I wonder if an electric drill with a mixing tip does the same mixing function as an Overhead stirrer, I know that the electric drill is manual, automatic, and does not have a timer, unlike the Overhead stirrer that is autonomous, automatic and has a timer.
but there is also a big difference between the prices of the two, the electric drill is very cheap compared to the Overhead stirrer, as well as being more powerful.
I look forward to an answer from an expert on the subject.
Thank you all!! ;)

will do the job, but you will have to hold it. while mixer can mix and you be away no need to enjoy any methylamine gas

Much noise and overhead stirrers almost don't make noise
Not durable, they will stop working soon if the motor is not brushless
They make sparks, so they can start a fire or explosion for some reactions

Other question I have about mixers is:
what is the difference between a cheap 100w mixer from Vevor we can buy on aliexpress for 65 euros and the 500 or 1000 euros mixers?

drill is bad idea. it will not last long as it is not designed to run continously.
but fan will do the job. cheap fan can be upgraded to overhead stirrer. fans are cheap , brushless and speed-adjustable

Yep somebody got it before I did fans a ceiling fan is great to use as a alternative for a consistent steering mechanism I have attained this knowledge from clandestine lab books The key thing is the stir has to be flexible and long enough to be able to handle the rotations from the ceiling fan motor

Definitely some key points for mentioned on this thread a drill is horrible especially if you're around fumes that are flammable or explosive or combustible is what I mean since there's a spark inside the drill motor also not a consistent power source and plus you would also have to be standing above your concoction the whole time to stir and that's just waste a lot of productivity and also there's some things that you have to stir for overnight or 24 hours or 48 hours there's no way that you can make a drill last even 10 minutes straight for 20 minutes straight and not feel the urges of wanting to quit a ceiling fan and overhead sure is the best concept to use I will try to get the illustration for you as soon as possible

an electric drill is widely used in clandestine chemistry, anyone even remotely familiar with underground synthesis would know this... just use a drill and fit it to the lid of the reaction cube to avoid any scares like getting wet or jump an electric spark... but each one is free of his choice..

As with all this it will take and need some adjustment to be able to make it a good tool but with a little ingenuity it works perfectly for many syntheses and adjusts to your needs, there will also be exceptions, logically
