Whilst other models might have a variable dial, the single-select options make controlling the mix a touch harder.

In any case, the tool is not heavy and you shouldn’t have any fatigue issues whilst mixing. It has some impressive figures in terms of mixing capacity and efficiency. Furthermore, this works with interchangeable paddles, which guarantees much more flexibility. For domestic DIY jobs, I recommend choosing a paddle mixer that weighs under 5kg . These are more manageable to use for long periods and shouldn’t cause any strain. Only choose a heavier model if you are comfortable supporting larger weights. The power is sufficient, with enough torque to work through stiff mortar, making this one of the best paddle mixers in terms of value for money. Whilst it may not have the professional-level capacity of some more premium models, it is sufficient for the majority of DIY tasks.There are five speed settings in total that can be adjusted using a dial on an upward-facing side of the handle. The speeds range from 300 – 725 rpm and can be easily altered whilst working, depending on the requirements of the material.

This heavy-duty plaster mixer makes a good choice for domestic and light professional uses. If you regularly mix materials that fall in the mid-viscosity category, such as cement and mortar, this mixer paddle is one you should consider. Pay attention to the spindles maximum mixing capacity and the maximum diameter accepted by the plaster mixer. If you put your paddle into more than it can handle, you may end up with a nicely curved spindle. Most spindles are more than strong enough and most good manufacturers will replace spindles if they break, assuming you are not doing something you shouldn’t be. Paddles or blades

The best paddle mixers offer variable speeds, giving you more control when mixing . Some models will offer gradual variation between speeds, whilst others will just have two set speeds. Used to facilitate the mixing of cement, mortar, adhesive, paint and other viscous liquids, paddle mixers can save time, energy and money. They’re easy to transport, versatile, and often save the need for hiring larger mixers. Ergonomically designed hand tools offer great comfort levels and your mixer should certainly be easy to use. It all starts with the weight of the tool; most portable models range from 3kg to 8kg. Make sure to go for a lightweight unit if your work involves heavy use, however, lighter tools that are also very strong often cost much more for obvious reasons. It’s hard to avoid water and dust in a construction setup. You will want to consider an airtight seal to ensure a great level of protection against these elements.

A high-quality mixer featuring a variable speed control to suit all materials, from 250 - 750min -1. Smoothly mixes to perfection, every time. Many smaller mixers have less substantial handles, and normally require hands to be positioned at differing angles to each other. As long as the machine is sufficiently light, this should still be comfortable. Plus, with smaller machines you are unlikely to be holding them for as long, as they will be used for smaller jobs. The handle is easy to work and the trigger is simple to use to turn it on and off. Variable speed control is obviously something you want in your line of work too. We feel that this model will not really produce as much power as you’d expect from a 1800w mixer. For home DIY jobs, like mixing plaster, paint, and cement, low-powered machines with around 850W of power are a suitable choice. These will generally be more affordable than mixers with a higher motor. If you want to mix higher-viscosity liquids, like glue, look for a motor of at least 1600W.Accidental damage, faults caused by negligent use or care, misuse, neglect, careless operation or handling of the machine which is not in use with Evolution’s user guide.
