I filled this, shook it, then tried to open it. I the proceeded to slice the hell out of my hand. Let's list a couple of things that don't belong together shall we? 1) base that is poorly fitted to its lid and 2) a paper thin metal lid. It sticks, then you slice yourself. It has a really bad design. I cut myself (really it did) at the base of my thumb, which is a really fun place to get cut.

I was not drinking at the time of this incident. This was my first attempt at using it.

The worst thing about this is that alcohol inhibits blood clotting. so to make the bad situation worse, you are faced with a decision. Be smart and don't drink and let the body heal itself or do you drink anyway and go through about 20 bandaids more than are necessary. What do you do?

Don't buy this. If you have a friend or family member that has a birthday coming up and you wouldn't mind seeing them bleed, then you are a horrible person am this might be your best bet.

The shaker looks great, but it doesn't get a very good seal. I've mixed twenty or so drinks with it now and I'd say 3 times out of five I've had leakage between the lid and base or the top and lid. I've lost a good bit of drink out of these leaks.

If you can find a shaker with a rubber o-ring or similar, get that instead.

Otherwise, go with this for the quick and dirty (but super nice looking) option.

The item arrived with the jigger portion stuck tight to (or fused with) the strainer portions. I have not been able to separate them. I've tried twisting and pulling with no success. And the people who have mentioned that the lid is sharp are not kidding. Trying to remove the jigger piece has left both hands bleeding, quite literally. I wish I had read their reviews before I purchased this--and before I cut my hands. I may eventually figure out how to separate the pieces, but I regret buying this anyway because it's so easy to cut your hands with it.

After looking at several in stores I finally decided to buy this one. It is good quality, gets a good seal and is not too expensive.

The delivery was quick and the item appeared just like the picture, but when I use it it is impossible to get the lid off so I can pour the drink. Decent price, but poor product.

This is a very poor quality stainless steel shaker. It is HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED. Whenever we try to use, it leaks all over the place from all sides, extremely poor quality stainless steel at the same time.

Ordered this as a christmas gift to a friend. The shaker is too big for normal drinks, steel very flimsy and it rusted. Seal wasn't great either. He asked for receipt and returned it immediately. Don't bother buying this.

Wasn't very impressed with this shaker. Of course I jusitfy that with the fact that it was very inexpensive. I found that the lid doesn't fit quite the way it should which makes it difficult when you are trying to remove it to pour your drink/make more.

I liked this thing at first. It mixes drinks well, and keeps the liquid nice and cold (not to mention your hands while shaking it however!), and seemed to have an attractive and simple design.

I can also state it's never leaked or rusted as others have mentioned.

What HAS happened, is that the cap is *really* hard to get off. This, has led to spillage when it finally does come loose. This is incredibly annoying, and for this reason I would keep looking for a better quality one for my next purchase.

I was very surprised to see rust on this product after the initial wash. I let me dishes air dry and when I picked this up to put away after it dried there was rust on it. I was shocked, I rewashed it and dried it immediately and put it away. We have not used it to make a martini yet, but my husband like everything about it except the rusting.
