The gunmetal grey is plastic, the stainless steel is…stainless steel.

True. I would buy stainless, just wanted to point out the availability. Regardless though, I am not a fan of this style with the flip top. I prefer the old school, like this.
Don’t want to parrot just what’s being said above about this being an atypically bad discount from woot but it seems like this is also overpriced to begin with.
Maybe it has something to do with using unnecessary materials to double wall a shaker that doesn’t really need to be double walled. The only reason I can think of needing to not feel the chill is if you’re actually keeping the shaker frozen in which case with this you could easily use a towel to insulate your hand, especially since this has an “easy to use” design.
The only time I break out the cocktail shaker is when I’m playing bartender… and this is definitely too small to service 4+ people (that’s right, i went there)
I have one of these, and in general find it to be a better shaker than most. The only problem is that the pulp of lemons/limes often gets hung up in the strainer. Still would recommend it.
I bought this for a friend using the 20% coupon from BB and Beyond and it was the same price. I was not overly impressed with the shaker itself. It’s difficult to clean lime pulp from the strainer part.
