at 3.1 inches, which fits with a bit more room.

The PACKOUT cup only exists where the PACKOUT stack lives — locked onto a wall plate or a box lid, so it's useful by the door or on the truck and absent at the cut table or up on the lift, and it means buying into the modular system just to hold a drink. This doesn't lock onto anything; it sits on whatever surface is doing table duty that hour and moves with the crew instead of staying behind with the boxes.

That's not the surface to trust it — or anything else — on. The top cap's molded slots are sized for hardware, not a base, and the ladder itself flexes with every step, which is a stability problem the base underneath a drink doesn't solve. Use it on the tailgate, the cut table, or the gang box lid; skip the ladder.

Worth its own — the same OSHA rule that keeps a shared cup off the jobsite cooler is a good reason to keep a shared one off the tailgate too. It's small enough to ride in a tool bag or a truck door pocket, so outfitting more than one person doesn't mean finding a second spot to mount anything.

It's a small, specific answer to something almost every trade quietly deals with — no batteries, no mounting hardware, nothing to configure to their particular truck or toolbox. It ships free and molded in Orange, California, with 30 days for them to decide it's earning a spot in the truck.
