Hellcat Bottle Opener

Get ready to pop that top with this truly unique handcrafted, Hellcat bottle opener.  Not only is this a fun keepsake and a functional gadget, but it also resembles the Grumman F6F carrier-based fighter used in World War II.  

The Hellcat bottle opener is made with lead-free pewter with some sterling silver that provides an exceptional shine.  You can keep the Hellcat bottle opener clean by hand washing with ammonia free mild soap and water.  Dishwashing is not recommended. A pewter cleaning cloth available from any hardware store is also an option for keeping your bottle opener shiny bright.  The Hellcat bottle opener and gift box packaging is completely made in the USA.  It fits in the palm of your hand, has a nice feel, and measures approximately 4.25-inches long by 3.25-inches across the wingspan.

Anyone interested in aviation would enjoy owning this opener. This is available for $25 on the Banyan Pilot Shop website at www.BanyanPilotShop.net/hellcat

New Interlocking Drip Pan Design from DripPansUSA Protects Floors Better Than Ever

There’s nothing quite like oil, fuel or other drips to ruin a shop floor or worse yet, cause a safety hazard. Minneapolis-based DripPansUSA offers their new, interlocking drip pans for $29.95.

Whether used for truck fleets, busses, in public works buildings or aircraft hangars, the interlocking design allows users to join multiple drip pans along their edges, protecting floors in an infinite arrangement of shapes and sizes. The sturdy, yet lightweight drip pans are easy to set up and clean up. 

The drip pans are made of black polyethylene and are available in two sizes.  18” x 48” and 24” x 30” sizes.  Each is approximately .125” high and they are light and durable.

“By far, DripPansUSA are the best drip pans. I’ve owned an aircraft hangar for years and haven’t found anything that protects my hangar floor quite like our drip pans,” said Greg Herrick, pilot, inventor and owner of DripPansUSA.

DripPansUSA guarantees customer satisfaction or they will refund the purchase price. They are  made in the U.S.A. and available at www.DripPansUSA.com or by calling 800-461-0294.
