Do they make paint stirrers for 5 gallon buckets?

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.

All the 5 gal paint mixers I've ever seen are metal, they are readily
available. IDK what one you're looking at, the HD one that was posted
here is steel.





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.

IDK how thick his roof sealer is, but I mixed up old driveway sealer
very easily with just a 3/8 variable speed drill.
