My Father used to be a brick layer. He saw what I did to my hands recently trying to mix ingredients for soil and brought this over for me to use. He used this tool for something or other before he retired, maybe to mix concrete? I have learned that it is the equivalent of a big kitchen hand mixer. It's a little too much tool for me (too much torque) as it got away on me when I was trying to use it but my Dad mixed my batch of planting medium and finished in 15 minutes flat and all the air was out of the sphagnum. I had to share this.
Don't ask me what type of an attachment is on the end or what type of a drill that is because I have no idea. I do know it works like a dream and I was able to get enough mixed to have an entire garbage can of planting medium to set aside so I wasn't making a mess every other day.
And yes, this sand was rinsed before I added it to the mix. I still don't have the guts to do a "fizz" test.
