    A jigsaw makes a Brilliant paint shaker. Remove the blades an blade holder. Get a small clamp put some sponge on the ends of the clamp. Insert the clamp end into the jigsaw tighten the screws that hold the clamp. Use 1 of the 3 speeds an your all good. Works Brilliantly l guarantee it. Sometimes U need to use what U have. Like also an orbital buffer with the sponge pads makes a Brilliant paint stirrer. Because it doesn't just spin, it does lots of small circles while doing a big big circle. So that orbit buffer for polishing your car. Works Brilliantly an already has the sponge pad!! Brilliant!! So U can shake your paint, an polish your car. Works a treat just put a towel down an put the buffer on the towel, an that will stop it vibrating all over the place. Really works Well. Aussie Skot.

    I think someone with a 3D printer could make an adapter, with the flexible filament, to fit all the square and hex shaped bottles.
    With those hand mixer things. I took old paint caps, drill a hole in the cap, pass the mixer rod through it, then screw it on the paint jar. No splash or spill.

    Put the elastic around the bottle and insert it in the holder for a tighter seal instead of putting it around the holder. That will work for the slightly loose bottles.

      They also steal peoples designs and sell them as their own. They went as far as getting patents on _other_ peoples designs, to prevent the creators from selling things.. GSW is a terrible company, even if they do have the best brushable chrome. I guess Rex doesn't know about it. Hopefully he researches them and stops giving them any business in the future,

      GSW is known to do some really shady business practices here in euro. One ilthd things they do often, is trademark and take out patents on stuff they don't own or invented. Here in EU its VERY easy and cheap to obtain patent and trademark protection for products made or SOLD in the EU. What GSW have done on multiple occasions is taking a product sold on aliexpress, take that products and trademark mark protect it the EU as Thwaite product preventing other other companies from importing this generic product from express. Obviously most Chinese companies dint care since they will sell anywhere, or they are not aware of the EU rules. GSW even Stole product designs from individuals that had been to open about a goid idea or a prototype theyvwerexworking on, GSW gets wind of it and the copyright protect this product idea that they didn't cone up with, BEFORE the original designer gets around to it. Just to underscore how corrupt this is, the EU patent and copyright protection agency/courts are located in the same city in Spain as GSW is located in. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.

    Definitely inferior to a vortex mixer. You don't even need to spend $100 on one, they make cheaper ones for $30 that work perfectly fine.
    You should test out shakers for spray cans. I've seen one that's a drill attachment that you strap on the spray can and it shakes it up and down with just a drill, but they don't seem very popular.

      A jig saw works Brilliantly. You take out the blades an blade holder. Get the small clamp put a bit of sponge on each end put your paint into the clamp. Then put the end of the clamp into the jigsaw tighten the screws an the jigsaw will go up an down an shake up your paints Brilliantly!! So if U have an old jigsaw just get a small clamp an your good to go, an most jigsaw's have 3 speeds. Sometimes U have to work with what U have. Works Brilliantly l guarantee it. Aussie Skot.

But l have a variable speed paint shaker an a paint stirrer like the 1 U have the 2 white one's. It just has a different end on it. I don't really like this 1 U were testing. As it just spins an the vibration would be from the paint an container being uncenterted. I think the one's that vibrates work much better. Like l have the washes that are mud, medium mud, thick mud. I definitely don't think this would work with those washes. I would luv to see U try it with thick muds an heavy washes. If it would work with those l would purchase 1. But l don't think just spinning those would mix them, there to thick. So l would luv to see a video of heavy muds from Mig ammo, Vallejo, AK, etc. To see what's the best for mixing heavy thick mud, as l build a lot of Tanks l use this a lot. So a video showing what's the best to mix heavy thick muds would be Amazing. Great info a person usual. Great work. Aussie Skot.

    This being said, however long I ran the shaker on some bottles that had been sitting for a few months, the pigment deposit would not mix. I was not convinced before ordering, but took a chance because of the low price. My conclusion : DOES NOT WORK.
