those. So, what is a good stir stick to use? Once again, you can just use these. I know they're starting to sell them now, but typically most paint stores, they're just free. And, you know, they're effective. They do work, but it's going to take once again probably two to three times longer than a really good stir stick. So, I was sent this stir stick. And the one thing I didn't really realize about this thing I and there's something kind of unusual about this thing and I'll show you just in a moment and I was like, "Aha, that is amazing." So, this is the one I typically use, but the shafts on these two, this one, this is a hide stir whip. This one is the shaft is a lot smaller, so it's going to go into almost all the different drills that you have. Some drills, the chuck is not going to be big enough to handle this one. This one is significantly heavy heavier. It doesn't have any paint on it. Now, once it gets paint on it, it starts to build up on there pretty rapidly. And this thing actually was really, really thick with paint. Um, and until I burned it all off and peeled it all off, but it was extremely heavy. This is very lightweight. But here's one thing that's pretty really really pretty cool, pretty rad about this thing. It's meant to go into a 5gallon bucket. So I don't have to take the lid off of a 5gallon bucket. It will slide right into the hole. Just push right down into the hole. And now it's in your 5gallon bucket. You don't have to take the lid or cut the lid to stir your paint. And then when you're done, you just pull it right out. Here's another thing. It's got these little feet on the bottom and the feet on the bottom will touch the bottom of your can and it's actually going to pick up and bring everything off. This thing is very, very effective when it comes to stirring paint. When I've tested them side by side, putting these two in, I feel like this one stirs the paint a lot faster and is more effective of whipping the paint up right here. Don't want to use this thing on lacquers cuz you'll get bubbles in your lacquers. I'm not sure. I haven't been using them that long. I'm not sure how long this plastic will last until it fatigues or breaks, but it's pretty flexible for, you know, going in and out of these 5gallon buckets. This size right here, you can use it in a onegon and a 5gallon. Very effective. I'll show you what it looks like stirring paint and how effective it is. Once you're done stirring your
