Great idea, this is my second

Extremely bright and easy to switch out. Switch between power levels is easy to do. I would recommend it to a friend.

I have two of them now but this one as a replacement in a new feature

This is my second one as I left the original behind on vacation. Wish the Velcro was a little more durable but great invention

Loved it , unfortunately lost it. Actually considering getting another

Right off the bat, great idea. If you any types of smaller paint bottles (model paints, airbrush paints, effect makeups) you've probably dealt with needing to evenly mix the paints before each use. The idea here is simple: Essentially a blender on a stick that fits into the bottle of paint and lets you mix the paints with a touch of a button.

The item comes as 2 pieces: The handle and the mixing stick. This lets you detach the stick for cleaning or storage/travel.
Note: This requires 2x AA batteries, not included.

The price is definitely right -- I'm actually surprised they didn't ask more for it.

The mixer has a single on/off switch (no power controls, it's either on or off). The mixing stick is about 5 inches long and should fit into most paint bottles up to about 4-8 ounces.

The mixing 'blade' is about half an inch, so make sure your paint bottle can fit that. I found that most 0.5+ ounce bottles will work fine, but the smaller 0.125, 0.25 and 0.33 ounce bottles I had were too small. Some 0.5 ounce bottles may be too small, so check first.

Actual usage: This is where it has some issues. If you have a bottle of paint with no agitator balls inside, this will probably do a better job. If you have agitator/stainless steel/marble balls inside your paint, those will do a better job, make less of a mess/waste and be quicker.

First problem: Using this requires you to not only stick the mixer into the paint, but to also raise/lower the handle into the paint to evenly mix it. Problem is, any paint on the stick (from putting it lower into the bottle) will spray everywhere once raised out of the paint. I ended up putting a small paper/plastic cup through the stick to help "cup" the top of the bottle and catch any paint that spray.

Second problem: The motor on this thing is unfortunately pretty weak. Using this to mix any thicker types of paints (I'm using it on alcohol-based effects paints), you'll see the motor come to almost a stop when trying to mix it. It almost becomes as useful as a stick in mixing paint.

Third problem: Paint waste and cleanup.
Some paints are expensive. I pay about 18 bucks for 1 ounce of effects airbrush paint, so you try to make sure you get to use every bit. The second you dip this into the paint, it holds onto quite a bit of paint once removed from the bottle. You can let some drip back, but you still lose a bit.
When mixing, everytime you lift the mixer out of the bottle, paint sprays off (see complaint #1), since this is required, you're constantly picking up paint (when dipping the mixer in) and spraying it around (pulling the mixer out). When done, you've still got paint all over the mixer.
Admittedly, you're not losing a half bottle with every use, but it's still something.
Cleaning: After each use you'll need to clean it so it doesn't dry on to the mixer or mix with other paints. I found the cleanup to be relatively easy but the process itself and needing to repeatedly clean it to ensure you're not putting the blue paint you just mixed into the white paint you're about to mix.

Overall: It's a nice idea. I found the best use to be if you're mixing paints together (pour some red paint and some blue paint into a cup, use this to mix them) opposed to actually mixing paints in the bottles.

My suggestion: Look into stainless steel mixing balls. Add a few of these to your bottle of paint, give it a 10 second shake and your paint should be well mixed without the cleanup, without the loss of paint and without needing to buy a new item.

I have two of these, and they both work great!

Great product, ordered a second for my wife and we use it everywhere.

My second one, used for a school project thanks!

Love it, actually this is my second, someone dropped the first one I bough  on the lake and I had to replace them.

Great idea, however my first one broke (upper keys stopped working) . Customer service is excellent and a new product was shipped to me right away- however this one automatically acts like certain keys are pressed when others are (inserting "iu" whenever I just wanted an "i".

I love it, does just what it was suppose to do, buying another one.

Great idea, works great, bright if needed and multiple settings are awesome. But I wish the plug was a mini usb like all my other lithium battery products, not some type of dc adapter.  I don't need another power adapter to get lost or burn out.  A car charger included wouldn't be bad either.

Its my Second one, and i love it. First one was lost

This is actually a pretty neat idea, and I'm sorry not to give it the fifth star.

What's provided is what appears to be a kind of unisex "primitive art" necklace (or perhaps a piece of jewelry from of those moderately overpriced women's clothing catalogues, with a thin, lozenge-shaped piece of white Zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic that serves as the scraper surmounted by a sliding toggle made of Ferrocerium, a man-made metallic material that is capable of producing sparks as hot as 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit  (1,650 degrees Census) when you rapidly scrape the ceramic scraper along its side. The necklace itself is dark brown leather, with a pair of double fishermen bends allowing you to adjust the size.

It's the sort of fire starter that works best with dry tinder, vice gels such as Sterno.  I've found that one of the very cheapest sources of tinder is also one of the most efficacious- - dryer lint.  A great many years ago when I was with a volunteer fire department in Vermont, we had a couple of dryer fires in a short period of time.  Curious, I experimented on my own and discovered just how easy it is to get dryer lint smoldering from just a few sparks.  I remembered that when I was offered the opportunity to evaluate and honestly review this product and was sent a sample at no charge, and so I tried it again with the Bushcraft Fire Starter Necklace, with great results.  [I keep a used medicine bottle filled with lint in my kit and just pinch out a bit when I need it.  In combination with this necklace, it's easy to be prepared.]

My one disappointment with this necklace is that it only remains attractive if you don't actually use it.  The Ferrocerium toggle is black until you use the ceramic scraper on it, and then you learn why it's called a scraper-- it scrapes the black protective paint of the steel, leaving silver scratches. If you remember to only use the scraper on one side of the 'steel' it'll continue looking good, but that's the only way.  And hence the loss of the star.  If this weren't advertised as a necklace but just as an updated flint and steel, it wouldn't matter, but since it's marketed as a necklace, it would be better if it remained attractive beyond the first use.

Excellent idea.  I have easily carried this with me on hikes and have used it to include myself in shots by placing on logs and hanging from saplings.

Where it comes up a little short is that the leg joints don't quite articulate enough or "lock" quite enough to easily grab onto things.  Same problem with using it just as a tripod, as the closest joints to the mount don't flex enough to make an easy tripod configuration.  You have to be careful, whether gripping onto things or standing it up, to make sure you have your grip or perch solid enough.

Otherwise, love it!

Like this item so much I just purchased another!

This is the second one I've had, the first I had to leave in another state due to size. I'm a fan, it's a little slow, but it saves me dishes and energy.
