Featuring a narrow polypropylene helix blade that fits directly into pail bung holes, it minimizes splatter and air bubbles. Its 1/4" carbon steel hex shaft securely fits all 3/8" or larger electric drills, making it a versatile, durable tool favored by professionals and DIYers alike. ## 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 HM5N Universal Helix Mixer is a must have tool for mixing paints, epoxies and other liquids. The polypropylene narrow head fits perfectly into the bung hole of the lid on 3, 4 and 5-gallon pails for quick and easy mixing. This allows for easy clean up, as the liquid will not spatter when mixing, and can be wiped clean when finished. It can be used to mix most viscous liquids, paints, coatings, stains, wall textures and adhesives. The patented, heavy-duty mixer has a 1/4-inch carbon steel hex shaft that securely connects to all electric drill chucks 3/8-inch or larger. The helix shape also allows the liquid to be uniformly mixed throughout the container, and creates less air bubbles, making it ideal for epoxies and other finer finishing products. This mixer is the fastest 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: Allway Paint Mixer-- Easy to use, Inexpensive, No problem - I had less than half a gallon of old primer I wanted to salvage for a small area. It was pretty nasty but it was either use it or toss it. I bought this to make my attack. Pic A shows how it came. OK fine. Pic B shows the rubber top that you use if you want to hang it. It comes right off. You can kinda see the shaft is 6 sided. Fits nice and snug in my drill. I would think a variable speed drill is best for this. You can control the splatter! I started slowly and clockwise which is to say going with the fins. Did great. I then decided to reverse direction and it did just as well. Maybe a little more aggressive but not uncontrollably so. Again, I'm in less than half a gallon so I wanted to be careful. In a full gallon you would probably need more power. I got to use the old primer and am very happy with this. Pic C shows the top of the stirrer for what its worth. Note that this brand doesn't have the flat platform over the fins. Maybe it adds to stability or longevity not sure, but without it, it sees to be easy to clean. (PS I letter my pics because desertcart keeps screwing up their order so I can't refer to first pic, second pic etc!)

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good mixer *by J***3 on April 20, 2026* Good solid mixer.

Thanks ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must-Have accessory for any painting project *by B***N on March 17, 2017* If you're going to do any painting, do yourself a favor. If you don't own a drill, go buy the cheapest one at the hardware store. You can probably find one for $30 if you look around. Then buy one of these things for five bucks. Those will probably be the most valuable painting tools you can buy. When I was a kid, we used to have to mix paint by hand with one of those flat sticks. It didn't seem to matter how long we stirred. The paint never mixed completely. Then, hardware stores started carrying those paint can shakers, but I didn't want to go to the hardware store every time I needed to mix paint. It has been a while since I had a painting project. I had one come up this winter, and I conceived of the idea of attaching something to my drill to mix the paint. I decided to see if maybe someone else had thought of the idea, and sure enough. I must warn that you need to look closely at the date that says when it's going to ship. It took about a month to get mine. That's not going to knock any stars off of the review because it's not supposed to. It's just a good idea to check on this item. I ended up buying another one at my neighborhood Ace, so I actually have two of these now. Mixing the paint with my drill on a low setting took maybe a couple of minutes. It was probably faster than that, but I went a lot longer than I thought I needed to simply because I've had bad experiences mixing paint. It did a great job. The paint went on great, and it looks great. It was also very easy to clean afterwards. I used an matte acrylic paint. After I used it, it sat for about an hour. That was long enough for the paint to dry but not cure, and it peeled right off. I hate painting, period. But this thing sure does make it easier to start a job. If you have a drill, it's a no brainer. If you don't have a drill, add $35 to your project budget and save yourself a ton of time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/238959598-hm5n-narrow-helix-mixer](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/238959598-hm5n-narrow-helix-mixer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
