Topps tiles own brand mixer. This is only used on big jobs. Otherwise it's mixing by hand for me. I sometimes use my Makita drill and a paddle I use for grout, but I think if I overuse it it will burn out the motor.

i got paddle mixer from Aldi. WORX brand. was £40 and is great value for money. cleaned with hammer occasionally....

I use a variable speed SDS drill and a large paddle and a flexi tub mixer for the adhesives.

For grout I use a bucket and bucket trowel. I prefer to mix the grout by hand so I can get the consistency just how I want it.

£39.95 paddle mixer from Lidl or Aldi - best value tool around. When I first bought a paddle mixer 15 years ago I told my son I didn't need him anymore!
He's still with me but now it's me that does the mixing.
As I struggle to lift a full bag mix it's usually just a half bag enough for a couple of metres at a time.
When we're on the geometrics it's normally a hand mix for the borders .

So why are you on the forum at 5.45 English time.
You having an early night when the old guy is away? I knew you only worked 11 hour shifts when he was there to keep you on your toes.
Sun, sangria and coffee con leche is what it's all about here!
