Field Company, craft cast iron pans
“They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.”—a common phrase and the motivation behind the Field Company, a manufacturer of high-quality cast iron pans, pots, and more.
Started by two brothers, Chris and Stephen Muscarella, from the Northeast U.S., they noticed that many vintage kitchen items, like cast iron skillets, weren’t made with their original integrity, or simply no longer made at all. They created the Field Company to bring back these lost items with their original or improved quality.
It must have worked because the Field Company holds an esteemed reputation in the cooking and restaurant industries.

Say goodbye to messy paint rollers with Spinout
Painting has always been one of the easiest ways to instantly elevate a space. But wrestling with messy paint rollers is frustrating, and replacing rollers for each space is an annoying expense, especially for professional painters.
Spinout cleans and dries paint rollers to reuse in as little as two minutes. It attaches to most sinks or even garden hoses. Don’t even remove the handle. Just run the roller under the stream to skim away paint instantly.
Painters save on materials and unnecessary runs to the paint or hardware store when they invest in the USA-made Spinout paint roller cleaner.
Review: "This roller cleaner is awesome! A neighbor who used to work for Sherwin Williams Paints introduced us to it and let us borrow it while we were painting the exterior of our house. The house is stucco and we had to use thicker, more expensive rollers to get good coverage. We were able to do the whole house with just 2 rollers because this roller cleaner worked so well! We used it with a garden hose, but it can also be attached to a utility sink faucet, which is how our neighbor uses it. We liked it so well we had to get one for ourselves!" - Ladybugnh, Spinout review.

Say goodbye to auto fluid spills with Funl
Did you ever notice that funnels designs have never changed, yet there’s no universal size, and they all leak and are messy to use? Luckily, three brothers from New York did and invented Funl.
Funl works by removing the traditional funnel from the equation with a better spout to pour from. The spout attachment is made of a flexible rubber and has a universal fit that stretches for a snug fit on any liquids' container. Liquids run through the expandable hose completely leak-free.
Review: "I’ve been using the FunL for the past few weeks for basic car stuff—oil top-offs, coolant, and windshield washer fluid—and it’s been surprisingly useful. The biggest difference is how it forms around the opening instead of just sitting on top like a normal funnel. I used it on a tight oil fill and it stayed in place while I poured, which meant no drips down the engine. Same with coolant—usually messy for me, but this kept things controlled." - Ronald Rejada, Amazon review.
