Tamiya 74017-400 300074017 Paint Stirrer Metal Set of 2 Silver

Nice paint stirrers. Definitely saves you money since you have permanent stirrers and won't have to replace disposable ones. Easily wipes clean just using a little paint thinner or airbrush cleaner.

As of late I’ve been going back through some of my many art supply purchases over the years and reviewing the ones that stood out in order to hopefully help other artists make informed purchases, and this set of two pain stirrers is definitely an exceptionally helpful product that warrants a five-star review!While the product photos are a little lackluster, I've gone ahead and attached some photos to hopefully better show you why these two metal paint stirrers are amazing, and why if you've never owned one (I hadn't until last year!), why you're missing out.For years and years, if I had bottles of acrylic paints or enamels that had separated, I would usually mix the paints with either the reverse side of a paintbrush or a metal sculpting tool. It was anything but precision work, because sometimes they were a bit too big for the bottles or might sometimes have flakes of old, chipped paint that would flake off into the paint mix (arg!), but you did what you could to mix the chemical components back together. The same often went for mixing paints on my palette: I usually used either the reverse side of my paint brush, or the bristled side, which could sometimes lead to brush damage. For the bulk of my life, I assumed this is simply how artists mixed paints, and that we all longingly looked into paint bottles and muttered how we couldn't get the hard-to-reach bits.I purchased this set of stirrers on a whim because I figured that for a few dollars each, it couldn't hurt to see if I found them helpful. In the end, I'm exceptionally glad I did, because they are absolutely fantastic at what they do. While this listing doesn't mention what metal they are made from, I suspect it might be stainless steel. They are all one piece and clean up with ease, and have two different tips. The one side is a flat palette shape, and the reverse side is sort of like a small scoop. Between these two shapes and sizes, it's incredibly easy to reach inside of even the smallest and thinnest paint bottles and really stir your paints, or else you can use them to directly mix your paints on your palette without having to muck up any of your precious brush heads or awkwardly mix the paints with the handle of your brushes.They work just fantastically, and while I already own one set of two, I'll be purchasing a second set as well, and have already told many of my artist friends about these great stirrers. I have not a single complaint about them and would highly recommend them to any who works with bottled or tubed paints.I am a longtime Amazon Prime customer who enjoys writing reviews in my free time.

For years I have stirred my paints with the tail end of a brush or a cocktail stick or whatever small item I had laying around. I was given these by a friend who said I should try them out.These are basically very small spoons with a flat end. They appear to be made of stainless steel, but I'm not certain. They are strong and should hold up well. For paint mixing these are just awesome. The flat end gets into the corners of the bottle does a great job of mixing the paint. The spoon end is perfect for scooping out paints onto a pallet. The whole thing cleans up surprisingly easy. For acrylics I just hold it under running water and it's like new again. For enamels I just stir them in thinner and they are good to go.At the end of the day you probably don't need them, but now that I have them I use them all the time.

these little paint stirrer's are really good at what they were made for. not much you can say about them. they are about 5" to 6" long with a paddle shape on 1 end and a small scoop on the other. easy clean up. not very large in diameter but seem to be strong enough for they're purpose. to tell the truth, i bought them to get free shipping as they were cheaper than shipping cost on my order. so why not add something that i can use and get my order shipped free? and i will use them more than i thought when i ordered them.

I have a lot of modeling tools and paints. This stirrer is probably a luxury, but it's worth it. The stainless metal cleans up easily with lacquer thinner. The material is very slick so you can clean it without any dust or particles remaining that would contaminate paint. It is narrow enough to reach into any jar. It doesn't have a large surface area, so you are not wasting a lot of paint when you dunk it into the jar and paint gets on the stirrer. It's small enough to get into the corners of the jar and dislodge anything that has settled into the corner. It's specifically for small model paint jars, so do not expect it to be as large and heavy as a screwdriver. It is 6" long and 3/16" wide at the widest point. Overall, this is a great tool, I use it every time I paint.

I never thought I would be impressed by stirring sticks, but these are nice! Clean-up in a snap due to the stainless steel. Even if your paint dries while on the stick, it flakes off with little effort. Also, it reaches into those tight areas at the bottom of the bottle with ease and the small spoon is useful for mixing the exact amount you need. The paddle at the end is big enough to mix paint quickly without creating bubbles. I have a feeling these stirring sticks will last a very long time, and if I lose them during that time, it will get another pair of these without delay.

Great for stirring small paint pots. Simple to clean. Great little tool to have.

I already have a set of these but I lost one so I'm here to re-up. I do a lot of paint by number and these are great for mixing flow aid into the little cups the paints come in. Highly recommend.
