    Just got one. Does anyone have one?
    What best way to use it?
    How many screed does it mix 2 or 3
    How do you clean it.

    Do you leave the drill in it mixing on its own.

    will do 3 bags easy. It can do 4 bags but that is right at the top.

    Set it off mixing on its own but tap the out side of bucket with a mallet to get build up powder off.

    Then set drill at low speed and leave mixing while your putting the previous mix on the floor.

    the mitre rule / straight edge is no normal straight edge.

    Its made from stanless steel so wont rust. It is 2mm thick so will give brilliant guide for your khife to follow. Its 4x thicker than most other straight edges. It also has a broad angle of over 60 degrees. All other straight edges have a 45 degree angle so wont fit into a corner past 45 degrees , it has a sharp point rather than curved so will allow knife to go all the way to the end. It also has a measurement guide etched into the steel so you can you it for setting out.

    A lot really compared to a normal straight edge.

    I await your feedback daz, both positive and negative. Any negative feedback appreciated so i can change the design if needed. These tools are being designed for the trade so the more feedback we get the better they will get. If we have no negative feedback then we know we have it right!
