    Can you crush too fast with drill?

    This one looks perfect for the application. A little pricey though. http://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-1-2-in-Spade-Handle-Mud-Mixer-R7122/100523157?N=c27fZ18gZ1z141kh

    Can you crush too fast with drill?

    This conversation has steered me away from the HF model... What's the consensus on this one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-8-Amp-1-2-in-Magnum-Drill-0299-20/100026817?N=c27fZzvZ1z0wjscZ1z141kh#.UnoghhDOQwA I'm brewing this weekend so this serious decision needs to be made. :confused::)
