Abstract: To provide mixing of paint in a 1 gallon can, a tubular member is passed through the handle of the 1 gallon can and suspended from a tubular handle held by the operator by members sufficiently short so the can is lifted from the ground when a person holding the handle has his arm extended downwardly and is standing. The user then gently moves his hand and wrist so as to cause a resonant pendulum-like motion of the can about the pivot points of the paint can handle so as to mix the paint within it.
