There's no sweat doing things with it (4)

I believe the answer is:

ease

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'there's no sweat doing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'things with it' is the wordplay.
'things' becomes 'eas' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'eas'+'e'='EASE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ease that I've seen before include "Free from pain" , "Make comfortable" , "Affluence" , "Lessen intensity" , "Comfort; facility" .)
