Makita DS4011 1/2" Spade Handle Drill

Great tool for mixing thinset , drywall mud and paint

The media could not be loaded. I was looking for a heavy duty drill to mix clay and paper. I originally purchased the DP4000 but felt I needed more amps to do the job. Both drills felt strong, and sturdy in my hands and would serve normal drill needs very adequately. I'm glad I switched products though, the DS4011 is a little larger, better amps (8.5 vs. 7), and the extra handles on the top and rear really help me keep a sturdy hold on the drill while mixing.I use this drill with the "Bon 15-187 24-Inch Carbon Steel Drill Mixer with 5-Inch Triple Fin Wheel" and so far I am very pleased with the performance of both items.The video shows the first mixing test; a success.I will post additional updates as I move into high production gear...soon!

This drill has been used at least 5 days a week for the past year and half. This can easily handle mixing 30+ bags of thinset mortar a day.

Heavy, strong

Don't care much for the reverse trigger would rather have a switch but other than that it good

good

I've spent years of mixing mud , thin set , and grout either by hand or using my Makita battery powered hammer drill. After burning out two drills , plenty of frustration , and even more improper consistency with my product, I found this gem . Deciding to up my game , improve my performance and lower my stress levels I purchased this and have been happy about it since. This drill has only one speed but it has power. I would recommend this to anyone who does remodeling . Only negative is it did not come with a case or bag but that's a cheap fix

Using for concrete mixing, very good mixer
