- This auger for digging plant holes is by far the best tool to mix a bucket of concrete or mortar. Its effortless, super quick and produces perfect result every time with no balast or cement left unmixed. Due to the way the auger works (like a corkscrew) it pulls up the mix from the bottom of the bucket to the top and rotates it as it goes resulting in a thoroughly well mixed concrete. I wish I had discovered this ealier as I would either have used a trowl or spade which was hard work, slow and you would always find chunks of unmixed ballast or cement when you poured it out.
Here is a link to the Auger I used in this video: cwww.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...
If the link doesn't work, then the brand was Workpro and the size of the auger was 8cm x 30cm. - Jak na to + styl
I burned my ryobi out mixing thinset lol this drill is not meant for that broski
Wow auger is super simple yet very effective
Looks pretty wet that mix!
Burnt drill
Yeah, was a bit sloppy as I was rushing and guesstimated the water. All good though as it wasn’t needed for anything structural. Cured fine 👍🏻
BALLAST IS FOR WHAT?
Easiest way ever is with a mixer. Just did a job with one for the first time and it was a total game changer.
NAH THIS IS EASIER
@@leelunk8235 mixer is 100x easier. And it doesn't burn out your drill.
This tutorial was just for mixing a small amount easily and quickly. I don’t have access to a mixer and only find I need to mix up a buckets worth just for odd jobs 👍🏻
@@KeepingItKeith THE CONCRETE IS WET SO WHAT DRILL BURN OUT ARE YOU SAYING LOL ITS A METAL DRILL NOT A WOODEN BRANCH
The best tip for this exact situation, use a corded drill, for multiple batches. Don’t burn out your batteries or power tools…. Also… try not to use Ryobi
Use 1/2 drill or bigger. You will burn out your drill.
Better using a bigger builders tub and a 1500 watt rotary hammer drill esp when making 4-2-1 concrete
Im wondering why not mix this straight in the sonotube?
Mate, You got a link for the Auger to buy it?
Hi, this is a link to where I bought my auger. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B089YK1QNQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If the link doesn't work, then the brand was Workpro and the size of the auger was 8cm x 30cm, it also came with a smaller auger all for £17
I see the drill comments, I've had a ryobi combi drill since 2016 and used it to turn over small plant engines, lawn mowers, mix concrete/slop for various projects and drill through pretty thick metals smoked it twice and put all the battery's into protect countless times. When ryobi made the combi drill and impact driver combo set in 2016 it had its game face on!
Better than dewalt
@@jamie.777 LMFAO.
Okay brokie.

For 5 concrete posts, Is it cheaper to buy balllast and cement separately and then mix them up, compared to buying bags of Postcrete?
5 bags of concrete is $50... Cheap as hell
What is ballast , i tried ordering it and cant find it
Ballast is just a mix of sand, gravel and small stones. What country are you in and I will try and find you a link to where you can get it :)
Where we can buy that very awsome tools for very easy way to mixing cememt ?
This is what I bought from Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B089YK1QNQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thank you sir
Hell no 😂
But if you do that a lot, it will destroy the drill. It needs a heavy duty drill
drill will be just fine if its a somewhat decent brand.
@@SamFBM no it won't kiss a##
WHAT'S THE BALLAST FOR?
Ballast is a mix of sharp sand and gravel. It helps bind everything together to make the concrete stronger.
@@thesweatyfox OH
Ballast? Can i not just use the concrete mix and water?
Yes you can just use a pre-made concrete mix and add water 👍🏻
Wtf is ballast? Dirt?
Gravel and sand.
LOL NEVER HEARD OF BALLAST
This is mortar not concrete
What’s 1 part?
It’s the mix ratio quantity. 1 part is the equivalent to 20% of the total mixture volume. So the remaining 4 parts are 80%.
