Trying to get render to actually stick on those annoyingly smooth surfaces? We’ve been checking out the Everbuild Rendagrip, a red bonding agent that claims to sort out common rendering headaches. It’s a polymer-based product loaded with fine aggregate particles to give render something to bite onto.
Rendagrip cuts down the porosity of base substrates and gives a mechanical key thanks to its gritty texture. What’s genuinely handy: you can slap it on damp surfaces, since it’s waterproof.
It’s decent on concrete, lightweight blockwork, and brick. People really like the single coat application—you just brush
Trying to run your 110V tools on a UK construction site? We took a close look at the Faithfull Site Transformer, and honestly, it seems like a pretty practical pick for tradespeople who just want their gear to work without drama.
This 3.3 kVA transformer takes standard 240V mains and drops it down to dual 110V outputs. The tough, waterproof case is IP44 rated—so it shrugs off most of the typical site abuse.
With two 16-amp sockets, you can run more than one tool at the same time. There's also thermal overload protection that resets itself when things cool down, which is a relief if you ever push it a bit too far.
