Micro-Mark Cordless Mixer for Model Paints

I'm gonna be honest i wasn't having high hopes for this when I ordered it but I was surprised. It really works well and is convenient. Is it cheaply constructed and top notch quality? Yes and no but.....it's good where it counts. The metal shaft is pretty good and simple to clean. I use enamel model paint and you just stick it in lacquer thinner in a jar and turn it on and poof done. Same thing with water and acrylic. No scrubbing or cleaning just wipe dry. It mixes paints like a dream. I think this is well worth the money and then some. Like I said it's kinda cheaply designed on the handle but...who cares? It works. Sometimes the simplest designs work the best. The only thing we have to wait and see is longevity and such but as long as the motor holds i don't forsee a problem.

Works great for my airbrush paints looks like a martini stirrer

I am a professional painter working in egg temepra. Rather than powder pigments I prefer to use a pigment dispersion (pigment in a water body with a binder). Many of the pigments separate considerably to the point where shaking will not help. This little mixer does the trick! It makes the pigments homogeneous with very few bubbles even after 15mintues of mixing. The small size of the head fits perfectly into my 2oz. bottles with a 1in neck opening. Many other products are too large. The shaft is a bit shorter than the bottle but it swirls well enough to pick up and incorporate the pigment at the bottom of the bottle.I would agree the plastic aught to be sturdier but I believe it will hold up well. For the manufacturer, I would happily pay a little more for a sturdier plastic housing. If you are having difficulty with the batteries, check out the video. It will help you figure out how to install them properly. Overall, thank you. This product is exactly what I needed to prepare my paint.

What a great tool for mixing model paint!!!

You must watch a video in order to operate it. No instruction in the box or one the unit to explain battery insertion sequence. Very prone to starting by itself and spewing paint everywhere. Not recommended for the price. I'll never order another one.

If you have small model railroad paints in small bottles, they often have pigment on the bottom and clear liquid above. This little mixer solves that problem in about one minute.Batteries are put in....one south and one north....it does not matter which way as paint doesn't care whether it is mixed clockwise or counterclockwise.....as the motor will run either way depending on battery orientation. Those whining about no instructions......get a life.This little tool works great!

There should def be a 0 stars option here. These people should actually be ashamed to put this out there. The battery area sparks every time it’s turned on (and there’s no off button or anything so to turn it off you have to remove the batteries), the button to control the mixer is basically just there for show and does not give you anything and I didn’t even get to use it once bc the mixer does not fit into the machine so it just falls directly out. This product is pure trash and not at all what is advertised here. Spend your money elsewhere and save yourself from dealing with this bs.

Great item, perfect size for small bottle hobby paint. Excellent battery life
