ALLWAY HM1 Original Helix Paint Mixer Drill Attachment for 1-Gallon Containers

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.

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

Sturdy and work as intended.

Good mixing tool but a bit messyI tried out the ALLWAY HM1 Helix Paint Mixer with the idea that it would make quick work of small paint jobs. It does a good job of mixing paint in a 1-gallon can – the helix design really stirs things up and ensures the paint gets blended evenly, which is better than trying to stir with a stick. It’s lightweight, easy to attach to a drill, and the size is just right for quart and gallon containers.On the flip side, I noticed that if I ran the drill too fast, paint tended to splash up the sides of the can. Keeping the drill speed on the lower side is important if you don’t want a mess. Cleanup is also a little tricky since paint gets caught in the curves of the helix. It takes some soaking and scrubbing to get it completely clean.Bottom line: This mixer does what it’s supposed to – mixes paint quickly and evenly. Just be mindful of drill speed and be ready to spend a little extra time cleaning it afterward.

These mix the paint thoroughly and are easy to clean. Well made, and should last a very long time. They were a bit of a workout for my M12 drill, but the M18 handled it fine.

great price and fast shipping !

Works for mixing ceramic glazes.

Works great to stir paint with battery power drill.
