mixing drill

[liverpool_plasterer]

hello lads hope you are all well and keeping busy.
our main drill packed in a couple of days ago half way through a job so shot out and got a cheap whisk and threw it in a cheap old 240 drill i had. after a couple of days using it the labs been knocking up hipo buckets of finish in less than a minute, obviosly this aint going to last or even look at a bucket of dry wall or bagged render.
anybody recconmend a decent drill strong enough for heavy stuff but fast for finish. thanks lads

Megamixer would be your best bet mate.

Refina Megamixers heavy duty paddle mixers for plaster, render & mortars

You will find them cheaper if you spend a bit of time online searching.

The free tools can are VAT free and can be used on a wide range of hand tools, buckets etc.

I've always used the 1600 watt belle mixers, can't fault them mate. A guy near me sells re conditioned ones straight from belle usually around the 60 to 70 quid mark. You can buy a fair few of them to one mega mixer. Mine knocks 3 bags of dry wall up with no mither. Use it for small S and C mixes aswell.

You can buy under 2 of them for one megamixer if you go by new price.

Just for a balanced view, I have had my Refina megamixer for over 8 years, no service so far, never missed a beat, no strange noises from it yet and I suspect it will last another 8 years easily. They are bullet proof.

If a mixer let us down for one day it would cost us £300. Get a good one that wont let you down, it's worth the extra money.




@refina, does that review entitle me to a tool voucher too?

I have the same mixer mate, can't fault it either, flys thru dri wall, s&c, 6 years old an never been serviced:RpS_blushing:

Def agree - Refina megamixer are superb with the eibenstock motors!!
had mine for 6 years now - never had a problem and if you did they offer a 24 hour collection repair service(for a cost)I think.
Mine is great for finish and dri - wall - Hard wall - bonding - Tile adhesive - grout and even sand and cement!!!
Huge array of paddles to choose from.
Go on - you won't regret it.
Oh and think hard about the two speed ones. Mines a single speed with soft start and I love it but I did use someone else's that was two speed and found it very cumbersome. ((finish)Slow speed to start mixing or it splashes everywhere, once started and a bit thicker stop and change to top speed. Woe betide you if you forget to drop it into slow before the next mix!!! LOL)

 

[DannyMac]

I thought they all have soft start?

Mine is a 2 speed with variable speed on the trigger.

That sounds better. The one I used on a site just zoomed up straight away and I found the gear change awkard.
Maybe I'm used to by basic cheap one.

 

[Jace]

it would baz up straight away if the speeds on the trigger and you diddnt know, my eibenstock (exactly the same as refina just cheaper) is 2 speed soft start vairable speed on the trig aswell and its mustard mate

ill give you a bullseye for it mate

 

[richardbrown]

you dont change gears like a car when mixing...... the low gear is for heavy material the faster gear is for finish etc

 

[Jace]

diddnt take it mate ive got about 4 mixers at the mo and hes moved away so id have to drive down and get it

 

[lilharbs]

Shi7 mate,for 25 quid I would have got it couriered over.you would sell it for 3-4 times the price easy or saved it for whenever it's needed.:RpS_drool:
Actuall mate pm me with details,I'm dribbling at the prospect.

 

[Jace]

[lilharbs]

Damn shame mate.nevermind.

 

[Rhys]

Got a 2 Makita mixers (spare one in case other has to be serviced). Can't fault them, variable speed etc. only thing is the paddle is crap so had a bolt welded onto a better one. Had them several years now.
