Diablo Hand-Held Mixers Albany GA

Tile contractors spend a lot of time standing over a 5-gallon bucket mixing various setting materials, and most just use a 1/2-inch drill for the job. That's not an ideal approach, because the tool isn't purpose-built for the application. Always on the lookout for something better, we found the right tools for the job in the new Diablo DM800E and DM1602E hand-held mixers.

That's not an ideal approach, because the tool isn't purpose-built for the application. Always on the lookout for something better, we found the right tools for the job in the new Diablo DM800E and DM1602E hand-held mixers.

Both come with a 1/2-inch chuck for any hexagonal-shank paddles and an M14 threaded metric adapter to fit European-style paddles.

Unlike a drill's pistol-grip handle, the mixers' steering-wheel-style handle provides a really strong grip and lets the operator hold on tight with both hands. Distributing the load and control equally to both arms makes the mixer less tiring to use than a drill; our own tile-setting veteran says the tool reduced the tendonitis pain he's developed during 20 years of setting tile.
