Buddy Tools Mix It 18" Mud Mixer – Durable ABS Paddle for Drill

Overview

Meet the Buddy Tools Mix It, an 18-inch mixing paddle designed to simplify blending in 1–5 gallon containers. Crafted from sturdy ABS plastic and paired with a rust-resistant zinc-plated hex shaft, this mixer aims to keep your buckets clean while supporting steady, controlled mixing for a variety of materials. It’s built to withstand regular use without sacrificing ease of use or control.

Performance and build

The elliptical blade sweeps through material in multiple directions, promoting a smooth, even blend with less manual effort. The non-porous ABS surface cleans quickly and resists buildup, while the zinc-plated shaft adds durability without rust or corrosion. The 18" reach improves access to larger buckets, helping you cover more area in less time.

• 18" length for better reach in larger buckets
• Compatible with common 1/2" drills for easy upgrades
• Rust-resistant zinc-plated shaft that lasts
• Elliptical blade design for thorough, even mixing

Versatility: materials and use cases

Designed to handle a range of blends, Mix It is well suited for projects like paint and primer, drywall mud, epoxy, and other liquid or semi-liquid mixes. In real-world setups, users notice smoother textures and more uniform color or consistency without excessive splatter. The tool’s straightforward attachment makes it a practical upgrade for both DIYers and professionals.

• Paint, primer, plaster, and mud in 1–5 gallon buckets
• Epoxy and resin blends for small to medium projects
• Reduced splatter and cleaner buckets compared to hand mixing
• Easy to attach and remove from standard drills

Tips for best results

For optimal outcomes, run the drill at a steady pace and avoid forcing the mixer through very thick materials. Rinse the paddle after use and dry before storage to help maintain the ABS finish and shaft integrity. Regular checks can keep the setup smooth and ready for your next project.

Care and maintenance

The Mix It paddle is designed to withstand daily tasks thanks to its rust-resistant construction and non-porous materials. Keeping the tool clean and dry when not in use helps preserve its performance and longevity over time.
