This innovative drill-mounted stirrer design simplifies mixing 5-gallon paint buckets. It fits through the bucket's pouring hole and attaches directly to a drill, leaving the lid on for splash-free mixing. The stirrer consists of an outer head connected to a ½” pipe, an inner head attached to a 5/16” rod, and a plate holding four mixing fingers. Made with accessible bolts, rods, and pipes, this design is easily manufacturable using a high-resolution Polyjet printer for prototyping. This time-saving tool addresses the common struggle of painters, carpenters, and homeowners seeking an easy method to mix large paint buckets.
