I had one of them sparky ones about 3yrs ago didn't last very long though, then sparks were coming out the top :-0

Got a similar one now it's ok.

But the £9.99 b&q drill is the best :RpS_laugh:

(I'm not joking either, shove refina up your arse) :RpS_lol:
 
B&Q's own brand drill for me. 20 odd quid and run it til it bursts!!! Now that is what i call value for money!!

I used to! Up here it's called a plodger or podger. Funny thing is I kept it in the van for about 5 years after I bought my first mixer .....and I've still got it in the shed in case I need it - if there's no leccy!!!!
 
mixing drill.jpg Got one of these. Can recommend highly:RpS_thumbup:. Lasted me about 5 years now just replaced propeller twice in that time. Always worth keeping a plunger with you 2. Sods law you'll get a power cut half way through knocking up second gauge!!

Just seen that that pic come up really small!! It's a Ryobi plaster mixer. Yours for about 200 quid...

They were always known as a plodger down here in Essex and you can mix a bucket of finish at least as quick with one as you can with a drill.

believe me, i can mix a bucket of finish with a drill quicker than i can with a podger
 
there's been a few occasions where i've had to mix up by hand, not quick but a nicer mix imo
 
never used a plodger before.... but have the electric go half way through mixing for second coat.... thats ****!

I neeed to buy a new mixer as someone nicked my transformer...and well quite frankily I have no interest in going back on site :)
 
Can't beat the bosch grw11e if you shop around you'll get one for just over the 300 mark pays for itself in a week strongest mixer i've ever owned last one is still going strong had it 8 years now :)
 
In Notts/Derby thats called a punch!! :RpS_thumbup:
I can remember when I was a labourer many moons ago (2 & 1 gang) & I had to mix for the two spreads in the (now) small yellow buckets with a stick & a punch.. It was flat out work for about a hour then you got a rest :)
Thank god for mixers & the flexi tubs!!!
