The contractor-grade QLT Mixers come in three different styles, giving you the best selection for your needs.

The only problem with putting it in paint is you want to keep the power down on the drill as it is a powerful mixer and it will fling paint onto your legs if you are not aware of just how powerful it really is. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. For rapid and efficient mixing the Clifton from Nickel Electro Cyclone creates a vortex in the tube, which gives the highly effective mixing action. I see them both with a place in the field with similar characteristics, and hopefully the feedback I can provide will help with further development. Pints, gallons, imperial gallons, aerosols, rectangular gallons, 4-liter, and some 5-liter cans are all accommodated by the flexible clamping system design.

With a three-year manufacturer's warranty, the Cyclone Pneumatic Can Paint Shaker is proudly made in the USA.

You can mix and stir new paint, old paint, split paint, settled paint, masonry paint, heavy duty paints, tile grout, coloured grout, tile cement, wallpaper paste, unibond, PVA, adhesives, creosote and substitutes, bitumen, plaster, chemicals, marine antifouling and many other complex finishes! There is more to this than a simple flat paddle, the tapered holes through the middle of the blade are wider on one side than the other creating a whirlpool effect. This little stainless steel stirrer has been sitting in my goods in bay for a few months now and, even though I have used quite a lot of paint in that time I have not thought to use it. I am only starting this thread because I was impressed with this mixer and thought that if any of my brothers of the brush were in the market for a new mixer this was the one to have and their knives and pans are nice as well.

This mixer is also very powerful, being designed for drywall mud and it seems to outperform the Tornado. The gentle movement is ideal for staining gels without destroying the gel edges, or for keeping fragile tissue intact during incubations.

The unit may be set up for continuous running at the chosen speed or on-demand by inserting the tube into the cup. The second one is the larger model NE-516 Cyclone that is covered by a lifetime warranty it has the green shaft and white paddle.This allows for very slow gently mixing which is necessary in many applications, particularly where damage to cell structure must be avoided.
