The full-size Shift Shield™ Work Putty tin and the upcoming 10 mL minis are built around the same basic goal: making worker-focused protection practical. The difference is not that one size is better. The difference is where, when, and how you plan to use it.
The full-size 2 oz tin: your main supply
The 2 oz Work Putty tin is designed to be the product you reach for consistently. It gives you more Work Putty for regular use before work, after washing, at the end of the shift, and before bed.
The full-size tin makes the most sense when you:
- Use Work Putty frequently or on more than one area.
- Keep a primary tin at home, in the truck, or in a toolbox.
- Want the best long-term value per application.
- Work long shifts and expect regular exposure to friction, gloves, weather, or repeated washing.
- Already know which Work Putty option you prefer.
For many workers, the 2 oz tin will remain the everyday anchor—the one that stays near the boots, tools, sink, or nightstand.
The 10 mL mini: protection that moves with you
The mini is about convenience. Its smaller size is easier to keep in places where a full-size tin may feel unnecessary or may get left behind.
A 10 mL mini can make sense for:
- A pocket or compact everyday-carry kit.
- A lunch bag, locker, desk, or glove compartment.
- Travel and short trips.
- Trying Work Putty before choosing a full-size option.
- Keeping backups in multiple locations.
- Giving someone a practical introduction to Shift Shield.
The mini is meant to feel like a real Shift Shield product in a smaller format—not simply a disposable sample.
Practicality depends on the situation
Imagine a landscaper who applies Work Putty before leaving home and again after showering at night. The 2 oz tin may be the practical main supply. A mini can still ride in the work bag for a quick application after washing during the day.
A mechanic might keep the 2 oz tin near the shop sink and a mini in the vehicle. A roofer might use the full size at home and carry the mini when space is limited. Someone new to Shift Shield may begin with a mini, then move to the 2 oz tin once the product becomes part of the routine.
Do you need both?
Not necessarily—but the two sizes work well together.
Think of the 2 oz tin as the main supply and the 10 mL mini as the mobile supply. One is built for frequent use and value. The other is built for portability, trying different options, and keeping Work Putty close wherever the day takes you.
Choose based on how you work
Choose the full-size tin if you want a dependable supply for regular use. Choose a mini if portability, sampling, or a backup location matters most. Choose both if you want one product at your main station and another that never has to leave your pocket or work bag.

Different sizes. Different jobs. The same Shift Shield mission.
