Just to let you know that sometime next week Netto are selling an electric mixer (think its the 13th) Obviously not top rated gear but for £50 will no doubt get at least a year out of it. | ||||||||||

Paid £200 for my Metabo 6 years ago so thats about £34 a year. Netto seems expensive now. Buy cheap, buy Twice ( or 6 times in this case)  | ||

This is even cheaper, haven't got one so cant say anything about it, I do have a silverline 115mm grinder which I use infrequently and it seems as good as anything else tbh. http://www.transtools.co.uk/store/pr...er-paddle.html | ||||||||||

Yeah totally agree mate but made the post because some people do not have the money to fork out for expensive gear in a one payment | |||||||||||

I hear what you are saying but good tools are an investment. Yeah ok the smaller tools can be saved on but a cheap pair of pinchers wont last long, you only but twice. About the only thing i would say to buy cheap is jeans for work. i have had "real" work trousers and last the same as cheap £4 jeans from primark. My brother had a Silverline mixer and he rarely uses it because he admits its rubbish when it comes to thick addy. | ||

I always buy the best that I can afford. I recently had 150m of porcelain floor and mixed the addy and grout by hand, still waiting for an opp to use my mixixing paddle  | ||||||||||
