Dewalt Cordless mixer

3 year guarantee. Don’t know if that covers the battery. The time it’s saving is worth the money alone for me. I was getting sick of power leads

 

[S a plastering]

Thats why I wouldn't buy one.

We only bought one last year cos we had a big contract which was 3 storey so come in handg for top floors no elec on there either

 

[S a plastering]

That was my question

You can still buy a decent bucket an mix one bag without handle snapping

I know that...I would carry 1 bag underneath the bucket anyway.. the point im making is your funking about back and forth

cordless tools are the way forward they don't need to have the yearly electric test for site work.

Brilliant bit of kit, do about 8 bags a battery.

That all?

 

[Wilkie102]

9 bags a day some days battery always has life left

 

[essexandy]

So do you not mix more than a bag? And what if a handle brakes carrying mixes through?

I've never mixed more than one bag of finish ever.

What do you do if before you start you know a wall is going to take a bag & 1/4

I don't even mix a whole bag as a rule. 10ltr of water in the bucket and mix. If it takes more I mix up some more.
Most of my working life has been on new housing doing three hits/moves a day. All done mixing less than a bag at a time.

 

[jamesthefirst]

All depends on size of the room, if its big enough then yes mix in the room. I will mix oitside to get the ceiling done so ive got a frre run, then when its finished bring all the gear in to middle of room.
Hall, stairs and landing its got to be mixed outside, as said above only use wuality buckets with decent handles. Collomix black one is very strong.

[McPlaster]

Spin up 3/4 , wack it on, then anything left mix it with half bucket to lay it in. f**k the rest in the skip.

I'd mix up my 10ltrs of waters worth and then mix up however much more I need. I'd probably sling a hawkful of the first mix in with the second bit.
I have honestly never had a bucket that would take more than a bag with me when skimming.
