Top up with fewer spills
Funnels are great until whatever you’re filling up is full, and there’s still liquid in the funnel … and then the entire contents of the funnel winds up on the ground.
The No-Mess Funnel helps prevent overspills with a patented ball-and-hook design that opens up the funnel spout to allow virtually any type of liquid to flow.
