Better Mud Mixing

When I use my power drill to mix mortar or drywall mud, the drill jerks around in circles in the bucket instead of doing a good mixing job. To control the shaft of the mixer better without injuring my hands, I slip a short piece of 1/2-in. PVC pipe around the shaft of the mixing paddle. Mixing up mud just got a whole lot easier. — Damian Cordel
