How large is the tube? Can I use it with the short, fat, quarters sold at Costco, 1.5"x1.5"x3.25" ?

It will only take slender quarters. Plus, the one I purchased broke as soon as my husband used it.

It barely fits normal sticks. So if they are 1.5 x 1.5 then sure. However I wouldn't keep it in the fridge unless you want to run the risk of breaking the mill when using it. It can't handle the force of cold butter.

I've had one of these for years. Mine is blue and yellow. It also takes the skinny east coast butter. For some reason they've never made one for west coast sized butter sticks.The trick is to store it by the veg crisper, in a less cold area, so that the butter isn't sooo cold that it won't dispense easily, or you'll have to take it out of the fridge a few minutes before use to let the butter warm up just a little.I love mine, I just wish it fit my California sized sticks [I'd buy another one if they ever make a west coast version]. But, it only takes a minute and a sharp, thin knife to trim about 3/8" from two sides of the cube and then put the trimmings on top. I've had one of these for years. Mine is blue and yellow.

I put a stick of butter and when I used it for the first time, it cracked. I even ran hot water on it to soften.

I emailed the company that manufactured it and they responded that I contact amazon for so refund.

I am using this very item with 3/8" plastic tubing. But seems it will work with 5/16" - 1/2" but only sure about what I'm using. Hopes this helps

It seems to be made for quarters since they fit perfectly. Smaller coins should fit but might move around in the holder.

I can't figure out how to post a picture for you, but I put one of these vitamins on a quarter and it fits exactly end-to-end and the width was about a third of the quarter's diameter. It's about as thick as it is wide. Hope that helps!

Janet- The specifications on the mirror say it will work on tube sizes from 1" to 2 1/2". That tells me you're good to go. Steve

Yes. The rounded portion of the pliers open wide enough to hold a U. S. quarter with room to spare. U. S. quarter = .955 inches. Image for reference: http://imgur.com/qDrR4gu

The tubes are 5.5" long and the opening is 1" in diameter. However, 1/4" of the length is lost due to a recess on the bottom of the tube and the opening tapers down to 3/4" just below the opening.

If it's the .25 oz tube you're refereing to, then yes. That's their travel size

No. This size will only hole the quarter size. I would suggest to you to buy the set with all the sizes available from the penny to the large dollar.

Anything 5.5" x 3.5" x 1" will comfortably fit in the shielded pouch of this wallet. It is a quality product. I am glad I purchased one.

Sadly, I am without a tape measure/ruler right now. I think it would be too tight The 3"and 1.5" will be fine, but I put a dollar bill in it and it couldn't lay flat. They are only 6" wide. I don't think it's the best size case.

It is too short for my cintgo 24oz, which is not the big one but the normal typical size I believe. I don't have it with me now to test any other size.

Im not sure of the exact measurements because I threw the original carton away. And as far as I know the only stores that sell them are the wholesale clubs like Sam's Club, Costco, etc., which is where I purchased mine. Better be prepared to need a lot though. They come in a big box, but I feel that if you have too much quantity, you can always use them somewhere even if you don't have a dispenser for every room. Just look for the standard tri-fold and they will fit just fine. That's what I did.

The internal diameter of the hose itself is closer to 1.25", not 1.5". The 2 connectors insert in the smooth ends of the hose and then have (male) threads that are 1.25" and 1.5". If you want to use this for something else, beware that the hose itself is not 1.5". Wish I'd known that!

Inside dimensions. But, if the brush handle is a bit wider than1.5", and I mean a bit, it can get stuck in the inner tube if you are not careful. You should be fine with a 1.5" W and 4" L brush. My Omega Pro can fit in it but at 5" long it fills the whole tube and the curvature of the handle (a smidge > 1.5") can easily get stuck if I try to screw the tube completely closed to reach the 5* length. Also, I received a clear tube, not a solid color as pictured. It works well but if I could have found a large enough prescription bottle I wouldn't have bought it for $14. Inside dimensions.

I don't think so, because there is a 1 1/2 inch difference in the tube length.

The term "coin-tainer" is not familiar. If it consists of a preformed tube with a rolled under edge at one end it will probably work just fine. These things are ubiquitous. Staples or WalMart has all sorts of such things.
