This is my second Tar Pit. My first one started to turn slower and slower which finally stopped all together, while the main wheel still turned the cups did not. I loved it however when It did work 😁!! Had it for a little over a year , so I am VERY excited to have the 2.0!!!! This one came with silicone cups which is awesome and does a great job mixing epoxy (when working 😉) This time I hung it up on my wall too which is an AWESOME feature and space saver!! Hoping this one lasts longer!!! Thank you for making an awesome mixer!!!
