Wanted (borrowing): paddle mixer for plaster

Anyone in the Ingleton/Three Peaks/Lancaster area got a big paddle mixer (one of these) we could borrow during the week 6-10th October for some plaster repair work at Bull Pot Farm? It’s too big an area to mix the plaster by hand, but too small to invest in any bigger tools ourselves. Thanks!
 
If it's only a little, at a push you can get a cheap paddle to go in a drill and put on speed 1, as opposed to a big professional mixer.
Up to 10kg mixing for £5.99 https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-hex-shank-mixing-paddle-80mm-x-400mm/880PM or bigger up to 15kg for £6.99 although that might cook a small drill?.There's a Screwfix near McDonald's in Lancaster. Dunno if that helps or you are mixing real quantities.. in which case of course you need a decent mixer. Good luck
 
I'm in Lancaster and could lend you a chunky mains drill (SDS with an adaptor for a standard chuck) to go with a Screwfix paddle. The handbook says 1020W input power, 530W output.

Thanks everyone! George, I’ll message you about the Megamix, as that seems perfect for what we need.
