I only see short ones that attach to a drill, and are made to mix gallon
cans of paint. I have several 5 gallon buckets of a roofing sealer that
have been sitting for years and settled. It's a tar-like material, and
rather thick. Stirring by hand seems near impossible. I just need a long
enough stirrer to put in my drill. I have a powerful industrial plug in
drill that should handle the job, if I can find an appropriate stirrer.
They certainly make them. Just be sure you get a paint stirrer not a
mortar mixer.

Bud, given that you're attempting to "rejuvenate" roofing sealer that's
"tar-like" I would opt for the wall board mixer shown on that same HD
page that gfretwell posted.
That mixer for 5 gallon paint is plastic and will probably spread piece
of plastic in the compound as soon as you turn it on. The wall board
mixer, I have one, is cast aluminum and might be up to the task.
As others have said, a variable speed ½" drill is mandatory as would be
a side grip to help fight the torque you'll experience until that stuff
begins to thin out to a usable consistency.
