@@matthatter69420 it it a pretty stout drill. I put my 4” auger bit in it and it works for drilling holes for post better than any other drill I own. I’m not sure if it will work for that… only because I haven’t tried it, but it’s a stout drill. This or maybe the Hole Hawg might would work for you
Iv just invested in one myself, iv always use corded mixer due to amounts of product I go through with my works, I was surprised by the power and it doesn't chew up battery power at all, I mix very heavy compounds like selfleveling materials HB-50S and it dose it easily as. It dose beat corded drills hands down
Yeah this thing is pretty powerful. I have a small auger but I usually ran in my SDS drill, but this thing makes that auger way more useful when doing post holes by hand.
What is the spindle the chuck goes on called? It uses flats instead of threads. Unlike other drills, after removing the left threaded screw, the chuck just slides off, love it! But what is that type of drill-chuck connector called? For a big picture of the Milwaukee mud mixer spindle that connects to the chuck, please search Google/Bing for "Jakeisks". I need keyword(s). Thanks.
@@AuroraColoradoUSA I just found it searching Flicker Jakeisk Photostream… Pretty interesting that it comes off like that. Never seen one like it either.
@@MORGANSMaintenance Apparently there is an easy way to connect it to my bike's bottom bracket, So (hopefully) I don't need to look for adapters now. Thanks.
For regular jobs (from drywalls to tiles) I use my trustworthy, 15 year old Makita 6013B. No variable speed, rotates only right and you can move a planet with it. It has no chuck, just M14 thread. It takes up to 6 1/4'' mixers (diameter). I usually use 4 1/2 " for mud and 6 1/4' for thinset and mortars or floor screed. You can mix 50 lbs of thinset in an instant. I recently upgraded it with specialised Collomix quick release chuck (Hexafix) and some hexagonal mixers. For smaller things or occasional use I take cordless Makita DHR243 (similar to XRH11Z but 18V) SDS+ with interchangeable chucks (either SDS+ or quick release 1/2"). And to mix a really small batches of mud or thinset I just use a small trowel. I wondered couple of times at buying some cordless mixer, but I don't see any reason for that. At least right now. Especially that I like to have my mixing post near a water tap and a (improvised) sink. Usually if you do more mixing the place gets dirty in its own specific way. I need to clean/wash the mixer thoroughly and have a mixing water near, so no use for cordless. Besides here it's rather unusual not to have AC on the site. If there's no power, it's usually the tip of the iceberg. So I preventively don't take the job.
Yeah the lack of power typically isn’t an issue when you get to the “needing to use mud of some type”stage. At the minimum temporary power is usually up by then. I was going to buy another corded mixer but ended up getting this for the same price as the one I was eyeing with with the discount. I rarely get out a cord anymore so I think it will be nice not having to get one out. I’m not even sure what brand my old corded one was… it was handed down to me. It was 100% metal (the housing , handles, and everything) so it was super heavy and I had began getting a “electrical tingle” while using it 😂. For drywall I had just been using my regular drill for the most part, but I normally am a small batch guy. I had just started doing bigger jobs so I decided to get a little bigger drill. Now that you say that about your SDS+ I forgot I have an adapter to take regular bits… I could have probably just used it. That’s a good idea.
It's a common syndrome, thinking one doesn't need something everybody else loves (like a cordless tool), and producing all sorts of justifications for that feeling.
I was never a big fan of it back in the day… but the better I have gotten at it, the more I don’t “dislike” it. Still won’t say I “like” it… and no way I would want to do it everyday. I’m not that good at it 😂
Maybe you saw the ones in the Welkinland Pouch Video? I put some of my random plumbing tools one of those bags. I can maybe do a video on a few of those tools.

in my experience, underpowered, low top speed. My boss' makita drill top speed is 600 or 550 rpm but feels ridiculously faster. So considering those numbers, I would say this is more like 400 rpm. And I'm using a 12 ah bat. I would 100% love it if it was a bit faster and stronger. *Using this for thinset here. It works, just not very strong.
Appreciate your feedback. It’s been working well for me, but I’m only an occasional thinset mixer, do drywall more than anything. Always helps to get as many opinions as possible 👍
Good review.. I'm looking at this drill for a 1" tenon cutter to make rustic log furniture.

It's perfect for thinset too!!
@@jimewelsh good to know!.. I figured it would be.
I don’t do tile as often as drywall, but it’s an occasional job for me.

I wish you would show your tools to use under a sink. Seems like i have seen some tools in your Veto or another video, that i wasn't sure what it was.
Maybe you saw the ones in the Welkinland Pouch Video? I put some of my random plumbing tools one of those bags.
