Cocktail Tool Set

A folding waiter's corkscrew (China, 500-unit run) lands around $1.50–3; a double-wall insulated ice bucket runs $6–12; a 5-piece cocktail tool set runs $8–15 in stainless steel, more for copper-plated finishes.

A folding two-step lever mechanism for professional-grade ease of use, or a simpler screw-only design for lower cost; confirm whether a foil-cutter blade should be integrated, as that's a common added feature on the professional format.

Double-wall is worth it for extended bar service where ice needs to last hours without frequent refilling; single-wall is fine for short events or quick turnover where melt rate is less of a concern.

Typically 300–500 units per finish and design, since metal stamping and plating are done in batches that need volume to be cost-effective.

Stainless steel is more durable and lower cost; copper-plated finishes look more premium and are popular for gifting or display, but the plating can wear with heavy use and needs occasional re-polishing.

A standard set includes a jigger, shaker, strainer, muddler, and bar spoon; components can be swapped or a set can be built smaller or larger, but each swap affects the overall unit cost and packaging design.

Corkscrews and cocktail tools generally fall under HS 8205 (hand tools) or HS 7323 (metal household articles) depending on classification; ice buckets typically fall under HS 7323 as well. Confirm per SKU based on primary material and function.
