Cocktail Shaker Set, Professional Boston Shaker Set with 18oz Unweighted & 28oz Weighted, Stainless Steel Martini Shaker for Bartending and Home Bar, Premium Bar Tools for Bartender
I've had issues with a lot of cobbler shakers in the past. The seal is either not great or two good. I've been tempted to try a boston shaker since that seems to be what bars use, but was worried that there was a trick to them that would make it difficult.So far, there is no trick. The boston shaker has been very easy to use. Seals easily, releases easily. Large capacity. I'm very happy with it.

Excellent shakers. Can be jammed very tight and won’t leak. Beautiful stainless material. Easy to clean because of nice smooth surfaces. Excellent.

Great shakers! Easy to clean and use. The only “bad” thing is that it gets VERY cold when using.

The Boston Shaker is one of those low-tech devices that could go terribly wrong if not precision made (especially since its sole function is to shake expensive liquor and fruit juice near well-attired friends and clients). Fortunately, this shaker does its job splendidly. Both sides of the shaker are metal (rather than the more traditional combination with one glass side), which I appreciate. Notionally, the advantage of the glass half is that you can see the ingredients as you shake them, but …I fail to see how that would be beneficial except in the cases of the most egregious mixing errors (and really, who needs one more fragile item in the dishrack after a night of libations?). When fitted together for shaking, the seal is perfect, but the two halves also separate with just a light knock of the hand after shaking is complete (and again, with no glass half, this bit of battery runs no risk of breaking the shaker over your shoes). Once washed and dried, the smaller half nests neatly in its counterpart for space-efficient storage. This shaker is simplicity itself, expertly executed.

I like that these are unweighted--each shaker tin is just a single piece of stainless steel. They lock well and are relatively easy to unlock (it takes a few whacks of the palm, which is normal). I shopped around quite a bit and am glad I went with these shaker tins.
