> 3 dayThese 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.

> 3 dayDont waste your money!!! This leveling system is completely unnecessary. The floor was less level using these compared to just $3 regular spacers and if they are left too long they are almost impossible to get out. It comes with no instructions or tips.

> 3 dayVery 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.

> 3 dayWe 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!

Caveat
> 3 dayThese 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.

> 3 dayIm not very good at tiling, so when I found out about these, I bought them right away. They worked wonderfully. Id never be able to get tiles as flat and even as I would have without them. Its a very good design, although a bit pricey. I highly recommend this tile leveling system.
