Hi, can anyone tell me what tool you can mix grout with, I allready have the bit. Many Thanks.

I mix grout by hand, You use a cheap drill with a soft start

I use my battery Makita drill driver on slow speed with a small whisk. Does the job fine.

I mix grout with my bucket trowel........

I've only ever mixed by hand with a clean bucket trowel.
Why the need for a power mixer unless you are mixing loads and can work as fast as superman?!

I have a silverline mixer but I only use it if I am mixing standard setting adhesive as I wouldn't get through it quick enough with rapidset if I mixed large batches.

Grumps i cant see many people mixing more than 5kg - 10kg at a time could have mixed it before you picked your mixer up lol i must admit i sometimes use the mixer when its 10 - 20 kg at a time and thats when i am doing larger areas of Penny rounds :2x1 Pete

PS i sometimes think guys fuss around to much time is money
