Just to make all members aware that B and Q are selling these for £1,thought it a bargain and bought some.

can't go wrong for a quid!

I use a genisis one myself, but i know a few lads only mix by hand, and will not use them as they say it introduces air bubbles into the grout?
i'v not experienced this problem myself

What's the difference between a grout whisk and a standard whisk that comes with a mixer!?! Is there any reason you shouldn't use the same whisk that you'd use for mixing addy? Probably a stupid question, but one i've been wondering about for a while now hehe!

As long as you can slow your whisk way down your standard one is ok done a lot of grouting today no bubbles and no effort mixing

Use an old sds so need a m14 thread to screw onto the sds adapter

do it by hand!

well for a start you need to make sure you get all the adhesive off the mixer because you dont want to comtaminate your grout.Secondly yor grout maybe a different colour form the adhesive,therefore contamination.

good price that mate will pop in tomorrow

They will do for mixing grout but not adhesives,not strong enough...imo
