Edward Tools Paddle Mixer 27” for 1/2” Power Drill - Industrial Paddle Mixer for Paint, Concrete, Drywall Compound and More - Speed Mixer Concrete Tool is Ideal Mixing Tool for 5 Gallon Bucket

This is an excellent quality tool for mixing thinset. Has a hex shaft of sturdy construction. Tool displays solid substantial welds and heavy gauge steel with a quality plating job. Tool runs true at speed and is well sized for use in a typical 5 Gal. plastic pickle bucket. Tool length puts an average man at a comfortable standing height when mixing with bucket on the ground. An ideal match for your typical 1/2" chuck 120vac powered 500-600ish RPM handheld drill from HF, this tool and that drill easily and quickly mixes a 50lb bag of thinset in the aforementioned 5 gallon bucket. It easily mixes a 50lb. batch in the 5/10/5 mixing window usually recommended by thinset manufacturers. Tool shape is formed so that it does not tear up the bucket either...a big plus IMO. Be smart and clean it off after each use. This will be a keeper tool, not one you use and toss.

Loaned out my drill with my 20 year old paddle mixer. Guy broke and threw it away. This was a close copy and am pleased with its construction. Cut off about six inches of the shaft just as I had with the other to get the drill lower when mixing concrete in a five gallon bucket. Will work perfect as my previous on had for years. Used on thin set, mortar, concrete , paint. Need about a 450 rpm drill or less. AAA+++

I mixed mortar with this, using the water first and adding mix until soupy thick. The other way of adding water to the mix failed. The big DeWalt drill froze and would not turn it. Or the tool wedged in mix, and the drill twisted out of my hands, even with the added handle to the drill. The tool itself did not bend. The shape of the paddles was very effective at mixing. Nice design, and good construction. I did a thorough job of cleanup and drying. No rust. If you are doing small batches (5 bags or less), a drill will get you there. If large batches rent a mixer. It is not the quality of this tool that is at issue.

I used this to mix concrete patching material (NewCrete) in a 5-gallon bucket. It did a great job mixing a even cleaning material off of the side of the bucket. It is very heavy duty and requires a powerful drill to spin it in concrete mix. Paint may be easier. I used my 1/2" Bosch Hammer Drill and it worked fine.

So far, I've used this paddle mixer to mix up about 20 buckets of mortar. Very impressed. Perfect size for 5 gallon bucket. Length of mixer is just right to allow average sized individual to stand fairly straight while mixing in a bucket. Using with a standard spade style drill and redi-mix mortar. Mixes batch as good as any paddle mixer I've used in past. Very sturdy construction, expect to last for years to come. Plating or finish is excellent, no signs of chipping or wear yet, and mortar rinses right off with hose during cleanup. Appears to be good value for the price.

I bought over 30 pieces of this mixer from time to time very good mixer love the product. Highly recommend recommended.

This mixer fits very well into my 1/2" drill and worked great mixing various paints and sealants for my concrete pad. We used acryllic paints and sealants and it made my life so much easier than trying to stir by hand! If you have a big or small job to handle with a 5 gallon bucket, this is a beast. Clean up was easy with a garden hose while the paint was still wet. Great time saver and value.

This works great on drywall compound just using my Ridgid cordless drill with an 18v 3amp battery. Also, I tried this on three different 3/8" keyless chucks and it fits nicely in all three - I just had to loosen then chucks all the way, and there was still plenty of "play" left to tighten it firmly.

Very well built and good price. Perfect for 5 gallon pails of anything needing to be mixed like grout, pavement sealer etc. Have used multiple times now and very happy with the ruggedness of this paddle.

This is a great tool. Nice and solid. Will get the job done and won’t break. Highly recommend

Good length. Easy to clean. This is the second type/brand I tried and wow this is much better than the Dewalt one I had prior. Mixes super well and consistently and quick too.

GOOD PRICE. DID NOT TRY IT IT'S FOR A PRESENT.

Used for tile work, grout
