The DeWalt DCD240 FlexVolt XR Brushless Paddle Mixer is the ideal tool for plasterers, tilers, flooring contractors and general builders. The high power FlexVolt battery system provides the equivalent performance of a 1.8kW corded tool with the added convenience of a cordless machine. The DCD240 uses an M14 accessory connector, enabling it to be used with standard mixing paddles. It has an adjustable 5 position speed dial (300/450/550/650/725/min). When changing speeds the motor ramps up or down slowly to enable the operator to maintain sufficient control and prevent splashes. It is also fitted with a lock of switch which helps to prevent accidental starting, e.g when changing the battery.
