This seems light for a 9-amp drill. Will it really mix thinset, grout, levelling compound, etc.?

Yes it will and you should attach the side handle when doing this or it could spin out of your grip. If you are going to mix for a home project it will mix often and well. However, if you are going to be mixing hundreds of times a year for commercial use then you may want to consider a very heavy unit designed for mixing. Another reason to attach the side handle is that if you don't there is a tendency to wrap one hand around the drill's body which blocks the vent holes and that will make any drill overheat. It is corded which is great and has a electronic brake which is really super. It looks good, it feels good and is a great 1/2" drill at a very reasonable price.

A couple of bags, OK, but it finially burned up and out on about my 9th bag of thinset (not all on the same day...). The burning smell was evident even from the first time I used to mix. Would not recommend for mixing!

This drill comes with a handle that makes mixing easier. It has a lot of power for mixing and would work fine for that. I personally use this one for better projects and use an old beat up milwaukee for mixing.

I believe it would. It has a lot of torque and power. Weight wise, if that's what you mean by "light," well I find it fairly heavy for a 1/2" drill. I like what it does when the trigger is let go, it stops instantly.

I don't know what you're referring to, but my husband uses it to mix mud for texturing walls, etc., and he is always bragging about this device, and he tells everyone about it! Many of his construction buddies were envious, he uses it with a DEWALT DW130V 9 Amp 1/2-Inch drill with spade handle - I'm not sure if it fits a 3/8 chuck

No it is not, But it is a light drill and I like it anyway. I reccomend it without doubt.

No. It is too thin and the grout lines will show. If you want to fill them in so you have a smooth flush surface, it will work then.

Even with the new batteries, sometimes it does not work to the minimum required expectation. From your question, I could guess that you want to use this product for some minimum power required DIY works. This Product does not suit at all. Go for any ordinary Drilling Machine from Bush or the same manufacturer Black and Decker. I own a Drilling machine from Black and Decker, ordinary type. It is quite Powerful and can be used for Concrete Drilling also with Hammer Mode. It is not costly and can be used for all the drilling purposes.

It is a very strong drill and will probably work fine if you are just doing small jobs.

The tool will work, but it won't have half as much power as it should. The tool will require more cfm.

I'm sorry I can not help you much.I purchased this drill for my Father.He wanted it for both purposes if he needed it.However I'm not sure if he ever used it for either?It's a nice looking heavy feeling drill.I showed him how it worked and it worked is all I can say.For the price and for what he may or may not need,it's a great purchase.

I was very happy with the power and cost of the mixer. I used it to mix 5 gallon buckets of thin set mortar which is pretty thick and it worked great. It had plenty of power left so I think you would be fine with heavy concrete. I would recommend it to you.

I use it for Tapcons and similar on occasion, and it works well enough in concrete. The drill is awesomely powerful for drilling framing members with auger bits and such, which I use it for daily.

I think this will do fine. We were not happy with it because it was one solid piece and not made well enough for large heavy tools such those used in electrical and plumbing jobs.

I think u need a 3/8 drill. Not sure how many kind of drills there are. But 3/8 I think is standard. So in most cases I'd say you are probably safe with this set

I would say so...Its a good tool and works well. Even if the drill doesn't spin fast enough, it will just take longer to complete your project

Should work fine for that, doesn't have the high RPM's as a Dremel does but has plenty of torque and about as much speed as any household drill does,The stand and feed lever should work better then the dremel did. nice working drill for what it costs for sure.

In a word.....No. The output of this drill is rotary motion.....like a regular drill except it has a high speed "pounding/hammering" component too. It is for use with carbide-tipped drills ... and it drills round holes in concrete quickly. That is ALL is is good for. Sorry.

It is a good portable drill, but I don't think it would be considered HEAVY DUTY !!!

Not sure why that would be? without looking at the drill press. But if you drilling requirement are that critical, I would go with a larger or heavier type drill press. This press is made for the hobbyist, but still should be accurate. I did not have that problem with the unit that I have purchased.
