FAQs

What types of materials can I mix with this paddle?

This paddle is ideal for mixing plaster, lime, floor screeds, render, and similar viscous building materials.

What is the fitting size?

The paddle features an M14 fitting, which is a standard size for many mixing drills.

Is this paddle suitable for paint mixing?

While it can be used for some thicker paints or primers, it is primarily designed for heavier materials like plaster and screed. For thin paints, a dedicated paint mixing attachment might be more suitable.

How do I clean the mixing paddle?

Clean the paddle immediately after use with a damp cloth or brush. Dry it thoroughly before storing to prevent rust.

What is the paddle made of?

The paddle is manufactured from high-quality carbon steel for increased durability.

Can I use this with any drill?

No, this paddle requires a power tool with an M14 fitting specifically designed for mixing attachments. Standard drills may not be compatible or suitable.

What is the benefit of the negative helix blades?

Negative helix blades are designed to pull material downwards and outwards, creating a powerful lifting and mixing action that helps to achieve a smooth, consistent texture without creating excessive air bubbles.

Troubleshooting

Paddle does not attach securely

Ensure the paddle's M14 thread is clean and undamaged. Verify that your power tool has an M14 fitting and that the chuck is properly tightened.

Uneven mixing or material sticking to the bottom

Ensure the paddle is fully submerged and the drill speed is appropriate for the material. Try a slightly slower speed to start and gradually increase. Check that the negative helix blades are oriented correctly for lifting material.

Excessive vibration during use

Check that the paddle is securely fastened to the drill. Ensure the drill itself is functioning correctly and that the material being mixed is not excessively thick or causing an imbalance.

Paddle showing signs of rust

This is a common issue with carbon steel if not properly maintained. Clean off any rust with a wire brush and then apply a light coating of oil to the paddle before storage. Ensure it is stored in a dry environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable carbon steel construction for extended lifespan.
  • Effective mixing performance due to negative helix blade design.
  • Suitable for a range of common building materials.
  • Standard M14 fitting for broad compatibility with mixers.

Cons

  • Requires an M14 compatible power tool.
  • May not be suitable for very fine or delicate mixing tasks.
  • Long shaft could be challenging in very confined spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your power tool is switched off and unplugged before attaching the mixing paddle.
  2. Screw the M14 fitting of the paddle firmly onto the chuck or spindle of your M14 compatible mixing drill.
  3. Tighten securely, ensuring there is no wobble.

Compatibility:

This mixing paddle is designed exclusively for power tools with an M14 spindle fitting. Always confirm your tool's fitting type before purchase. It is recommended for use with drills or mixers specifically designed for mixing applications.

Care:

  • After each use, immediately clean the paddle to prevent material from hardening on the blades. Use a damp cloth or a brush. For stubborn residues, a gentle solvent may be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
  • Dry the paddle completely before storing to prevent rust.
  • Store in a dry place, away from moisture.
