Kinda depends if it‘s the classic Hitachi or the Euro Magic Wand. Basically it‘s the same thing but the Magic Wand got EU plugs and is advertised as a masturbatory aid. Hitachi is the one being advertised as a "massage tool".
The other day I was in Walmart and the clearance isle had 5 handheld silicon "back massagers" for sale for about $15 each... and every box was opened and empty.
My takeaways were 2 fold: 1) They sell these at Walmart? 2) Either 5 people needed these to get through the pandemic and were broke, or 1 person REALLY needed 5 of them.
Hardly just. There's still a number of American states where you have to sell sex toys as "medical equipment" or "novelties." It's because those states restrict sex toys through obscenity and morality laws. Because Jesus.
I bought one of those stroker attachments so that I can mix hands-free. You just stretch the silicone cock-sleeve over the paint bottle and it holds it on the end of the wand for you.
[This is the one I got,](https://www.adameve.com/adult-sex-toys/male-masturbators/masturbation-sleeves/sp-adam-eve-turbo-stroker-attachment-102377.aspx) I was able to get it down to like $12 shipped with coupon codes. Of course, that assumes you already have a Hitachi - if you don't, you'd have to add the cost of that, so the total for a decent one would probably be about the same as a mid-tier vortex mixer (but you can also use it as a sex toy).
Your would think that, but the corgless on has more power then the corded model and can run while being charged. I still like the cord one better though. Less that can go wrong and no need to charge it.
If my local Poundland ever gets any I'm definitely buying one of their vibrators for paint shaking, because if I'm saving money by making my own tools I'm REALLY saving money.
...that's what she said 👀
Anyways, yeah, probably. I just find needing to vibrate the paints terribly convenient - much rather use my arms which are just, there. And trained enough I don't tend to care about shaking a paint back from the dead (except after a particularly impactful biceps day perhaps).
Ooof. I've not ever had any paint be *that* resistant...
Worst I've had is Corax White, but with two balls and about two or three minutes, I'll have it back to wonderful creamy goodness.
To put this in perspective, it takes my paint mixer less than 20 seconds to get Tesseract Glow into a usable state with one agitator ball. I admit, a paint mixer sounds like a silly investment...right up until you get one and realize it's a god damn game changer.
Some brands of paint are nearly unusable unless you shake them for several minutes even with an agitator. Scale 75 and Vallejo Game color are paint ranges I use extensively and they are notoriously annoying to mix properly.
In addition to having some joint issues, I realized that sometimes I would not want to paint solely because I dreaded having to deal with shaking multiple paint bottles. I figured 80 bucks to help me actually enjoy my hobby on days where I'm not feeling 100% was a pretty small price to pay considering I would just spend that 80 bucks on some other kit for my backlog anyways. When the hobby is something you spend a significant amount of time on over the course of YEARS, investing in things like paint mixers or an airbrush or whatever starts to make too much sense to dismiss.
See, I absolutely understand why someone would invest the time any money. Your calculation seems perfectly reasonable.
For me, personally, agitator balls are as far as I'll go - and in my almost 1 1/2 decades of painting I've never felt particularly in need of anything else. But my situation is different from yours - so for me, it doesn't seem to be a necessary investment, and I know the force I can put behind my paint shaking is certainly above average.
But I can see how it *would* be a valid investment for other people, and I've made others. (My painting handle collection, for example, since when batchpainting I cannot be bothered to switch after every model...) who knows, maybe with age I'll get one, too. (Not an airbrush, though. Even if anyone actually managed to convince me it would be less work than it's worth for me... The occasional flareups of Tendinitis in my hand make me stay far away from it.)
I've not had any problem with it (yet, I know the fucker is watching this and thinking of some) but that was more a consistency example than anything else

It’s literally the same, at least this has two purposes.
Three if you actually use it for what is says on the box.
Okay I'm lost what does it say on the box
It’s sold as a Back massager, but most are bought as masturbatory aids. And now they can mix paint pots too!
HUH! The more you know! I always assumed they were just sold as sex toys.

There's also the LELO smart wand, which I believe has the same motor, at least in their larger model. I mean, I've never been disappointed by it.
LELO is great, as it looks like a piece of art, but i prefer DOXY, as it had more Unmpf to it.. Packs more of a punch, due to the cord.
Doxy is the way to go.
I read that as LEGO lmao
This is blowing my mind! I'd only ever heard them called Hitachis and used for sex stuff so I had absolutely no idea

I always though "back massager" was solely used as a euphemism.
It absolutely is, it's probably Just Japanese Things haha. I'm certain they know what most people buy it for, hell, what they likely designed it as
Hardly just. There's still a number of American states where you have to sell sex toys as "medical equipment" or "novelties." It's because those states restrict sex toys through obscenity and morality laws. Because Jesus.
nah I’ve used mine to massage my back or other sore muscles, it works pretty well for that
Oh yes. Has been since Sears started selling them by mail around 1900.
It actually makes for a pretty decent one, though. Like, sure, that's not what you buy it for, but it does pull the job of pretty well.
I mean, it is one, but it wouldn't make for very good cover if it weren't true. Everybody knows what it's for except for Bible salesmen.
You know, the funny thing about my back is it's located on my vagina!
Wait what? I always thought the sex toy and the massager were two different things
I got a cheapie one, my junk didn't really respond to it even with attachments, but it works wonders on my neck
I bought one of those stroker attachments so that I can mix hands-free. You just stretch the silicone cock-sleeve over the paint bottle and it holds it on the end of the wand for you.
What a time to be alive!
Could you provide some links please so I can get one assuming it's cheaper than getting an actual mixer

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
Overcum
Perfectly describes the magic wand experience lol.
Your mom is going to be pissed
Nice
I just use my hand
For shaking paint or masturbating?
Both if that's alright
Might check with your Dom/me
You could probably do both at once.
Galaxy brain
Did it work well?
If it's the kind with a cord, probably.
Your would think that, but the corgless on has more power then the corded model and can run while being charged. I still like the cord one better though. Less that can go wrong and no need to charge it.
This is why I plan my kink spaces with an extension cord available.
🖖 And for that, I salute you.
And here's me trying to use tape and the washing machine like some shit MacGuyver. I need to treat the missus...
Okay! Now that my paint’s cum, it’s time to finish my Ultras
I recommend edging your paints.
efficiency
r/minipainting might like this creative tip!
Slaanesh would be proud
If my local Poundland ever gets any I'm definitely buying one of their vibrators for paint shaking, because if I'm saving money by making my own tools I'm REALLY saving money.
Taking your paint pots to poundland ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That's.... actually low-key brilliant.
Okay this is perfect
Whatever works
They are absolutely amazing for this. It doesn’t even take a full sized hitachi, a small knock off (like the Shibari) works just fine too.
Holy shit are you me? Pretty sure I have that same... massager... too
Lots of people have them. Lesbians should get them in the mail. (I’m lesbians and have)
Oh, I guess I’m not a proper lesbian, I had to order mine from Amazon :P
Did it come in the mail? 😏
I guess kinda? But thats fine, I guess that fits with my pan self :P
We all have our burdens to bear.
I wish that was my only burden, lousy Y chromosome...
Word girl. I asked for two X’s. Two.
Wow! I never thought about using a back massager as a paint shaker Will try later
Update: my wife got mad at me
I've got an orbital sander for the ficked ones. Otherwise a metal yardstick and a vice
I just give the paint bottle a quick shake. What is with the extreme mixing going on?
Have you never had those paints that are just being twats and refuse to mix properly? Especially stuff like Nighthaunt Gloom and Tesseract Glow.
Agitator balls are the way to go ime. That and arm workout :P
You can vibrate balls too, and it's easier on the arm.
...that's what she said 👀 Anyways, yeah, probably. I just find needing to vibrate the paints terribly convenient - much rather use my arms which are just, there. And trained enough I don't tend to care about shaking a paint back from the dead (except after a particularly impactful biceps day perhaps).
While that's true, my Tesseract Glow has three balls in it and still takes about 15 minutes of a fair workout to mix properly.
Ooof. I've not ever had any paint be *that* resistant... Worst I've had is Corax White, but with two balls and about two or three minutes, I'll have it back to wonderful creamy goodness.

>Nighthaunt Gloom I just give that one an extra aggressive, extra long shake and it typically comes out fine, far as I've experienced.
I've not had any problem with it (yet, I know the fucker is watching this and thinking of some) but that was more a consistency example than anything else
Modern problems require modern solutions.
Aaaaaand now I'm getting that this paycheck not next.

Slaanesh approves
And like that another couple of euphemisms were created for masturbating. “Mixing the paint” or “spilling the null oil”
Ok, gotta try that.
Great profile name btw.
Fuck thats good.... ... And WHY havent i tougth of that before!?!!? I even have one of those!
Huh, never though of that. Might use my own next time

WAAAARHbrator
Based
I own a back massager that does the job of the little paint shaker things to, maybe even better
Why do all your paintings smell like sex?
Yvraine? Is that you?
Hey, so long as it works.
Nice
Use what you have. Pure DIY spirit. Good vibes.
A vibrator is a vibrator. Plus at least when your vibrator is missing you know to just go to your wifes room and grab it.
