Stanley SDR1400

Stanley products have been famous for their functionality and affordable price for many decades, and recently the brand was bought out by Dewalt, which added points to the treasury of both. The construction mixer SDR1400, costing about $120, is a handy hand tool for mixing mortars.

Ergonomics, again ergonomics

The model is produced in a recognizable yellow-black corporate colour. It weighs only 3.5 kg and is just as easy to handle. Rubberized handles provide a secure grip. At all corners of the structure there are rubber semicircular inserts so that you can put the tool on the surface with either side without fear of hitting the plastic case. You can reach the power-on lock button and the speed wheel with your finger without changing your grip, so you won’t have to be distracted from work.

Not powerful but strong

The mixer motor is not too powerful — 1400 W, but there are two continuously adjustable speeds: from 0 to 480 rpm and from 0 to 800 rpm. According to the manufacturer, the device will cope with the mixing of various building mixtures with a volume of up to 120 liters without problems. The main thing is not to overdo it with the duration of the work. It is recommended to take breaks so as not to overheat the device and not overwork. The soft start function will add comfort — when you turn on or switch gears, the engine starts smoothly, without jerking. The Stanely SDR1400 mixer turned out to be compact, light and practical. Its capabilities are enough for domestic needs and even sometimes for professional ones. And the price doesn't bite.
