Been mixing up my plaster with a drill attachment for years, but now I'm doing a full house renovation it's time to buy a proper mixer. Can anyone recommend a reasonable one for a decent price? Has anyone used the Erbauer one from SF?
Don't look bad for the money,fan cooled, never used one, got sds paddle for drill. http://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-e...0v/7163r#product_additional_details_container
Strangely going to be listing my one on eBay soon - haven't used it a long time as my cordless drills have enough torque to drive a paddle
Is there a downside to just using a paddle attachment on a combi drill? I was always wary of mixing to fast and putting air into the plaster, particularly when mixing a skim coat
Used to use a vitrex mixer, for 90quid a fantastic purchase but had to give it back when I left the company, I currently use an old corded makita drill with an sds adapter to take m14 threaded paddle mixer, fifteen quid in total, even better. Personally I can't stand erbauer, Chinese garbage in my opinion, save your money and put it towards something else.
Apparently the Aldi mixers they sell occasionally are pretty much bomb proof albeit a bit noisy...obviously only sold certain times of the year!
I picked up one of those Aldi mixers a couple of years ago, cost me £25 and it's as good as any other I've used.
Aldi actually have some very good products on offer and they usually come with a three year guarantee. Same for Lidl I believe
