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

not really gary. if you flatten between coats it is worth it for that alone. and like i said if you do thin coat render its perfect for basecoat.

i think even if it left a perfect finish. wipped your arse and give you a fresh £50 note every day you'd still say it was **** gary

ok i think i've found a way that i like to finish with them. put on, flatten and 2nd coat with the trowel. then use the spat to finish from there on. 3 wipes over with it, using no/little water seems to leave a real nice finish. also seems a bit quicker

well i've only tried it today mate so you may get away with 2 flattens. as ive said before when using a trowel i can go over it 3-5 times including a flatten between coats.

I recently bought a refina s*p*r*lex i heard they were the best thing since sliced, i used it for a week skimming doing 3 gauges a day, i tried every variation there is but alas it nowhere better than my trowel but ive been doing some parex render and used it on the base coat and it worked a treat
