Abstract
A mud mixer comprises a housing defining a battery mounting portion, an electric motor supported by the housing, a mixing element that selectively receives torque from the motor, causing the mixing element to rotate about a rotation axis, and a battery pack removably coupled to the battery mounting portion for providing power to the electric motor when coupled to the battery mounting portion. When the battery pack is coupled to the battery mounting portion, the rotation axis intersects the battery pack.
Claims18
A mud mixer comprising:
- a tool body defining a battery mounting portion;
- an electric motor supported by the tool body;
- a mixing element that selectively receives torque from the motor, causing the mixing element to rotate about a rotation axis;
- a first handle integrally coupled to the tool body and defining a handle axis;
- a second handle moveably coupled to the tool body and moveable between a first position, in which the second handle is arranged along the handle axis, and a second position, in which second handle is not arranged along the handle axis;
- and
- a battery pack removably coupled to the battery mounting portion for providing power to the electric motor when coupled to the battery mounting portion,
- wherein when the battery pack is coupled to the battery mounting portion, the rotation axis intersects the battery pack.

A mud mixer comprising:
- a tool body;
- an electric motor supported by the tool body;
- a chuck that selectively receives torque from the motor, causing the chuck to rotate, the chuck configured to hold a mixing element;
- a first handle integrally coupled to the tool body and defining a handle axis;
- a second handle moveably coupled to the tool body and moveable between a first position, in which the second handle is arranged along the handle axis, and a second position, in which second handle is not arranged along the handle axis, the second handle including an elongate bore extending parallel to or coaxial with the handle axis when the second handle is in the first position;
- and
- a chuck key for tightening and loosening the chuck, the chuck key including a toothed portion and a rod portion that extends perpendicular to the toothed portion,
- wherein the the rod portion of the chuck key is selectively received in the elongate bore of the second handle.
