## Description

Innovating since 1935, ALLWAY delivers the tools you ask for by name. ALLWAY was the original patent holder for the helix mixer, and the HM5 5-Gallon Helix Paint Mixer provides top performance for mixing paint and other liquid. It can be used to mix most viscous fluids, paints, coatings, stains, wall texture and adhesives. This patented mixer is one of the fastest mixers of its kind with its patented mixer head, which creates a Helix-like mixing action. The Helix mixer fits 5 gallon paint pails and has a 5/16" hex shaft to fit all electric drills. Use a low to moderate speed and make sure not to raise the mixing head above the surface of the liquid, while spinning, to avoid spatter on clean surfaces. Make your painting jobs more convenient and less time intensive with the 5-Gallon Helix Paint Mixer.

Review: Good mixer - 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.
Review: Fits perfect, much easier and faster than mixing with a paint stick - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will it melt if i clean up with acetone**
A: I have been using Acetone to clean Rustoleum hammered paint off of mine and haven't had an issue.

**Q: How do you clean this? - or it it really a one time use?**
A: I just spray water on it (for latex paint) while spinning it in drill/driver.  For oil base just clean with paint thinner.  Not a one time use; should last you for many, many years

**Q: How big is the steering head**
A: The steering head is 2 1/2 inches.

**Q: Are the blades hard or flexible? Would they fit in a one gallon jug?**
A: The blades on the one gallon helix paint mixer are hard with a little bend to them. They are made for one gallon paint cans; if the opening of the jug is equal to a 1 gallon paint mixer, then it should fit no problem.

This little paint mixer does a very good job at mixing my 5 gallon bucket of paint.

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.
