I don't know how I lived without this acrylic paint.

I use this to stir up the acrylic paint I use to paint miniatures like the Warhammer 40k. With many paint brands, the paint is thick enough that it needs to be mixed really well or you won't get consistent results. I just could never hand shake the paint well enough with brands like Scale 75. Pros: + Mix color very well. Not right away, and it takes a little practice to master the technique. But nothing I've used matches this for consistent results. + It is actually very heavy, even if it doesn't look like it in the pictures. He's not dancing like I feared. + I've been using it for almost 2 years without any problems. Love it.+ Saves me from having to use a jigsaw clamp to shake paint which causes paint bottles to fly around the room at times at over 100mph making me fear for my safety and valuables. Cons: + It's expensive. Don't bypass it. Not everyone can justify the price of such a hobby mixer. But do I regret it? NOT FOR A SECOND. Now that I see what it can do, I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I have a lot of paint (200+ bottles) so some of it sits for months between uses. This really fixes issues and helps keep the paint in good shape. Highly recommended!
