| Re: A to Z of hand tools COMPOUND MITRE SAW...Used by joiners,for mitres....a more advanced saw than the chop saw. CONCRETE MIXER/CEMENT MIXER...A concrete mixer (also commonly called a cement mixer) is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components. For smaller volume works portable concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete can be made at the construction site, giving the workers ample time to use the concrete before it hardens. An alternative to a machine is mixing concrete or cement by hand. This is usually done in a wheelbarrow; however, several companies have recently begun to sell modified tarps for this purpose. | "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten"
