Stanley thermos – a landscaper’s tool for cold winter days

I planned to write a post on a different issue today, but after today’s work was finished, I decided I needed to say something about the infamous green stainless steel thermos - Stanley thermos.

The high in Tulsa for the day was reached 35 degrees by late afternoon.  For most of the day, it was well below freezing.

Before I left for work, I took out my Stanley vacuum bottle and filled it with a mixture of coffee and hot chocolate (for the sweet tooth).  Not only did it keep me warm throughout the day, the little that was left over was still steaming hot by the time the bottle was emptied and washed this evening.  What an incredible bottle!

The Stanley bottle was invented in 1913 by William Stanley Jr.

Some key facts of the vacuum bottle from the manufacturer’s website:

• Keeps hot/ cold 24 hours
• Double wall vacuum insulation
• 8oz lid doubles as drinking cup
• Stainless steel construction
• Durable rustproof finish
• Heavy duty handle
• Easy-pour stopper

The Stanley thermos is a must for any serious landscaper.
