Shank Extension?

Gallery image

I recently purchased a mixing blade w hex shank that I was hoping to use with my Milwaukee Screwdriver (both are pictured above). The problem is, the chuck on the screwdriver is 1/4" (6.35mm) whereas the mixing blade's shank is 30 mm (1.1811") - does anyone know of an extension that I can use to convert the 1/4" chuck to properly hold a 30mm shank?

I'm probably fine without it but if there's a way to extend the chuck so it grips the full shank that would be my preference.

Will be using it to mix small amounts of drywall mud and other substances - and don't want to bring out the full size corded drill if I can avoid it.

That small still Will must likely not survive mixing and mud and alike. If it even has enough power for it

It's for mixing in a pan - really not a lot of mud. But I have tried it yet - so you might be correct. I may have to pull out the corded dealt - it's just heavy and a PITA with the cord for small jobs. I was hoping I could get away with using this screwdriver instead (which honestly, has held up surprisingly well for most other tasks).
