Tile Leveling System Clips - 400 Pcs Clips(1/8" (3mm))

Worked perfectly for an amateur tiles on my first job. A complete master bathroom remodel with tile on floor and walls.

Good

I think these might actually be better than the actual Raimondi clips. Not a single one broke sitting my master bath remodel.

I'm a tile setter by trade. Work with it everyday. I've used Raimondi clips for a decade, but tried these in a bind. I was impressed, as good if not better than the ones I usually use.

Not a pro just lots of diy tile projects. Lev-tec is my favorite of this style but $, however they never snap when using the tool, i've snapped maybe 2 out of hundreds and hundreds, the bottoms are thin.I've gone through thousands of this brand. These break off very clean, (better than levtec) any bit that may get left is easy to grab and pull out.I never snap the good brand, these if using the tool i tend to snap a few here and there, specially if dealing with an out of level situation with large format tile or plank. Just have some of the pin types when you do so you can slot those in if you snap one. These work fine for hand tightening, just did a large format 12x24 tiles shower and didn't snap one by hand but since everything was true i didn't need much leveling.Bottoms are thicker, i've only found this to be an issue when stopping for the day and not setting my clips for the next (i'm not a pro just do a good bit of tiling projects)...with thin ones like lev-tec you can multiool a slot and put them in quite easily..these are thicker you gotta get a good bit of thinset out but a trick....use a tin snip, grind back just a bit, then snip a bit off and pop em under.I do prefer the lev-tec wedges but i used those and these too when doing a plank floor.I'd probably choose my favorite if doing a shower, and these for large area due to the cost but then again i keep ordering these.tricks for this stuff is this, trowel your area, strike off 1" in or so, back butter if you prefer , place spacers, place tile...now clean up your joint you shouldn't have any squeeze out where your clips are if you struck out your area (i use a small margin or pointing trowel, same i use to keep my mud bucket clean). Next just clean any with a toothbrush and wipe your towel. If you back butter your tile, strike off the edges there too (i just wipe a quick area while i'm cleaning the tile edges).BUT ...if you try to tile like you did before a level system you'll have a heck of a mess the next day around the clips from squeeze out (yes even if you did toothbrush,etc them it will be squeezed in the clips). But if you do....a 1/16 thin kerf masonry blade on an angle grinder + shop vac hose following and steady hand, then a nylon cup brush on a drill will clean you up without damaging the tile (but test first). But try not to do that as you'll be there all day if you didn't follow my directions above the first time.

This is the first time I've used a leveling system, they seem to work really well in helping with leveling the floor. I found that using a rubber mallet hitting them from the side is the best way to remove them. I found that after tile has set and I removed the clips that the tile mortar sets up thick in the hole area and sometimes part of the clip leg will get stuck in there where the wedge goes, then you have to grind it out for grout space. Maybe this also happens to other brand clips?

I started with a different brand(pictured left) Thinking there’d wouldn’t be much of a difference I grabbed this product as a refill. These are all of the spent clips while I was transitioning and the performance is so much better! This version saved me hours over the course of tiling my house and I am so so pleased.

Wow. This system really works. I tiled my kitchen floor over the weekend, and it's the first time I've finished with absolutely no lipping. As I was sponging off the excess grout and sliding a 5-gallon bucket of water around, I immediately noticed how smoothly it slid across the floor. Normally it would get hung up on at least one tile that was a bit too high.Flattest floor I've ever installed. Very cool.
