When it comes to achieving a flawless finish in your tiling projects, the key lies in the precision of adhesive application. Properly mixed adhesive ensures strong bonds and long-lasting results. To make this process efficient and effective, having the right tools at your disposal is crucial. In this blog post, we'll explore the best tools for mixing adhesive, helping you elevate your tiling game to the next level.

1. Paddle Mixers
   Paddle mixers are essential for achieving a consistent and lump-free adhesive mixture. A top tip is to look for paddles with helical designs, as they provide efficient blending without introducing air bubbles. Here are some prime examples of reliable mixing paddles and an electric mixer at Pro Tiler Tools:
   • Bihui M14 Twist Mixing Paddle
   • Rubi Rubimix-16 ERGOMAX Electric Mixer
2. Whisks
   When mixing mortars and adhesives, whisks are an ideal alternative to a paddle mixer, the Battipav 115mm Hex Whisk and Kubala Adhesive And Mortar Whisk HEX Fitment 1207 are great options available at Pro Tiler.
3. Mixing and Pouring Stations
   If you need to mix a high volume of levelling compound, a mixing station cuts your mixing time, has an ergonomic handle and eliminates fatigue for transporting the materials once mixed. Here are three top options:
   • Bihui Levelling Compound Mixing Station BU-MS1900
   • Raimondi Fluidmix Self Levelling/Latex Mixing & Pouring Station 238 EUN
   • Raimondi Fluidmix Special Self Levelling/Latex Mixing & Pouring Station 238 UN
4. Cordless Mixers
   For the ultimate convenience and portability, cordless mixers are a game-changer. These tools offer the freedom to move around without being tethered to an electrical outlet. The Rubi Rubimix E-10 Energy 18v Brushless Cordless Mixer 1 x 5.0Ah Batteries 26965 and the Flex MXE 18.0-EC WR2 120 Cordless Mixer And Whisk are powerful options that provide the flexibility you need on the job.
5. Bucket Trowels
   Efficient adhesive mixing often requires scraping the sides and bottom of your mixing bucket to ensure all components are thoroughly combined. A quality bucket trowel, such as the Kubala Soft Grip Bucket Trowel 0951, makes this task a breeze. Its ergonomic design and durable construction are perfect for the job's demands. Some other great bucket trowel options include:
   • Pro Tiler Tools Stainless Steel Bucket Trowel
   • OX Tools Pro Bucket Trowel 180mm
   • Perfect Level Master PLM Softgrip Handle Bucket Trowel

The Ardex 10 Litre Measuring Bucket or Tilemaster Mixing Bucket 21 Litre are fantastic choices, featuring a large capacity and clear volume markings for precision. Our best-selling adhesive and grout mixing bucket is the Pro Tiler Tools Adhesive & Grout Mixing Bucket 16 Litres, due to it being great value, with a reinforced top lip to prevent deformation when full.
