For those of us who need to mix compounds on a daily basis, a good mixer is an essential requirement of the job.

The problem is that there are many tools that can do this task but end up getting burned out or killed within a few months of real work.

Many cordless drills and hammer drills have fallen in our pursuit of finding the best mixing drill for our professional use – that ends here.

This review aimed to find the best power tools that will not only mix up a storm but also excel at drilling through anything we need. All-day, every day, year after year.

The Makita DS4000 is the ultimate winner as its extreme build quality and components make it the best mixing drill for thinset and every other tough compound known to man, martians and plutonians .

A power tool like that is an asset to any professional lucky enough to own one and holds it head up high as the undisputed king.

The Makita DS4012 is the more affordable and younger brother of the King but still holds many of the family values. I’ve been using one for over 2 years and it never falters, no matter what I mix with it. For a tiler, it’s an excellent thinset mixer. I just wish it looked a bit more manly.

Finally, we have the unholy hole maker, the Bosch GBM9-16.

16mm chuck size and all the torque you need to drill holes in everything with the massive range of accessories you can fit in that gaping maw. Far from a one-trick pony, it also holds its own as a great mixer from a variety of materials. Paint, plaster, concrete and thinset all get churned up without a sweat.

Need to go cordless? Not featured in this review but highly rated is the Milwaukee 2810-20 cordless drill mixing drill. It is hands down the best cordless drill mixer. Coupled with a 5.0 A/H M18 Fuel battery, you have a king of cordless mixing that can keep up with all your needs.

So, you found a mixer-drill that will suit your requirements.

Go get one and stop burning out those drills boy, your wallet will thank you and so will your wife when you buy her dinner.

Happy drilling! 😉
