Wrote off mortar mixers for years, then a $40 used one in Gary paid for itself in a week
I always mixed in a wheelbarrow because I figured the little drum mixers were toys, but after hauling 60 bags by hand on a chimney rebuild last month I grabbed a beat up one off a guy in Gary and it cut my mixing time in half, so now I'm wondering what other cheap gear I've been too proud to try.
