Tolkien 0 Report post Posted May 2 I’ve been doing a bunch of weekend concrete jobs around my place, nothing huge, but enough that mixing by hand is getting old fast. A buddy keeps telling me to grab one of these next-gen concrete mixers with all the techy features, but the price tag makes my eye twitch. I’m stuck wondering if something that fancy actually helps on small projects or if I’m just getting sucked into hype. Anyone here used one for backyard builds or small reno stuff? I’d love to hear if it saved time or if a regular cheap mixer does the job just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArnoldSteven 0 Report post Posted May 11 I know this conversation has cooled off, but has anyone tried using The Steele Mixer with different types of concrete mixes? I'm curious if it handles variations like fiber-reinforced or rapid-set mixes just as efficiently. Would love to hear any experiences or tips, especially regarding cleanup time after using different mixes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nigan 0 Report post Posted May 11 For small weekend jobs, investing in a fancy mixer might feel like splurging, but I found the steelemixer pretty slick for my backyard projects. It’s a step up from manual mixing and speeds things up without the hassle of setting up something ginormous. Plus, its portability means I can tuck it away easily when I'm not using it. Kind of takes the grunt out of mixing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
