hi, guys Kirk here with Kirk giordano plastering, got something I want to show a fella Jesse and
Hawaii who called me and said he had on a plaster mix her it was a barrel type,
and he wanted to make the plaster. I told him, going googling type in plaster mixer mortar mix,
and you'll find these guys these are what we but because I've got to do some
maintenance on these, I figured Jesse, I'll show you something else too you're
gonna buy your own this particular mixer right here this one here ah
it's Sunday now Friday this one blew up on me it sounds like a helicopter now good buddy of
mine stopped by because I was talking about I needed a new engine he brought me this one I
can't even lift this one solid steel I tried to pick it up to push it back I ended up pushing it
with my hips I went up to a friend of mine who I let this mix it to now this is a hydraulic mixer
polyurethane cover all the urethanes rum and everything is hydraulic man this mixer I can
lift with one hand which makes it easy for my son to but what I'm doing is I'm checking things these
mixers I've had I've been pulling mixers and had a weird a wheel shear off on me go on past Berkley
the wheel pass method oh wow it was my own wheel anyway these need to be greased I usually free
some once a year then the front of these guys here I just I just brought this here at Sunday
we're working Monday so I've got to get this ready this cap right here it should be full of
grease there's no grease in fact the grease that's in it it's coming out of my hand which means I'm
gonna fill this whole cap up with grease clean this out put it on I'm gonna start this one up
which by the way starts in one pull I'm going to grease all these bearings right here as well as
grease all these bearings there's a whole bunch of very JAF degrees to keep these guys working well
right here we have a shear pin this shear pin is designed for if you got too much pressure
in the mixer it's too stiff it snaps this shear pin and this shear pin is just a bolt that goes
all the way through that way you don't mess up your belt now I've had I've had fellas and I've
broken myself when I was in the trade break this shear pin and the mixer it just stops running and
any time someone comes up and says thank Kurt the mixer is not running but it's still on I
know the shear pin is snap that's good because we want to share pin the snap here rather than
the mixer motor to blow up believe me we just had that happen so I figured I was I got to do this
anyway I got a gear this up grease it up tune it up for tomorrow's use so I thought I might as well
show you guys last thing I'll show you is one tip when you guys rent these or if you use them
they usually have a guard that goes right here throw your bag on here break it in here do not
put your hands in here I had a fellow a couple years ago kept turning Turnitin blades off and
stick his hand in this and stop doing that we had a shovel which was a piece of crap shovel
and I threw the shovel in I said you said snapped that shovel that'll do that to your hand turn the
mixer off completely if you're going to stick your hands in there never turn it on anyway I've
got to do this work anyhow and I thought I'd show you Jesse since it's been about three weeks since
you emailed me and said it what kind of mixer do I buy well this is the kind you want it's a
plasterer mixer this is fully hydraulic means it's very light these buttons right here it turns them
it drops the bolt down lifts it up turns blades on both both directions if you go with one of
these old-fashioned mixers stand back joke this one you'll be putting all your weight to pull it
down it's a pickup a lot of weight so I recommend if you guys are gonna buy one to buy a hydrolic
one with with these plastic covers or polyurethane covers as a save yourself a lot of hassles anyway
my name is Kirk I am with Kirk Giordano plastering, we'll see you folks hopefully on the job.
