Mixing House Paint the Easy Way.

My father would get me to hold a stick in the can of house pain and mix the paint for over 5 minutes. Someone once told me to shake the paint can for 5 minutes. It was tedious tiresome work.

So what I did (as an adult) was get an electric battery operated drill that was not working well – the chuck kept letting go of the drill bits. I bought a new drill and didn’t need this one anymore so this made the drill perfect as a dedicated paint mixer machine.

I tried two options, first a food mixer end that I found lying around in the garage.

I used the mixer, but then lost it one day and wondered what else I could use to attach to the drill to mix the paint and save time.

I found an old Saw Guide, the ones that come with Circular Saw’s that we tend to not ever use and put that in the drills chuck and it works perfectly as is seen in Image 3.

That is my answer to the house paint mixing problem.
I hope you find this tip useful.
