I use one of those battery-powered cocktail mixers ($6.00); cut the end off one of the attachment ends, drill a hole, cut the eye off a modified hook (used a Mustad 34011, I think) and epoxy it in the hole. If you want to change the direction, just flip the batteries and it rotates in the opposite direction. Regards, Scott
