Bought a cheap $80 mortar mixer off a truck, thing shook itself apart in two hours.

Remember my buddy tried to mix a small patio slab with one of those. It started hopping across his driveway like a angry toad, then the whole drum mount just sheared right off. He was picking up bolts and chunks of metal for twenty minutes. Honestly, you're lucky yours held together for two whole hours. Some of that stuff is just scrap metal waiting to happen.

Oh man, "hopping across his driveway like an angry toad" is the perfect way to put it. I had a cheap one years ago that tried to walk itself right off my porch steps. The whole motor mount bent, and it sounded like a toolbox falling down a flight of stairs. I swear some companies just weld random parts together and call it a mixer. You're totally right about it being scrap metal waiting to happen.
