ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a stirrer tool that includes a head component having a first body portion and a second body portion connected to the first body portion with a first plurality of projections extending substantially radially out from and substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of a body portion. Head component may also have a second plurality of projections extending in a substantially distal direction away from a distal end of the body portion, and all of the projections may be made of a substantially stiff material that is flexible enough to be bent to fit through an opening in a container that is smaller in diameter than a diameter of the head component and stiff enough to mix viscous products. The system may further include an elongate shaft, which may be coaxially aligned with and a distal end of the elongate shaft may be attached to the head component and the proximal end of the elongate shaft may be configured to be removably held in a device to rotate the elongate shaft.
