Product Information
Full details
The Faithfull Plasterer's Mixing Wheel is an essential hand-tool designed for professional plasterers and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable way to mix plaster, mortar, and other construction compounds manually. Its primary strength lies in its durable construction and ergonomic leverage, though it is strictly a manual tool, meaning it lacks the automated efficiency of electric power mixers.

FAQs
Can I use this for thin-set mortar?
Yes, it is designed for plaster and similar construction materials, making it suitable for mortar as well.
Is the shaft prone to rusting?
The shaft is made of tubular steel, so while it is durable, you should keep it dry and clean it immediately after use to prevent surface rust.
How do I remove dried plaster from the head?
If plaster has already dried, soak the head in water to soften the material and gently scrape it off with a plastic or wooden tool to avoid damaging the aluminium.
Does this tool come with a warranty?
Faithfull tools are typically backed by their standard manufacturer guarantees against defects in material and workmanship.
Can this be used with a power drill?
No, this is specifically engineered as a manual hand-mixing tool and is not compatible with power drill chucks.
Troubleshooting
Material is clumping at the bottom of the bucket
Use the wheel to scrape the perimeter of the base before continuing a circular mixing motion to ensure all powder is incorporated.
Difficulty holding the shaft during heavy mixing
Ensure your hands are dry and clean. Consider using work gloves with a rubberized grip for better leverage and to prevent hand fatigue.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable and long-lasting construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the Faithfull Mixing Wheel; it is ready to use immediately. For best results, ensure your mixing vessel is of a stable, rigid material to allow for circular motion. To maintain the tool, always rinse the mixing head thoroughly with clean water immediately after use. If plaster dries on the aluminium, it can be difficult to remove; keeping a bucket of clean water nearby during the job helps keep the tool clear of debris. Store the tool in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the steel shaft over time.
