What drill/mixer is best ???

[kylethetile]

They have in another thread about mixers aldi also had one 3 years warranty but the festool is sexual

It'll look the same as any other mixer once you've skimmed an average size house with it....

snapped the cable on the makita one due to run on... had to bodge it for the next mix...

These used to a huge seller for us but became hard to source.

We will have them available again soon.

What do you guys think? Anyone used one?

Is it a Perles Ryan? If so,they are very good i was gutted when mine broke. Lasted over 10 years. I have the 1800w Eibenstock now and cant fault it

 

[Plasterers1StopShop]

It's the FLEX, they used to make for PFT back in the day.

We are looking at introducing them again

Pft used to do awesome mixer drills just very expensive at the time

Agreed, they were awesome but pricey. Used to be big sellers for us.

We have a good rate in place for these

Sounds interessting as handy to have a decent back up drill

 

[Marshy]

Keep me posted on it please Ryan

I ended up ordering a collomix Xo4 the thing that edged me to that was that it's pretty long so there's no bending involved in mixing and the handles all contoured looks a pleasure to hold

Yep... bending over to mix up is a pain... I am 6ft 4 and so get what you mean

I'd like to see the figures for the festool coz as u probably know festool don't make any old crap ice never heard anything bad about the quality of festool

Nice one ,
I ordered a negative paddle (£35) for mine they come with a positive which you might like.
The handles and whole machine are the biz.
Enjoy

I like the look of the pft mixer

They look good mate and I've always preferred the drill handle type rather than the double Handle ones, how much you looking at for these

 

[kylethetile]

I've always had a hand drill type my self but seeing the style of the handle on these tho I feel like I could get along with one

 

[kylethetile]

I'm the one I bought is 250 ish from Germany

I think it's an item that most have tried to forget.

 

[Arelewis]

I would advise the 1800w mate. I personally don't rate the dual paddle mixers

I recently used a Refina MM, they seem very sturdy/durable. I'm also in the market for one so thank you kindly for that bit of manufacturing info and the saving to be had on them

 

[Danny]

There is also eibanstock which is the same as the mm....

Not sure how it is spelt though

Eibenstock are the dogs dangles. Been working onsite last few weeks using a 110v, forgot how gutless/shite 110v is takes forever to knock 4-5 bags up :/
