Every question, answered.

That's exactly the surface it's built for. Hard, flat ground is where the wide base and the fin grip do their best work — it holds steady on the bench, the outfeed table, or cast iron at least as well as it does anywhere else, no magnet or clamp required. Bump it and it settles back instead of walking toward the edge.

That's not a claim this makes — it resists tipping and holds the drink steady, which is the part it's built for. It's not a sealed cup, so if the paste wax has to stay perfect, pair it with a lidded bottle on the saw; everywhere else in the shop, an open cup or can is exactly what it holds.

Measure the bottom, not the rim. A base 2 to 3 inches across settles in — the 40 oz Stanley does. A handled coffee mug doesn't; the handle lands where a fin needs to grip.

No. Nothing clamps, bolts, or sticks to anything. It sits on top of whatever's flat and closest, and it moves with the project — the bench today, the outfeed table tomorrow.

That's the everyday case it's built around. The base flexes and resettles the drink when a machine shakes the stand under it — it resists tipping, not a direct hard hit, but the steady vibration of shop machines is exactly what it shrugs off.

No — it's not a lid, so the shop's oldest joke still applies: dust that's airborne will still find an open cup over a long sanding session, dust collector running or not. What this stops is the spill, not the dust. If dust in the cup is the real dealbreaker, pair it with an insulated travel bottle.

Yes — that's the point. It's one piece with nothing bolted to a single spot, so it rides the bench during the build and the outfeed table during the glue-up, and stows flat on a shelf when the project's done.

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

It's called the Steadi, molded in small runs in Orange, California by Steadi Labs — and every order ships free from steadilabs.com, with 30 days to send it back if it doesn't earn a spot in the shop.

About 2.6 inches — that's the industry-standard body diameter for a 12 oz aluminum can (soda, seltzer, most domestic beer), per can-manufacturer specs. It sits comfortably inside the 2 to 3 inch range, with room to spare.

It fits. Both the 20 oz and 30 oz Yeti Rambler tumblers have a documented base of 2.75 inches — inside the range with margin. Like any tapered tumbler, measure where it actually touches the table, not the wider rim near the top.

No — the grip comes from the fins flexing around a container's bottom inch, not from tack or suction, so a dusting of shavings doesn't change how it holds. Rinse it or run it through the dishwasher when it's visibly caked, the same as any bench tool.

Yes. It holds a lidded tumbler or thermos exactly the way it holds an open can or cup, since the grip is on the base, not the top. It doesn't override shop policy, but it gives a covered container somewhere assigned to stand instead of a shelf across the room.

Yes — there's nothing that ties it to one location. Some shops keep one at the bench, one on the table saw's outfeed side, and one on a rolling cart, rather than moving a single unit around all day.

It's a fair one — it works on any bench, needs no assembly or mounting, and fits the coffee, water bottle, or 40 oz tumbler most people already bring out to the shop. It ships free from Orange, California, with 30 days to send it back if it doesn't earn a spot.

Those mount with magnets, so they only work on bare ferrous steel — not a wooden bench, not aluminum. This has no mount at all; it sits on whatever's flat, wood or metal, and its flexible fins adjust to the container instead of holding one fixed ring size.

Four: Cast Iron, Redwood, Blueprint, and Sawdust — named for what's already in a shop, not repainted for the shelf. Cast Iron, the darkest of the four, shows a settled film of dust less than the lighter Sawdust does; neither is a substitute for rinsing it off.

No. The grip is on the outside of the container's base, so what's inside doesn't change how it holds — the same base handles the morning thermos and the end-of-day can the same way.
