Best cup holders

[HawkinsHollow]

I need cup holders in 3 or 4 locations. Duck blind, tractor, truck, canoe. So I am looking for some advice on good cup holders. Not necessarily the most expensive more the best value for the function. What do you like and why? Thank you!

I installed a Beckson Soft-Mate cup holder on my tractor 20 years ago. It still works good today. Beckson Soft-Mate Accessories

Your hand?

Years ago, a thoughtful guy glued a magnet on the bottom of (as I recall) a "Big Gulp" cup.

I've taken a metal can of appropriate size (I've different size cups) and fastened them on pipes with U bolts, and on my M4700 tractor there's 2 bars across the front (I think they are for propping up the loader if you take it off the tractor) I fasten the can (32oz?) with a flat ubolt.

Not really a cup holder as is being discussed here, but I got tired of the lids popping off the foam cups when I get a Diet Coke at Speedway. So, I came up with this holder for them, 3D printed a few of them and they work great. No more spilled soda.
When COVID hit, they didn't allow you to use your own reusable container, so you had to use their foam cups.

Marine dealers sell stainless steel holders that self level as boat(tractor) lean's with waves(hills). You can buy 1 holder and extra ss clips which can be fastened at various locations for moving holder around. I've had my 4 holders and 10 clips so long I don't remember the brand.

So I think this is what I have decided to go with. Yes, it is plastic Chinese crap from the Evil Empire (Amazon) but it should serve the purpose well, and they are cheap. Like everything from the Evil Empire.
Duck Blind: $3 each

Canoe: $10 for 2

Truck: $10

And for the tractor I have a nice Ram X like this I need to mount:


I will let you know how they work.

That is really cool! Great idea! I have a few million dollar ideas I would like to get 3d printed, wish I had skills like that.
