Larger 8 mm paint agitators in the same 316L stainless steel, built for pots and jars with wider openings where a smaller ball would rattle without reaching the settled pigment at the bottom. They suit Citadel pots, Tamiya jars and large-format paint bottles. The molybdenum content in 316L protects against corrosion from the acids and solvents found in hobby paints, so the ball will not degrade and contaminate your paint over months of storage. Because steel outweighs glass by a wide margin, each shake drives the ball harder into the settled layer.
Marine-grade 316L steel — will not corrode or shed particles into your paint.
8 mm diameter — sized for Citadel pots, Tamiya jars and other wider-mouth containers.
Denser than glass, so they reach and break up heavy pigment more effectively.
Choose a quantity: 10, 25, 50 or 100 balls per pack.

Notes · Q & A
Sprue cutters or a hobby knife — what do I actually need?+
Cutters remove parts from the sprue cleanly; the knife trims the leftover nub and mould lines. You'll want both — they do different jobs.
What's the difference between single-blade and double-blade cutters?+
Single-blade cutters shear against a flat anvil for an ultra-clean cut with less stress on the plastic; double-blade cutters are tougher for general work.
How do I keep tools in good condition?+
Cut plastic only (never metal sprues or wire) with precision cutters, replace knife blades often, and keep files clear with a brass brush.

I came across Hobby Heaven and was instantly hooked in the different products/brands they offer and the prices. I use 8mm stainless steel BB in all my paints lots of different brands and since Brexit it's become harder to find supply as cost and postage. I highly recommend both hobby heaven and the 8mm stainless steel BB as they have the best weight for thicker paints such as Scale 75 , Citadel base range and AK Interactive 3rd Gen Acrylics. Everything came well packaged and arrived on time. Finding good range of named brand products and great prices all in one place is not always possible and only puts cost up with postages and also tracking multiple packages & delivery times. Definitely try Hobby Heaven.
