      Be strong, Jimothy! We are both holding out for the Ozito PXC 18V Brushless 3-Speed 1/2" Impact Wrench. Be. Strong.

    Great deal. Wouldn't it have the same result if we put that mixing bit on a drill?

    • +3

      Probably, but this unit I would assume gives a bit more stability and doesn't spin back on your hand or hurting your wrist.

    • +5

      Yeah probably.

      Given they say this is only suitable for water based stuff, it probably doesn't have much torque. The manual is devoid of this spec.

      A good brushless drill with the right attachment will do the job. Just gotta be careful to start slow or risk snapping your wrist!

      The nice this about this mixer is the handles. But the motor seems to be brushed so not great.

      • This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwtqJK6lEGY told that we should not use ordinary cordless drills for this task. So he meant a dedicated mixing tool should have more torque. I couldn't find the specs about this Ozito mixing tool (like how many Nm it can do). I soon need to mix concrete and dig some holes for fence posts.

          I soon need to mix concrete and dig some holes for fence posts.

          Wouldn't recommend this, or any kind of normal drill, for either job.

          Unless you're mixing ridic. low volumes or a really light, watery screed, at which point you're probably going to have a dud blend, you'll wreck the drill/mixer and do a pretty shoddy job at mixing at the same time. These would struggle to move around the aggregate enough to mix it well.

          Get a cement mixer, or do it by hand if you're just doing small batches. A flex tub (gardening section) and a spade does the job.

          For drilling fence posts you'd want a proper auger for >= 100mm diameter holes, no handheld drill will have enough torque. Ego have an electric posthole digger that tops out at about 80Nm and that'll handle pretty rough soil and clay, but it'll still kneecap you before the torque cutout steps in if you're not paying attention. If you're getting up into the 300mm and above range, hire a Dingo rather than waste your time and organs on handheld gear.

          • @schquid: I have this mixer and it's been great for mixing concrete. I have a cement mixer but will still reach for this to mix something small and quick. Heaps of torque compared to a drill with a paddle (my drill is an 18V Milwaukee so not a hopeless one) that will cut through the mix to get into all the corners and get a consistent slurry, and fast and convenient compared to getting the mixer out, moving it in place, cleaning it after, etc.

            I have an excavator with an auger for holes, but wouldn't be opposed to picking up a battery post hole digger for the same reason - quick and easy if it's something small. I just don't dig post holes often enough to have bothered. This mixer just has a standard M14 thread to attach the paddle, so I wouldn't be surprised if you could fit an auger to it in a pinch. Plenty of torque, although it won't have a clutch to save your wrists if you hit something.

      The mixing bit looks rubbish.

      I use a large chorded Makita drill for mixing.

      Drill gets warm…this isn't something I'd be wanting to be powered by an 18v battery.

      My take - buy a $5 paint mixer to go in a drill, or a proper paint mixer. Hence the price I guess.

    • +1

      For what it's worth, I've basically blunted out my hexagon connection for my mixing bit after one job (for paving). I'm probably doing something wrong but I'd imagine this would last a lot longer. Also the battery kit is probably worth $69 on it's own

    • +1

      Don't mix concrete with a drill. Will burn it out.

      Drills are high speed low torque. Mixers are high torque low speed.

      I learnt this the hard way. My poor drill :( there was fire and smoke.

      • 100% agree. Even a 2 speed drill won't enjoy being used to mix it. I haven't killed mine but I have damaged it a bit its chuck just isn't amazing anymore.

        You don't want to use your good drill for this job, and if you use a cheapy then you are really carrying a second tool anyway. I have a corded mixer now and it has slow start, variable speed, it is much smoother to hold thanks to two handles.

    Can I use this to make a sponge cake?

    • +1

      Yes, but I don't recommend painting your walls with sponge cake.

    • +2

      Sponge cake is no good as grout.

  • +1

    corded much better, kills batteries

    • +1

      different from a drill / saw etc?

      • I use a drill with mixing sds attachment. Can be hard on the wrists but much more powerful and versatile.

      • +1

        depends on what you're mixing

  • +2

    Comes with a 4ah, which if you value at $33, then the effective price is $36 for the skin. It also comes up with a charger.

  • +1

    Is this good for Matcha?

  • +1

    A number of good Ozito deals lately, wonder what could be coming up next?

    • Fingers crossed for the 36V PXC stick vac.

      • Oh no… i bought the aldi stick vac then the ozito one… do i really need a third vaccume..

  • +8

    Grabbed this and the toilet brush head extension. Xmas sorted.

    • +4

      Sounds like it'll be a lonely Xmas lol

    ALDI have a 1200w table saw for $149 for sale this Saturday, I'm assuming Bunnings will match it with the ozito version.

    • +1

      I hope so! Although the specs are different

    Must.. resist…
    Failed. Lol.

    Nice… Now I can be super lazy mixing my potting soil (in future will need hundreds of litres mixed each year)

    • My first thought was compost aeration but this is a great idea

      • +1

        Haha yeah pure laziness but in the ecosystem already.

        Look at the cost of a 4ah battery and a mixer bit separately, you've spent $69 already.

  • +13

    Mixed 30 bags of concrete with this with the 85L bin. Did it all in 6 batches - so good! Mixer held up well and only used one fullly charged 4.0ah battery.

    • +3

      That's a glowing endorsement ; I purchased a corded similar tool for a relatively small (a dozen or so 20L buckets) concrete job and it struggled - non-terminal Magic Smoke leakage a few times.

      Every time these devices get posted there's the "just use ya drill, ya pansy" crowd who likely haven't tried to do concrete.

      • +2

        Low speed; high torque does the job for conrete and this tool does it well.

        I bought when it was $99 for the kit (as buying just the skin would cost $129) and could say that I've saved so much time that it justifies the $99. For $69? Even better.

      • I've done plenty of small at-home in-tub concrete jobs with a corded Bosch drill.
        just need to select the low speed and go full throttle for max cooling.
        Same drill still going strong for 15+ years.

        IMO its more about wrecking the precision of the chuck with alot of sideways torque. But not using that drill for precision drilling anyway.

    • SOLD! Exactly what I need it for in two weeks time. Need to mix about 10-12 bags.

    • Mixing concrete sounds like that would be pretty tough on the device. Apart from epoxy, what else would it not be suitable for mixing?

      My use cases would be paint, mastic, grout, concrete, mortar

  • Generally a tile adhesive and levelling compound mixer.
    Perfect if you are already into Ozito gear.

    Bunnings also sells an SDS mixing laddle for smaller jobs where you can use the cheapest corded SDS hammer that sometimes goes for $79.

    This has been a very good tool for me. I’ve had it for years and mixed 50+ big buckets of grout, tile adhesive, concrete and epoxy among other things.

      Username is great, especially if you own one. I wish Suzuki still made the Mighty Boy. Would buy a new one in a heartbeat:)

  • +2

    Great find!!

    I just returned my unopened plug-in version and bought this instead.

  • -1

    I'm not convinced that this device will beat a shovel and a pair of strong arms… and strong back and legs. You still need muscles to operate this mixer. Nothing comes free.

  • Any thoughts on a mixing attachment on a driver or drill vs this?
    I imagine for heavier mixes, this is where it will be handy, but not finer admixtures or paint.

    • +1

      I have one of the very cheap e-bay augers. It just has a hex end but no locking mechanism.

      A cheap drill chuck and adaptor is what I used. It connects onto the end of the M14 Ozito shaft.

      1pc Multipurpose Adapter M14 to M10 or M14 to 5/8-11 or 5/8-11 to M14 Universal Thread Converter for Polishing Wheel & Disc
      You want the "M14 change 1-2". US$2. It is a female M14-2 to male 1/2"-20.

      To be honest I haven't tried it, but it seems so much more stable an torquey than a hand drill. With the hand drill it was an accident waiting to happen if you hit a rock.

        brilliant idea. thanks. i have a spare chuck kicking around

  • On clearance for $50 at my local store. Maybe at other stores too…

      • Just a PSA recent activity post when I happened upon another member reference the deal

        • All good. I misread your comment as expired. I am mildly dyslexic, so thanks for your input.
