Review: Attach-It 3oz Measuring Cups

[Marc08EX]

Awesome review Mark! You really set the standard for these now lol rops:.

Thanks so much, Caleb! I appreciate the compliments!

Nice review. I keep one of these by the washer. Comes in really handy when it comes time to load up the microfibers and wash solution. Reduces the guessing and waste of product too. Thanks for the reminder that i need to pick up another set w/my next order! :xyxthumbs:

Thank you, Mike! Yeah they will work great with the MF cleaner too.

You sold me on them with your review.

Gonna add to cart for the order I plan on placing later this week


Thanks for such an informative review on such a simple product. I really like your suggestion of adding a pouring lip :xyxthumbs:

I'm glad to help. This is really a must for all detailers. Thanks for the kind words as well!

Honestly, I kind laughed when I read the review title, BUT, it turned out being very well worth the review! Nice job, Marc! rops: :dblthumb2:

Whew! I'm glad you changed your feelings towards the thread after reading the entire review. Thanks so much, Mark!

Who would ever have thought that a review of a measuring cup would be needed? But you did such a good job of it you have talked me into buying these things with my next order!

LOL thanks a lot Shortspark! You won't regret your decision to buy these!

For something so simple we sometimes fail to realize their importance. Like you, I didn't want to shell out the extra penny's then thought; what the heck, go for it! I found these to be invaluable when measuring is important.

I have 3 of these plus a few I rescued from the plastics bin from protein drinks. The later differ in size but make a dandy addition to my measuring cups and they do get used...

Nice review Marc! rops:

Thank you so much once again, Bobby!!! That really means a lot!

Another well thought out, as well as presented review Marc... A pleasant read!!

-Who'd a thunk a: 3@$1.99 item would be a welcomed-purchase.

-Great way to secure accurate measurement of products...
Less Waste = More Money Saved

Unbelievably:
-My "measuring cups" are usually stored in a old cigar box...In total disarray I must add...
With the necessity of washing them out after each use, to avoid the cross-contamination you spoke about.

Looks like these 3 oz. measuring cups are not only a feasible, but a reasonable solution for my situation.

Thanks for bringing them to my attention! rops:


NOTE:
The only problem I have with any/all measuring cups (In order to abstain from wasting products)...
Is finding the meniscus of the varioius fluids, thusly poured therein...

-My eyes have succumbed somewhat to the: "Getting Older Syndrome"

I always love reading your responses, Bob! Very informative and entertaining at the same time. Thanks so much for the compliments too! Much appreciated!

Indeed he has. If Mark made a review on a black mini skirt, he would probably convince me to buy one..........ok maybe not that.

Great review Mark! I personally bought a "kitchen" measuring cup after I made my wife mad for using hers. These make much more sense, especially with the ability to attach them to bottles. These will defenitely be on my next purchase!

Hmmm. If you really want a black mini skirt, I'll do a review for you. ROFL!!!! j/k.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, Aaron! I'm glad to hear you're going to pick this up.

Nice review. Did you think of the paperclip as well?

Sent PM.

Thanks, rmagnus!

I add 3 of these to my cart frequently. Now I have a whole garage full of them. Great review, as everyone should get these - I always have one at arms length. I can't believe everyone doesn't have a slew of these. I thought it was a no brainer.

Thanks, swanic!

Meghan, when are these going to be back in stock??
These are great and need more!!

When you search the store for "measuring cups," these appear: 1 oz. Measuring Cups

I have these in my cart already, but I do like the others with the ring so they can be attached to their specific bottle. It certainly isn't a huge deal, but nice nonetheless.

Perhaps the blue ones have replaced the others in the store.

Thank you Marc for the review. I will put this on my "need" list.

I'm in for more of the 3oz cups with the attachment handle.

I also bought the 1 oz set once. But, they are no good. Even if you only need to measure an ounce, its filled to the top and you end up spilling some.

The only thing that irritated me about the 3oz set was it came with no directions. I had the hardest time trying to figure out how to "attach it" to the bottle.

And then, when it can time to un-attatch I was clueless and just gave up. I ended up calling a friend over - he couldn't figure it out either. We were lost. Finally I figured out who manufactures these things - it was a factory in China.

So, we called the factory and talked to the owner. He was not sure either, but he said he had an engineer coming in later that day, so he asked us to call back.

I called back later and got the engineer on the phone. However, he only spoke Mandarin Chinese. No big deal, I was able to pick that up easy. The engineer consulted the original diagrams that the product's designer drew.

He came up with a theory how I may unattatch it, but said he wasn't 100% sure and he didn't want me to injure myself, my friend, or others in my community.

We hung up with the engineer and pondered his theory. He was right, safety first. We didn't want to hurt anyone, but just the frustration of not being able to solve the problem was really driving my friend and I nuts.

Then, like magic, the phone rang. Turns out it was the inventor / designer of the attach it measuring cup. He got my number from the engineer. Turns out, this fellow only spoke Yiddish in an Easter European dialect. No biggie, I picked that right up. I told him the entire story. He was dumbfounded.

He said, "yes"...he did invent the attach it measuring cup. But, this was the first time ever the concept of "unatachment" came up. He said he mainly designed it for decoration of the bottle upper quadrant and never really intended it to come off or be a useable device.

However, he was able to email me a series of steps that finally did enable me and my partner to get it removed. The email he sent was written in Arabic for some reason, but that wasn't to difficult to figure out. My friend and I were so thrilled we literally jumped for joy. Now, I keep a copy of those steps (still in Arabic) taped to my wall next to my bottles for consultation. Since then, everything has gone smoothly.

I'll be sending you a bill for having my monitor replaced after I spit coffee all over it. That is some funny stuff.
