## Overview

The ALLWAY HM5N Original Helix Paint Mixer is a patented, heavy-duty drill attachment designed for fast, uniform mixing of paints, epoxies, and viscous liquids in 3 to 5-gallon containers. Featuring a narrow polypropylene helix blade that fits snugly into pail bung holes, it minimizes splatter and air bubbles. Its 1/4" hex shaft fits all 3/8" or larger electric drills, ensuring a secure connection and easy cleanup, making it a must-have for professionals seeking efficiency and precision.

## 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: Joint compound consistency - Used for joint compound, smaller batches in large spackle tray added a little water, the results were phenomenal and all batches were consistent.
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!) Thanks

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ditch the mixing stick and go with these.
*by W***. on June 27, 2025*

These mix the paint thoroughly and are easy to clean. Well made, and should last a very long time. They were a bit of a workout for my M12 drill, but the M18 handled it fine.
