Mixer paddle Polax HEX 31-006 for drills, 80×400 mm mixing blade

Polax HEX 31-006 is a mixer paddle designed to be used with power drills. The 80×400 mm mixing blade is suitable for stirring paints, adhesives, plasters, cement mixes and other viscous materials. The HEX connection provides a secure fit to compatible drill chucks and helps transfer torque efficiently for consistent mixing performance during renovation and construction tasks.

Advantages

The mixer paddle offers a robust metal blade profile that improves mixing homogeneity and reduces air entrapment in materials. Its elongated 400 mm shaft length reaches deeper into buckets and containers, while the 80 mm blade diameter balances flow and clearance for typical trade containers. The HEX connection minimizes slippage in the drill chuck and enables efficient torque transfer from the drill to the paddle.

Suitable for

• Mixing paint and primers
• Stirring tile adhesives and bonding mortars
• Preparing plaster and jointing compounds
• Mixing cement, grout and concrete additives in small batches
• DIY and professional renovation tasks requiring mechanical mixing

Key specifications

• Blade diameter: 80 mm
• Shaft length: 400 mm
• Connection type: HEX shank for drill chucks
• Material: metal mixing blade and shaft
• Intended materials: paints, adhesives, plasters, cement and other viscous mixtures

How to use

Insert the HEX shank of the paddle securely into a compatible drill chuck and tighten according to the drill manufacturer's instructions. Start mixing at low speed to avoid splashing and gradually increase to the recommended speed for the material being mixed. Keep the paddle submerged while the drill is running to maintain consistent mixing and reduce air incorporation. After use, stop the drill before removing the paddle and clean the blade promptly to prevent material hardening.

Usage recommendations

Use a drill with variable speed control and sufficient torque for viscous materials. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection, and mix in a well-ventilated area. For best results, select a container that allows the paddle to operate without contacting the bottom excessively and avoid running the drill at maximum speed for prolonged periods to reduce wear.
