A system and method for mud mixing using a container to hold a joint compound and the water. The container having a lid to keep the container shut and preventing the liquids from escaping wherein the container may then be shaken by the user to mix the joint compound with the water. The user then may remove lid and pull on a rod and plate connected to one another at the bottom of holding container. Rod and plate act as a pressure seal, whereby when the rod is pulled all of the mud may be removed from the container and placed into a pan for use.

A mixing tool has an elongated tubular conduit with a flattened portion at a lower end, a garden hose fitting joined to an upper end, a mixing blade having one or more horizontal wings, a tapered lower end, and an extension at an upper end inserted into the flattened portion and fastened through walls of the flattened portion, and two opposing, horizontal hand grips joined to the elongated tubular conduit at a position closer to the garden hose fitting than to the mixing blade. A user is enabled to prepare a pourable concrete mix by inserting the mixing blade into a quantity of dry ingredients, connecting a garden hose, causing water to flow through the elongated tubular conduit, around the mixing blade extension, into the dry ingredients, and turning the mixing blade by manipulating the opposing horizontal handgrips, to mix the moistened dry ingredients into the pourable concrete mix.

A manual cement mixer having a mixing box with an open top, generally planar front side and rear side panels, and arcuate, parabolically curved, right and left sides forming left and right arcuate troughs, and a medial trough disposed therebetween, the troughs defining a mixing volume; a base frame for supporting said mixing box; and pivoting means for mounting said mixing box on said base frame and for manually inducing oscillations in said mixing box.
