God i really feel old ;D tbh the new purpose made hand mixers are ok but will break under serious pressure i have one thats really old made from a bike cog welded together by a mate , these days it better to put a small paint stirrer atachment on a cordless combi drill, as mixing i multi by hand takes a bloody years for the plaster to set

hi m8,

i used them for years before the drills came out they are ideal for small walls ect its easy to make your own usually done with an old bike cog and a steel rod welded together, failing that as an ermergancy use a small Drain cover nailed to a small broom shank or similar, the ones u can buy range from ok to very femma, but they will do the job

i dont think it'd hurt to give a labourer a stick and a rake for a month ..........then give them the whisk
