Paint & Mortar Mixer| 16" L,3" Dia Compound,Sealer,Grout,Thinset,Plaster,Mud,Cement Mixer Stirring Paddle -Professional Paint Mixer Attachment-Zinc Plated Steel (Style# 03)

Mixes well but it using on mortar it sticks to it. Had to force it off. But the construction is stronger than I thought it would be.

Great value for money. Awesome for DIY projects -- was able to make a bucket full of tile mortar with a 50lb bag using this tool.

Used the big one for mixing large amounts of pancakes and works very well on a drill however two small ones I have not found a good use for yet as they do not mix very well

I've used for paint and skim coat products, no complaints, good value

In almost 35 years of projects involving mortar, cement, grout mixers I have had several, they all performed ok. then after a few uses got thrown out as they would just fail.This one has blown my mind.Yes!I bought it and immediately put it to use mixing several hundreds of pounds of concrete and then mortar, yes hosing off in between (you have to) but what I found interesting was the mortar would not stick to it, the hose just well blew it all off.So the Cement and Mortar were finally done, tile installed. Now its time for grout - still a mix but a different type of mix (if you know you know!) With grout it is less forgiving so your water has to be right but the mix has to be as well if there is powder (mix) left on bottom when you start to spread you run into very big trouble with having to add water and thin etc etc its not fun.This mixer was sport on perfect mixing a total of 150 lbs of grout (not all at once)Rinsed it off and you'd think it was brand new other than the stock being gone.BUY THIS! If you do any sort of project that requires a drill attached mixer this is the one to get.I actually threw away the other 3 I had no need for them, I bought a 2nd one of this.

Often having gaps of time between projects I find that opening a bucket of joint compound or paint after it has sat for months or even longer the product has separated. Spackle has a layer of water on top, or the top four inches of paint is clear, and all the color settled.I’ve used a few stirrers in the past. Wooden paint sticks or dowels take forever and hurt your wrist and forearm. I’ve used metal pieces that kinda work, but used in a high speed drill deforms them due to centrifugal force.This looked very sturdy from the pictures and the spiral shape made it look like it would create upward movement. (Or downward in reverse depending on the intent) the price was fair. There were others a little less and several much more money. This was that “Goldilocks” kind of item. Not too big, not too small. Not too cheap, not too expensive. Not too flimsy, and not too M1 Tank.I chose wisely. This was perfect. Mounted on my 18 volt Ridgid cordless varying speed drill it took under four minutes to get a completely separated half full 5 gallon bucket of spackle rich and creamy and ready to use.Slowly lifting the device out of the bucket while spinning at high speed Cleaned 95% off of it. I ran it under the faucet with water running and the drill fairly slow removed much more. A gentle rub on the underside and a final rinse had it ready to go. High speed pulse shed most water and it’s ready to go again.Can’t wait to try it on paint. Should be next weekend after the spackle is dry and sanded.

I have a big job replacing mortar on the foundation of my 1888 house. I used to mix mortar in a plastic tub with a hoe, but wanted an easier way to do it so I bought one of these. I mix about 2 gallons of mortar at a time in a 5-gallon plastic pail, using a Ryobi battery drill. It works great and is much easier than the old way.I get about ten buckets of mixing out of a battery. I do think I'm wearing out my drill but they're cheap.

They fall apart.
