About Us
It Started With a Better Duck
My dad kept seeing duck valve caps for sale online. They looked cheap — thin plastic, rough finish, the kind of thing that wouldn't last a season on a real vehicle.
He figured he could do better. Not expensive-better — just properly made. Something durable enough to survive weather and road grit, but still cheap enough that anyone could grab a set without thinking twice about it. So he started building them himself.
People noticed. The same question kept coming up: "Where did you get those?" Soon enough, those questions turned into orders.
A Father-and-Son Company
I joined him to help turn that unexpected demand into something bigger. He makes the things. I handle the brand, the website, and figuring out how anyone finds us. It's the two of us, and that's genuinely it.
What We Make
Our signature product is the hand-assembled duck valve cap: a little duck paired by hand with a genuinely good valve cap. Aluminum body, inner rubber seal, corrosion-resistant, and available in a growing range of colors — including a few wearing tiny sunglasses.
Every single one is put together by hand, in small batches, here in the Great Smoky Mountains. No factory, no warehouse. Just a bench, a lot of very small ducks, and my dad.
What We Stand For
Built better than it needs to be. The cheap versions set a low bar. We'd rather clear it properly.
Priced so anyone can join in. Affordable was the point from day one. These should be an easy yes — for yourself, or as a gift for someone who'd get a kick out of them.
Honest about what we make. If we made it, we'll say so. If a partner made it, we'll say that too.
We take the products seriously. Ourselves, not quite as much.
