Drill-mixer: selection and operation

In appearance, this type of construction mixer resembles a classic drill. If necessary, then, by replacing the cartridge with a drill, the tool can be used to drill holes in any material: plastic, metal, ceramics, wood.

But first of all the drill-mixer is intended for works on mixing of various building structures. The main differences from other types of drills:

• work at low speed is possible;
• there is a set of special attachments;
• Higher power;
• stable operation in case of overheating.

Due to the high torque value, the mixer drill allows you to quickly mix different in density and viscosity formulations, to combine color and paint with quality. Once upon a time to bring a variety of suspensions, mixtures, solutions to a homogeneous state, home masters used a variety of nozzles for a conventional drill. But this led to a breakdown of the instrument. Especially quickly it occurred when kneading quite viscous building mixtures.

The modern specialized tool of the increased capacity allows to work effectively without repair for a long time if the rules of operation are observed. Therefore, do not spoil a good drill, but it is better to buy a special drill-mixer. Especially it will be useful to masters who work independently, and teams of builders who produce repair and construction work in small volumes. With its help, you can prepare solutions at a time around the bucket. Their quality will be much higher than that of compositions prepared by hand mixing.

If you decide to buy a drill-mixer, then you should pay attention to such technical characteristics:

• power (above 650 watts);
• Turnovers should be up to 1050 rpm;
• Rotational moment (not less than 70 N * m);
• the spindle neck must have a diameter equal to the European requirements of 43 mm.

The efficiency of the tool is better to check in the first couple of days, and even better - on the day of acquisition, in order to avoid surprises in the midst of repair. Of the additional properties and amenities for models of different companies can be:

• Overload protection;
• smooth start;
• auto power off;
• Additional side handle;
• double case insulation;
• Allen key;
• one phase;
• Adapter.

The German firm Bosch is one of the recognized favorites of the Russian power tool market. The quality of the instrument and the impeccability of its work have been tested by masters of several generations. According to the technical characteristics, cost and durability of the work without breakdowns, the products of Hammer, Rebir, Hitachi, Ferm are close to it.

Twenty years ago, the domestic producer of the tool, the Interskol company, appeared on the market. The assortment of products of this enterprise will satisfy the most demanding consumer: planes, perforators, electric saws, grinders, fret saws, industrial hair dryers, various drills.
A large number of produced models allows you to choose a drill-mixer "Interskol" not only for technical characteristics, but also at an affordable price.
If the city does not have a large store of construction tools, where it can be picked up, it makes sense to go to proven online stores where it's easy to determine the manufacturer and purchase the tool you like.
