I finally bought a $300 mortar mixer attachment for my drill

Thought it was a waste of money but after mixing 15 bags of type S by hand last Tuesday my shoulder gave out and now I get it done in half the time with way less pain, anyone else made the jump from hand mixing?

15 bags is NOTHING to laugh at when you're mixing by hand in a wheelbarrow. I did 10 bags of redi-mix for a small patio last spring and my right arm was DONE for two days. That $300 mixer attachment sounds expensive but shoulder surgery costs a LOT more, trust me. Type S is extra gritty too, that stuff fights you the whole way. You made the RIGHT call spending the money on your body.

15 bags doesn't sound like a shoulder emergency.
