ALLWAY HMQ Helix Paint Mixer for Drill, 2 Pack | Fits 1-Quart and 1-Cup Containers, The Original Helix Shape, Quick and Complete Mixing

Good solid mixer. I bought this to mix sugar syrup for my bees in a 5 gallon bucket. Works great and feels well made. Hopefully it will last for a long time.

I need this for a five gallon bucket of paint. There was no way I could have mixed the paint with a paint stick and got it all blended. This little unit was so handy and made mixing a breeze. I love how quickly it worked and it's super easy to clean up. You can use it in gallon cans and five gallon buckets. Very handy! I would highly recommend this product. Please let me know if this review is helpful to you. I appreciate your feedback.

This little paint mixer does a very good job at mixing my 5 gallon bucket of paint. I was able to simply attach it to my drill and place all the way down to the bottom of the paint bucket, and it mixed up my paint perfectly! It did not splatter, and the paint mixer was easy to clean and store for the next job. Overall, I give this product a perfect 4 stars. It's also a very well-made, heavy-duty product! I highly recommend this product for all of your paint projects.

inexpensive. works as advertised. useful for mixing old paint that had settled.

More sturdy than others.

If you're going to do any painting, do yourself a favor. If you don't own a drill, go buy the cheapest one at the hardware store. You can probably find one for $30 if you look around. Then buy one of these things for five bucks. Those will probably be the most valuable painting tools you can buy. When I was a kid, we used to have to mix paint by hand with one of those flat sticks. It didn't seem to matter how long we stirred. The paint never mixed completely. Then, hardware stores started carrying those paint can shakers, but I didn't want to go to the hardware store every time I needed to mix paint. It has been a while since I had a painting project. I had one come up this winter, and I conceived of the idea of attaching something to my drill to mix the paint. I decided to see if maybe someone else had thought of the idea, and sure enough. I must warn that you need to look closely at the date that says when it's going to ship. It took about a month to get mine. That's not going to knock any stars off of the review because it's not supposed to. It's just a good idea to check on this item. I ended up buying another one at my neighborhood Ace, so I actually have two of these now. Mixing the paint with my drill on a low setting took maybe a couple of minutes. It was probably faster than that, but I went a lot longer than I thought I needed to simply because I've had bad experiences mixing paint. It did a great job. The paint went on great, and it looks great. It was also very easy to clean afterwards. I used an matte acrylic paint. After I used it, it sat for about an hour. That was long enough for the paint to dry but not cure, and it peeled right off. I hate painting, period. But this thing sure does make it easier to start a job. If you have a drill, it's a no brainer. If you don't have a drill, add $35 to your project budget and save yourself a ton of time.

I had less than half a gallon of old primer I wanted to salvage for a small area. It was pretty nasty but it was either use it or toss it. I bought this to make my attack. Pic A shows how it came. OK fine. Pic B shows the rubber top that you use if you want to hang it. It comes right off. You can kinda see the shaft is 6 sided. Fits nice and snug in my drill. I would think a variable speed drill is best for this. You can control the splatter! I started slowly and clockwise which is to say going with the fins. Did great. I then decided to reverse direction and it did just as well. Maybe a little more aggressive but not uncontrollably so. Again, I'm in less than half a gallon so I wanted to be careful. In a full gallon you would probably need more power. I got to use the old primer and am very happy with this. Pic C shows the top of the stirrer for what its worth. Note that this brand doesn't have the flat platform over the fins. Maybe it adds to stability or longevity not sure, but without it, it sees to be easy to clean. (PS I letter my pics because Amazon keeps screwing up their order so I can't refer to first pic, second pic etc!) Thanks

I ordered two of these for two very different purposes, one for mixing paints and one for my work mixing 5 gallon buckets used for prepping large quantities of sauces. For the typical thinner solutions this product works exceptionally well. Just go slow with it until you get a feel for how it will shift and you will be fine. If you do it too fast or at the wrong angle also if up too high it will slosh large amounts out out of the bucket and into the air and floor lol, but if done slowly to start and let it build this small head is able to stir EXTREMELY thick sauces, it also gives an extremely thorough mix when done with a little extra time. If you want a way to save your arms from doing mixing get 1-2 of these and enjoy the less effort and higher productivity. I am going to check to see if they make ones with bigger paddles, as that would help a lot but I also like this product as I have ground into the sides of the 5 gallon plastic sauce bucket and never had any chippings yet from it or any damage to the internal buckets once cleaned and inspected.

As described and works well!

I use the ALLWAY HMQ Helix Paint Mixer Drill Attachment for mixing epoxy resin, and it works wonderfully! It mixes thoroughly and quickly, ensuring a smooth, bubble-free blend every time. Cleanup is a breeze, which is a huge plus when working with sticky materials like resin. This mixer attaches easily to a drill and provides consistent results without splashing, saving both time and effort. If you're looking for an efficient, easy-to-clean mixer for resin or other materials, this is a fantastic choice!

Excelente producto, lo uso para homogenizar producto químico

Je l'ai eu pendant près d'un an et l'ai utilisé régulièrement. Il est toujours en bon état, mais je pense qu'il pourrait être plus solide.

Great tool. Small enough to fit anywhere yet the right size for mixing, including mixing tubs of paint…etc. Wish I got it sooner. Used it for years and still good.
