beaters
Kitchen mixing tools
Beaters are tools or devices used for beating—mixing bowls have egg beaters, rugs have carpet beaters.
In hunting, beaters are people who flush game from cover by beating through brush: The beaters drove the pheasants toward the hunters.
A beater is also a worn-out car that still runs: I drove an old beater through college.
In combinations, beaters denote devices that handle whatever precedes: eggbeaters, world-beaters.
