Just happened across your thread while looking up about washboys.

Caught my eye as I've been looking at the possibility of using a mixer for adhesive - and plaster, since I do the odd bit of plastering. Been using my trusty Metabo Drill for 2 years - its a gutsy beast, but I'm sure its not doing it good, mixing takes a lot of torque. Had seen the Sparky @ screwfix - and had been wondering if it was any good and what difference it would make compared to a paddle with my drill. So your post kind of answers that one.

Big Thanks

Paul
