Caveat
> 24 hourThese help a great deal in avoiding lippage. They also secure each tile so that your lateral adjustments can be precise and final. The major problem comes if you do not lay the whole floor all at once. Were doing a 350 sq foot area in stages, and found that the leveling joints (the clear plastic clips) on the edges of the area youve laid will set in such a way that the floor of each clip is slightly elevated on the side where your next course of tile will go. The result is that when you go to set the next course of tile the next day, it is slightly higher vertically than the now-dried course, and you have lippage along that joint. The solution is to avoid this by dry laying another course of tile, but using the wedges. The next day, you gently ease out the dry-laid tiles, and the clips are set in the thinset evenly, ready for you to continue the floor. Pros probably wont have this problem, but I would have liked to know about this ahead of time. IF this is unclear, just let me know, and Ill explain in more detail.

> 24 hourVery nice system for leveling tile. Does take a little getting used to putting in the spacer before setting the next tile. Once you get the pattern down they really help enhance the final look. I probably didnt need so many (500) since these wedges are reusable.

> 24 hourThese levelers break harder than the Rubi system. Have to hit them crisply so you dont leave one side of the stirrup unbroken. A broken wedge now and then will be collateral damage. Love this system over the Rubi caps, though.

> 24 hourAs other reviewer, these wedges and the associated clips are fantastic! This system will pull the tiles flat with the adjoining tiles. I laid 200 sq feet of tile over 3 days. I didnt experience any lippage / alignment problems as described by others. This may be the adhesive I used [single pack flexible adhesive with 1/2 notched trowel] or the way I set the clips. I slipped the clips in with the base of the clip tight up against the underside of the tile. I bought two bags of 500 clips - this was too many at the rate that I lay tile. With 200 sq feet of tile 1 by 2 I still have plenty of wedges left. Spend your cash on spare clips. After now laying 250 sq feet of tile I have recycled clips 3 times and I will need a third bag of clips for my next house lot of tiles. These clips / wedges make me look like an expert and I really dont have that much talent.

> 24 hourWe usd this system to tile 1500 ft2. It was tile over a concrete slab. Ive done bathrooms and laundry rooms before but this was my first large project. My 8 x 48 inch tiles were all level upon completion. I saved over $6000 dollars by not having a professional install and nobody can tell the difference, thanks to the self levelers. I wouldnt lay floor tile without them!
