Abstract
A mud mixer includes a tool body, and an electric motor supported by the tool body that is configured to rotate a mixing element about a rotation axis. The mud mixer further includes a first handle fixedly coupled to the tool body and extending from the tool body along a handle axis, a plane angled relative to the rotation axis and defined as an extension of the handle axis, and a second handle rotatably coupled to the tool body about the rotation axis and extending from the tool body in a direction parallel to the plane.
Claims20
A mud mixer comprising:
- a tool body;
- an electric motor supported by the tool body, the electric motor configured to rotate a mixing element about a rotation axis;
- a first handle fixedly coupled to the tool body and extending from the tool body along a central handle axis;
- a plane defined as an extension of the central handle axis, the plane angled relative to the rotation axis;
- and
- a second handle rotatably coupled to the tool body, the second handle rotatable about the rotation axis, the second handle extending from the tool body in the plane.
A mud mixer comprising:
- a tool body;
- an electric motor supported by the tool body, the electric motor configured to rotate a mixing element about a rotation axis;
- a first handle fixedly coupled to the tool body and defining a first central handle axis;
- and
- a second handle rotatably coupled to the tool body, the second handle defining a second central handle axis, the second handle movable relative the first handle such that the first central handle axis and the second central handle axis intersect at a first angle with the second handle in a first position and the first central handle axis and the second central handle axis intersect at a second angle with the second handle in a second position, the first angle being greater than the second angle.
A mud mixer comprising:
- a tool body including a battery mounting portion;
- an electric motor supported by the tool body, the electric motor configured to rotate a mixing element about a rotation axis;
- a first handle integrally coupled to the tool body and defining a first central handle axis, the first handle configured to act as a first support leg;
- and
- a second handle moveably coupled to the tool body relative to the first handle and defining a second central handle axis, the second handle configured to act as a second support leg;
- wherein the rotation axis, the first central handle axis, and the second central handle axis intersect at a common point,
- the battery mounting portion is configured to removably receive a battery pack such that the battery pack is configured to act as a third leg, and
- the first leg, the second leg, and the third leg of the mud mixer are configured to cooperate to support the mud mixer on a support surface.
