Robart Hobby Paint Shaker - Mini Review

[dilley340]

I went to a local train show in Novi, MI over the weekend and picked up a battery powered (4 "D" cell), Robart Hobby Paint Shaker. I paid $44 for it and it was new, still sealed in the box. It probably isn't the best deal I've ever found but hey, I didn't have to pay or wait for shipping. Anyway, I'm impressed with it so far. My test was with ancient Floquil paints I have had since the nineties. I strapped each bottle in and ran the shaker between 45 seconds to a minute. The shaker is a little noisy but worth the result. The images below show a before and after scenario and speak for themselves. I just thought I'd share my experience with you.

I've always wanted to get one of these, but never pulled the trigger.
I ran across one of these Vortex paint shaker awhile back, a little pricey but an option.
