What drill/mixer do you guys use?

[Natwasere]

Oh dear hope

Hope yours work's ok as mine is shite compared to my eibenstock

Ahhh man

 

[Marshy]

Ok nice one! Just thought it might be ok because of the make and seeing as the cement mixers are good. I'll look into the eibenstock's then.

You won't regret it mate my belle mixer is in the garage doing nothing. My eibenstock is used every day and never missed a beat. Watch this it will f**k**g break today lol

 

[Marshy]

Ahhh man

Send it back mate. Trust me I'm not trying to wind you up they are f**k**g wank compared to either the eibenstock or Bosch or megamixer.

Lol. Hope you ain't cursed it mate. Do you have the orange one? Is it also good for knocking up small gauges of sand and cement? Cheers!

Yes it's orange and it can easily knock up 4 bags of sand with cement. Doing a fireplace today in fact in coloured sand cement and it's only 3 bags of sand but keep it in 1st gear takes no time at all it's very torquey mixer

Get the 1800w mate will do you 10 years + easy pal. Likewise have top banana day

I have a makita 1800 only because it was given to me by Makita Good mixer though

 

[GrantyBoy]

i would not purchase a mixing paddle under 1800. we have a eibenstock now they usually last about 3 years.

3 years? seriously that's some going they should be well outlasting the 3 year mark.

Now that would be a great competition prize

 

[Fatarm]

Four, one baggers

 

[PlasterCraftDundee]

This may be a stupid question, but I just got the mega mixer delivered, what situation would I need to change the gears?

Start in 1st get your mix something like then go to 2nd to whip it up nice and lovely

 

[PlasterCraftDundee]

Yeah there is but what reason would I have to switch from 1st to 2nd?

[CeeVee]

Wouldnt buy anything less than an eibenstock.
Any of you lads who dont use eibenstocks are chancers or coursers lol

 

[PlasterCraftDundee]

Thanks lads

[Danny]

[Natwasere]

Done the right thing, cancelled order then ordered the alfra . ....... problem is it ended up at a £500+ order lol

 

[brimplas1]

Which one? Belle or Parkside?

The belle..Ive a mega mixer as well which is better... but not worth double the cost...

 

[Marshy]

Now that would be a great competition prize

Expensive tea stirrer tho? I borrowed a Makita off a builder mate and it was bloody useless just like the belle took forever to mix 2 bags up ffs

 

[Natwasere]

What paddles do you lot use? Using a 140mm neg one on the £35 aldi one. Not sure what's going to come with the alfra.... should get it tomorrow though

I never used one, just liked the idea of a giveaway

I have 2x160 negative and positive, find it small things for doing 2 bags + should get a 200mm one

 

[CeeVee]

Got a 200 neg.
Great for churning the stuff round plasterers buckets.
No good for the DIYers or coursers with those daft yellow gorrilla tubs though. You need a smaller paddle for those.
