yesterday at work i got chatting to a brickie that was doing some work in the flat below my job.

he told me about a tool he had for mixing cement. he was telling me its called a "larry" well atleast in australia it is anyway.

anyway i used his "larry"today to mix up a bag of building sand and bit cement. i mixed it in a wheel barrow and was rather impressed. certainly easier than using a shovel

heres a pic. im just curious as to if anyone has seen or used one before



i liked it personally. may well get myself one made up as ive never seen one else where before.

ohh and btw the brick work in the picture is nowt to do with me or the lad who i was chatting to. its existing lol

Never seen one of those before, i'm quite intriqued as you know mixing up muck in a barrow (even 1 load) is backbreaking

well its approximately 8 inches x 5 inch, holes are approx 2 inches in diameter. it has a strengthener bar down the middle between the 2 holes. and the socket to attach the shaft onto.

use it rake fashion. ie if you were raking something to level it up.

gets a bit of a sweat going i guess but no where near as much hard work as mixing up in a barrow with a shovel.

im gonna make one up when i get a chance. deffinately better than mixing with a shovel

These are easier

Similar to useing a rake and a tin bath for mixing browning, kills your back if you do it a lot, reckon that crete sheet would work tho.
