Yeti Tumblers

When Yeti first introduced their tumblers I said I would not own one for two reasons. One, they cost too much and two, I prefer a handle on mine. Makes it easier to grab when I am driving the car or boat.

The first issue resolved itself when I got one as a birthday gift. I set about to resolve the second issue and thought I would share in case any of you might find it useful.

I found handles for Tervis tumblers and the 16 oz one was $6 so I bought one. My Yeti is a 20 oz so the handle only would go up about half way, which worked but was awkward. So, using a bit of engineering theory, I put the handle in a pot of hot water and the Yeti in the fridge for 10 min. Took out the Yeti and rubbed dish soap around the top and slid the handle to a perfect spot.
Works like a charm.

Funny thing reading the comments on the Tervis website they state it only fits Tervis products. Marketing I guess.:dono

And by the way, it is amazing how long it keeps things hot or cold. I have set mine in the kitchen at night with ice in it and the next morning most of the ice was still frozen.

Ray where did you get the handles I need 2

I ordered from Amazon, but I think Acadmy sells them and probably other shops that sell Tervis stuff. Jewelry Warehouse maybe?

Good info Ray. Those handles only settles one of the problems though.:Doh:

Good info I might try that

I have the yeti and just got a few of the RTIC tumblers and Koozies and to tell you the truth they are just as good and do the same as the yeti for half the price !!!! and you can get handles that fit both the yeti and RTIC tumblers here is the website !!!

my first order took about 2 weeks my other order last week took 3 days !!!

The next thing the rest of you need is some of SeaRay's perked coffee! I look forward to it at least once a month! Yum!!

Ray I really like my Yeti's. I didn't need the handle but I hate cold coffee so the Yeti was a great purchase.

I got the Engel in a 30oz for 30 bucks from Grizzly and love it, got one for Ms Tammy too.

So Searay you paid attention in your science class to get the handle to fit. Good on ya.

Wife just found the handles at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for $6. They have one that will fit the 30 oz also, but I don't know which one it is.

you can get it off the RTIC website that will fit the yeti for $6.99 for the 30 oz and 20 oz tumblers !!!

One thing to look out for is how you cup holder is configured. Tervis makes the double ring handles also, but they won't fit in my cup holders. The bottom ring and handle interfere with the slot it sits in. That is why I went with the single ring and it would not work until I managed to slide it up to the top of the cup.
Just something to check before you buy.

Ray,
RTIC cup holders are double ring and they the one that will fit the yeti 30 oz and the handle for the 20 oz also is double ring and will fit the yeti as well

I am talking about the cup holders in my car and boat. The double ring ones won't seat in my holders. Only the single ring one fit them.
