A quick review of the Ryobi 5.0 cu. ft. Portable Concrete Mixer from Home Depot. It's a capable, well-built piece of equipment that's often on sale for a very reasonable price.
I love it, for the price and the labor it saves the quality is good, I watched a video where someone put air tires on from harbor freight or somewhere and it was pretty cool . Nice and quiet and to me it already replaced a slab in my driveway
I got one that is under the Husky label. Just had to trouble shoot what looked to be a seized motor. Got it working. Feel free to ask me for advice. These are a good deal, but you need to change a few things to keep them going.
Excellent review. If I buy one, those cheap wheels would be replaced with larger pneumatic ones. Adding two smaller swivel and lockable wheels on the rear might help too.
Adding some smaller casters to the rear might be a good idea. Though in practice, I'm wondering if the mixer would tend to "walk" while it was mixing if it had four wheels.
Thanks for your reply. As a DIY'er, I often come up with 'sounds good to me' ideas. This might not be one of them. I'll work on a better idea and call you in the morning.@@aaronsrapidreviews
@@marcushennings9513 Thanks for your reply. Your idea sounds workable. Draw some plans showing how you would build one and get a patent. A video demonstration video would be interesting to watch.
