They're really good for burning out cheap drills, but you can
probably buy those there too...

Yup you need a powerful bugger to drive those. My Wickes/Kress high torque,
85nm, three gear jobby works a treat, but you have to hang on to it. Cheap
drill wouldn't last 5 mins.

You need a drill with a gearbox. Plaster wisk needs low speed
high torque, and if you try and do this with just an electronic
speed control, there's not enough airflow through the drill for
the power it's consuming, with the inevitable result that it
will overheat quite quickly. You would probably get away with
doing a small bucket of finish coat even so, but mixing large
buckets of scratch coat would be a different story.

I do know it was the incorrect type of drill for this purpose but to lay out
for an expensive drill just for doing plastering mixing was totally
unecessary and the £14 drill has surpassed the heavy work and is still
usable as a normal drill.

Builders bucket 3/4 full mix each time
Usage...
Dry wall adhesive
Bonding plaster
Multi finish
Cement

And yes it was electronic speed drill although I didn't feel it was
overheating in my hand.
