Been watching this and the regular price of $299. Now shows $149 at a few local locations in my area. Ordered online with a successful curbside pickup. Good reviews for small projects.

Great price on a great tool. For those who say they don't need it, think how much easier this will make pouring a slab foundation for the new shed you need to build to hold your new concrete mixer.
This is exactly what I am eye balling this for. My shed is 12 X 16 (Not built yet). Is this something which would work for a slab that size?

The underwater vacuum is a definite no for me. Can't justify the right angle drill right now
hah, i had another underwater vacuum already, but got tired of forgetting to charge it or leaving it out in the rain - not to mention it would go bad every 2 yrs

so i finally bought the underwater one from direct outlet at end of last year

opening saturday, so ill get my first use of it soon!!

excited b/c i have so many batteries, ill never need to worry about it not being charged or dying.

This is why I bought it. Plenty of youtube videos using it for shed slab purposes. Even larger square footages. Also plan to make 2'x3' pavers for the yard, concrete counters for the bbq, and maybe some rectangular concrete planters if I don't go back to work soon😅

What if it was 56v ?
I only have 18V batteries. I'm sure they'd work fine...for like 17 seconds.

I'm sure there're those that need it, but I hope I never need to mix enough concrete over a long enough time to justify owning this.
I like to do damn near everything myself to make more projects affordable, but if you need more than a yard or so you may as well just have concrete delivered. You'll pay more per yard for small orders, but the time and work savings are huge. Mixing a bag at a time sucks if you need more than a few.

Just poured a 12x16 slab a month ago. My dude, you need 7 cubic yards of concrete. It took over 70 wheel barrow trips from the mixer truck, to pour site.

It would certainly handle that size of slab, but you'd still be in for a LOT of work. Depending on the thickness of the slab and what size bags you can get locally, you're looking at 100-200+ bags, which is a back breaker in my book, even with a mixer. I'd suggest at least getting a quote or two for delivery. You could do it if you're persistent, no doubt, but that's a lot of super annoying work that you'd probably want to do all in one day.

Edit: if you have teenagers, absolutely do it "yourself." Smilie

I'm firmly in the "get it delivered" camp, but 7 yards would make a 12x16 slab 12" thick, if my math is right (which is a consideration, LOL). Most of us only need 4"-6" for a garage, no?

Whether it's 3 yards or 7 yards, I don't really want to mix that much, but that's not something everyone agrees on.

Nice price but impractical for me to store anywhere. Maybe use it and then flip it, but probably not worth the hassle during a pandemic.

Also, check your local tool rental center. Some rent mixers of various sizes and styles for reasonable prices.

I was in HD tonight. I think this is regular price. There were no savings on the price tag

I agree. I'm looking for a 12x16 slab for a patio myself. roughly 3 cu is what I have it figured at and it's a lot of work. I've already got quotes for delivery and yes there is a fee for that size $100 charge in my are for under 3cuft 3-5(or 10) is $50.

There is a website that tells you how many bags it is. My project is 2.3 cuyd and it's 107 80# bags... Transporting and lifting those multiple times simply isn't worth it. It's a truck all day for me.

I have done slabs using over 200 bags of 60lb concrete as the 60s are easier for me to handle. I have had good success in doing my project in fourths and using expansion joints in between the sections.

Not that hard doing 50 bags in a 3 or 4 hours with a small mixer.

At that size, I would call it in. It should be cheaper even with a delivery fee. If the truck can't make it all the way to the location, you can hire someone with a pump who will put it right where you need it so you don't have to bribe everyone you know with a wheelbarrow to help out.
