Paint Shakers

[Wulf Vengis]

I'm thinking about getting one of those little paint pot shakers. Something like this:

Anyone have any experience with these things that could lend a review or advice on good brands/models?

That looks pretty heavy duty for hobby stuff to me.

 

I'd look for a tattoo ink or nail polish shaker, they tend to have a little strap that holds the bottle in place, take up minimal space and shouldn't be too noisy.

 

Something like either of these:

just be sure not to hold your hands on extended times on them so you don´t get wrist proplems

Ya that's pretty much the one.

I've spotted them in a few painting videos and thought that it might be nice to not have my elbows clicking and locking up during the shaking. I started adding ball bearings to the paint jars but it just isn't enough and i can't seem to shake/twist at the elbows and shoulders like I used to. Wrists seem fine thus far but the body is starting to age. I am not the young pup i once was.

 

Thank you both for the advice. I'll be putting one of these on my "buy it soon" lost.
