Rotation speed
The rotation speed of the nozzle or mixing container provided by a plaster mixers.
High rotation speed devices work best with paints, varnishes and glues.
Low rotation speed models do a good job of preparing thick mixtures. Many modern plaster mixers and mixer-drills support the ability to adjust the speed (see "Features"), which allows user to choose the most optimal mode for a particular mixture. Powerful tools especially need a rotation under heavy load support system.
Max. torque
The
higher the torque, the better the tool handles viscous masses, where special force is required to turn the mixing nozzle. It is measured in Newtons per metre (N/m). Note that with an increase in the speed of rotation (see "Number of revolutions"), the torque decreases, and vice versa.
Reverse
Type of
reverse provided in the design of the tool.
Reverse allows you to switch the direction of rotation of the nozzle. The type of switch responsible for this function is also indicated here. There are sliders, flags, and on the start button. Here is a detailed description of each of these varieties:
- Slider. The switch is in the form of a slider with two opposite positions. As a rule, it moves in the “back and forth” direction relative to the tool chuck - this format is considered the most practical. The sliders are quite simple and at the same time convenient and visual. That is why they are the most popular option nowadays.
— Flag. A switch in the form of a flag, usually installed above the start button and flipped left and right. One of the advantages of a checkbox is that it is right at hand and can be switched with virtually no unnecessary movements (which is not always possible with a slider).
- On the start button. Reverse switch combined with the start button. Such a combination button is usually made in the form of a “rocker”, and the direction of rotation depends on which side of the rocker the customer pressed; The same press immediately starts the engine. This design allows you to easily and quickly change the direction of rotation - for this you do not need to be distracted by individual switches, just move your finger slightly and press the other half of the start button.
...
— There is no reverse. In models without a reverse function, you will have to use special right- and left-handed whisks to mix solutions. Nozzles of the first type are intended for the preparation of thick cement and plaster mixtures, of the second order - for mixing substances with a low degree of viscosity. Mixers with reverse do not have such strict requirements for twisting the spiral in the working nozzle, since the direction of rotation of their shaft can be easily changed.Max. wood drilling diameter
Refers to models that the user can also use as a conventional drill for drilling wood or metal. The parameter characterizes the largest diameter of holes that can be made using a tool. Here it should be taken into account that some modern mixers allow you to install drills of a much larger diameter than indicated by the manufacturer, and, theoretically, make a larger hole. But the larger the diameter, the higher the resistance of the material and, accordingly, the power of the device should be large. Using the tool on off-design loads is fraught with breakdowns.
Weight
This refers to the weight of a fully assembled and ready-to-use construction mixer or drill mixer. What you need to pay attention to here is that the
small weight of the device is not always its advantage. On the one hand, during operation, the tool has to be kept on weight, most often in a vertical position, which is very tiring. But on the other hand, heavy models are less susceptible to vibration, it is easier to fix them in one position.
