new paddle mixer, anybody used one of these?

[smidy69]

bought one of these mixing drills in july from ffx tools and its mixed 1000s of metres, smelt a burning smell coming from it once or twice but think i had the bucket too stiff with not enough water in it. still goin 100% at the min. some size of paddle comes with it!

well, it didn't last long.......was mixing up some grout on tuesday and got distracted, the paddle turned into a maypole with the cord wrapped round it, snapped the cord. Mrs Doug took it to work for sparky lecturer to re-cord it, tried it today and it was making noises like a horse that had been eating fresh grass! So nipped down to lakeland supplies and had to get another:mad2:

Bought mine from lidl for £35 ... No changing bushes for me. When it breaks chuck I and buy another. 12 months old so far. Mixed screeds, mortar, render, skim plaster, enveloping compound and tile adhesive with it. All easy.....
