A Thoughtful Surprise from EWI Pro


As tradespeople, we often work tirelessly without expecting anything more than a job well done. But occasionally, recognition comes when you least expect it. That was the case when I received a surprise package from EWI Pro—a brand I’ve trusted for years.

In this blog post, I’ll share the experience of unboxing some amazing rendering tools and materials sent as a thank-you gift. More importantly, I’ll talk about why I genuinely rate EWI Pro as one of the best rendering suppliers in the UK.


Why I Recommend EWI Pro (No Sponsorship Involved)

Before diving into the goodies, let’s get something clear—this isn’t a paid promotion. I’ve never been sponsored by EWI Pro. My positive mentions of their products on YouTube have always come from real-world usage and professional appreciation.

Over the years, I’ve used many brands, including Sto, which is also excellent. However, Sto has become increasingly difficult to source in the UK. EWI Pro, on the other hand, is easily accessible and continues to deliver high-quality rendering systems that stand the test of time.

If you’re in the trade, you know how important reliability is. With EWI Pro, I get:

  • Consistent material quality
  • Easy availability across the UK
  • Exceptional customer support

A Family Moment Turned into an Unboxing Experience

The video begins with my daughter excitedly joining me after school as we unbox the surprise package. What could have been a routine tool reveal turned into a special moment shared with my family—and my audience.

The excitement was real. “Suitcases! I love them!” my daughter exclaimed, showcasing the joy that even the smallest gestures can bring. These moments make the job so much more meaningful.


Unboxing the EWI Pro Goodies

Let’s get into the details. Here’s what EWI Pro sent over—and why each item matters to professionals like me.

1. 30-Litre Buckets

These are not your standard site buckets. They’re heavy-duty, robust, and incredibly useful. Coincidentally, one of my existing buckets had broken just the day before, making their arrival all the more perfect.

Key Benefits:

  • Larger capacity (30L vs. typical 25L)
  • More durable plastic
  • Ideal for site use, especially for mixing and carrying render

2. Regal and Barnes Hawk

A high-quality wooden handle hawk that feels great in hand. This isn’t a budget tool—it’s a professional-grade hawk built for efficiency.

What a Hawk Does:

  • Holds plaster or render for easy application
  • Essential for fast-paced, clean rendering

The craftsmanship on this hawk was instantly noticeable. Even without a screwdriver to fully assemble it during the video, the build quality stood out.

3. Two Branded Suitcases

Sturdy, stylish, and surprisingly roomy. These suitcases were an unexpected yet welcome addition to the kit. Inside them were…

4. Flexible Spatulas

Perfect for finishing jobs and detailed work. Every plasterer knows the value of flexible tools when it comes to smoothing and refining your surface.

Use Case:

  • Ideal for tight corners, patching, or smoothing silicone render
  • Better control compared to rigid blades

5. Flexible Finishing Trowel

Another standout was the Regal and Barnes finishing trowel with a cork handle. It’s a 16-inch super-flex model—perfect for polishing and final coats.

Highlights:

  • Cork handle for comfort
  • Flexible blade for a professional finish
  • Excellent size for large surfaces and detailed areas alike

6. Branded EWI Pro Hats

A fun touch that brings a bit of team spirit to the site. And yes, we’ll absolutely be wearing them in future videos!


What This Gift Really Meant

While the tools are fantastic, it’s the gesture that counts the most. Receiving an unprompted gift like this isn’t just about new gear—it’s about being recognized for your authenticity and passion for the trade.

At a time when sponsored content dominates the internet, this moment reminded me of the value of staying true to what you believe in. I use EWI Pro because I trust them—and they responded with genuine appreciation.


Why Trust Matters in Trades

If you’re a homeowner or developer reading this, know that the materials we use matter. I don’t cut corners, and I certainly don’t use products just because I’m paid to mention them.

With EWI Pro, I get reliable performance on every job, and that’s what allows me to consistently deliver:

  • Clean, durable finishes
  • Weather-resistant exterior render
  • Satisfied clients with long-lasting results
