Description
The paint mixer that stirs that little bit further…
Attach this to your electric drill and mix your paint with maximum effectiveness.
The carefully positioned gaps in both the vanes and the bottom are designed to maximise turbulence while you run this even at low speed, enabling you to mix the paint without introducing air bubbles that can cause issues with high-speed paint mixers - you're not trying to make a soufflé!
Two print profile versions are available:
Standard:
With circular guide:
The choice is yours, but you're probably better off with the circular guide version, as this reduces the stress on the corners when scrape the edge of the paint tin.
It's all about the detail:
Three vanes have vertical sides that allow you to reach the edges of the paint can where paint can be stuck.
The bottom surface of the paddle has three holes, with carefully angled edges to pull paint up from the bottom of the can:
The main shaft has a hexagon at the top, to get maximum grip on your drill, but is then circular below that to make it easy to clean:
