Ive been buying Badger hand held paint mixers for years . They mix the paint in the bottles very effectively and they were reasonable inexpensive! my latest one was on its last legs and I went to order a new one from Micro Mark. The price was $10.45 , it went up ,but still not too bad. When I got to the shipping cost it was almost as much !! it would have almost doubled the price of the order ! . I decided not to buy it. Recently while in a grocery store (Shop Rite in my case) I saw a drink mixer ! I wonder!! I bought it and was going to experiment with the blade when I realized all I had to do is pull the old blade off my Badger and stick it on this drink mixer ! it worked great ! fit perfectly. and was only 5 bucks !!Give it a shot ! Its the same size and even comes with batteries.

Hey Louis, great find! Could you post a picture, or give us the brand name and model number, so we can all pillage Shop Rite?

Im going to attempt to send a picture of the new mixer with the old badger shaft on it, however I never had any luck sending pictures ! I will get the name brand for you when I go to shop - rite in a few days .I threw the package away and there's no name on the mixer .Their hanging from a card over the soda aisle .

Hi Antonio I had both badger and trumpeter badger is much better quality,and lasts twice as long. But this one is $5 no shipping charges ! Its a drink mixer !

I hear you Lou,I know you are on a fixed income now

LOL Anthony ! just galls me to pay almost double for shipping ! the m drink mixer in Shop Rite works just as well for $5 . I spent almost $250 at the Danbury show, I usually don't worry about money! even retired . lol

I had my motor go in my Mixer a couple weeks ago after about 10 years of service. I couldn't find a replacement locally, but I happened to pull it apart before going out and while I was at the LHS, I saw they had electric motors there..and one of them looked nearly identical to the one in the mixer. I got it for $3.95 and just had to solider one part on it and I was good to go!

very nice. this mixer was $5 and I just had to pop the old blade in . took 2 seconds

I just use a piece of brass rod, bent at 2 90 deg angles and stick in my Dremel.
