MAXXTMixer 13A Single Paddle Concrete Mortar Mixer, 5/8" Keyed Chuck, Soft Start, Come w/100mm Large Spiral Mixing Paddle

This mixer is exceptional great, and fantastic, that made me wished that I should have gotten it earlier than the time I got it.

Made it a lot easier to mix mortar in wheel barrow

So far it’s a great tool

For how few tiling projects we do this is the perfect mixer for us, gets the job done with little fuss for the right price. If I was mixing full time though, I'd look for something else. The RPM/speed control knob is a bit wonky and it's hard to select your desired mixing speed and maintain that. Finicky is probably a good word. Otherwise, seems solid enough overall and great for the DIY'er or occasional use.

Great tool

Have used this to mix a variety of products from mortar to planting mix. It is powerful enough to handle any job needed so far. An excellent tool to have available! Good value for the price.

Excelente muy bueno para el trabajo

The trigger unlock on this drill must be pressed to operate the trigger, but it can unintentionally lock, causing the drill to continue running. This is dangerous when using it as a heavy-duty drill, as it happened to me while drilling into a trailer frame. The drill bit grabbed, tore out of my hand, and wrapped the cord around the unit due to the trigger lock engaging.The description says you can use this as a "heavy-duty drill" but I found that to be dangerous when the trigger lock can unintentionally become engaged when unlocking.After three such incidents, I decided to remove the lock.I have 40,000 hours of experience in the field of electro-mechanical repair. I am after all an automotive technician/small,medium,and heavy equipment mechanic/Locomotive engineer/Locomotive machinist/ and currently working for a rental company repairing power equipment ranging from rotary hammer drills to extendable forklifts.Upon taking this drill apart:The cooling fan shroud should have been mold casted into the handle lower clam shell instead of the upper which would allow the handle and trigger assembly to be serviced without removing the armature and brushes.The brush/slip ring end housing reassembly was undesirable and was not made with service in mind, and the manufacturer had smashed/crushed the wires when installing the rear cover.The brush components are housed in a removable rectangular sleeve. To insert it, the spring retainer caps, contacts, and lead wires must be placed into a channel while squeezing the assembly together.I decided to route the wires into the intended path (wire routing notches and channels) to prevent them from being crushed when reassembling.When it was all back together I pulled the trigger without the need of pressing the lock button, I smiled… just then, the brushes began to smoke… a lot of smoke.Upon inspection I discovered that the smashed wires were not done so accidentally by the manufacturer, they were necessary to keep the brushes from tilting.Rerouting them into the channels that were cast into the original housing for the purpose of retaining the wires resulted in the brushes tilting and burning the armature.I would need to take it back apart and… Thud!!!I pushed it off of the bench, into the trash, now it's gone.
