That's fantastic!

I used a old long sawsall blade that I hose clamped to the can. Then I used the sawsall to shake the can which is a lot like a paint shaker. My build was essentially free as everything I used was old and wore out.

I built one. Great idea. And get this: It will actually mix natural peanut butter; that half-inch of oil on top before the jar is opened? Mixed in, ready to spread! Thank you!

This is exactly why I sub to your channel. Thinking "out of the box" solutions to common problem/issues and time savers.

Thanks for the heads up! Hate to think how many semi-full cans of WD40 cans I've thrown out. Despite sticking a straight pin in the nozzle on top, to shakin' the living 'you know what' out of the can, nothing brought the cans back to life. I aim to build me one just like you did. Hats off my man!

Thanks for this idea. I think you had an older video using a tin or aluminum can. I made one out of a can of corn or peas, but then "upgraded" to one of those taller cans of beans. Works great for stirring spray paint! You truthfully are the best crafty DIY channel out there, always producing enjoyable content as well!

Hey Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.

I made one of these the way you've shown here, and then I made another using an old empty propane torch cylinder. I pulled the Schrader valve rinsed it several times with soap and water, then cut the end off. I deburred the cut end and dipped it a bit in a rubberized coating. I welded a bolt onto the screw end and pained the whole thing black. It works wonderfully.

Great idea! With a 1/4-20 bolt, a coupling nut, and some loctite, it will fit in the drill chuck better.

Man oh man How do come up with all these great ideas. thanks

I made one too but I attached the piece of pipe to a reciprocating saw blade. Split the pipe down the middle and used a steel hose clamp to hold the spray can in place. As the blade goes back and forth it really shakes the can, not just spins it. But your device is good too.

Awesome! Just ordered all the parts needed from Home Depot. Thank you! Got the parts today and put it together in about 5-10 mins. Easy. Works great especially for orange peel texture. Thank you again!

He gets a lot of stuff at auctions, at the kerb, in lots, etcetera. You're right though, if you were to buy it outright and specifically for this project.

Love the simplicity. Another important reason for hand shaking the can is impart warmth from your hands into the aerosol and paint or other content. This helps to break up "clumping" of the solids that always sink to the bottom of the can especially after sitting for long periods.

@johnlacambra6004

I usually get a pot of water and heat it till boiling point and let it cool for about a minute. Then I throw in all my spray paint cans that im going to use and let it warm up in the water before shaking em up for use. I keep em in the water and keep the water warm until im finished. Every liquid sprays a lot smoother and better with stronger spray pressure due to the inside pressure of the can being higher from heat. You should try it.

Started to make one of these, but the urge for potato gun overwhelmed me.

GREAT idea and I am going to make one. Leaving the rag out induces some eccentric oscillation. With the rag tending to center the can, the contents to include the ball bearing, rotate at about the same speed as the can and the real mixing takes place when the can stops. This is why we hear the ball bearing spinning when the can stops. Some start and stopping while holding the mixer at a 45º may help.
