Ryans asked me to let you know what i think
Firstly. its the same as their excalibur or r****a's s*p*r*lex spat. it does the same job but is an updated model.
the main selling point is the fact that you can change the blades. I was sent two thickness'. One i'm guessing is the original thickness on the excalibur and the other is thicker.
I tried it with the thicker first and it left too many lines. i had to bend the ends back slightly on my excalibur and its not so easy to do so with the thicker blade on the EZE spat so i switched to the thinner blade. I think the thicker blades will be ideal for base coat on the thin coat systems.
I was skimming a straight forward flat boarded wall so thought i'd use it for the whole process to see how it worked. similar outcome to the excalibur. I like using it for flattening 1st coat and sometimes 2nd coat just before a trowel but i'm not happy with the finish it leaves if used to finish. i think its because the blades are not 'worn in'. I have told Ryan about this and he said he will speak to the manufacturers to see if they can try making a worn in blade.
I was given the 600mm and my excalibur is the 1000mm. The new metal handle is slightly heavier but not too noticable although they do sell a 2m EZE spat which would be good for some jobs but i wouldnt fancy using it all day.
Lastly, its cheaper than the excalibur and r****a's s*p*r*lex which is always a bonus so overall its a good tool to have in the van but you always need your old faithful trowel. there will always be sceptics so buy one and try it!
oh and i must add it arrived next day as promised. well packaged and well protected
