My mortar mixer belt snapped halfway through a patio job in Phoenix last Tuesday
I was mixing a big batch for a herringbone pattern when the motor just spun free. The belt was only six months old, a Gates PowerGrip. I had to run to the supply house for a new one, which cost me $45 and an hour of lost time. Has anyone found a more reliable belt brand for daily mixing?

Wow, my Gates belt gave out in just four months during a Tucson summer!

Heard a similar story from a buddy who swears by the Goodyear Eagle PD belts now. He runs two mixers non-stop for pool decks and said he got over a year out of the last one, even through last summer. Claims the rubber compound handles the dry heat better without getting brittle. Might be worth a look before your next supply house run.
