Craig I think Antonio has been misunderstood here. He uses the Ramondi original brand which are of a more brittle plastic and if you have positioned them correctly they sit vertical on the wedge, if not then something is out of alignment. I've used both and the Block clips are of a more flexible plastic and bend over the wedge when you tighten them. I think Antonio thought you were using RLS and was maybe trying to offer advice 🙂
Above is two pics of both types I used this week on a job if it helps explain what I mean better

Think I'll change to these with the wedges, really rated the genesis straps but only on second job with them and found I'm having to throw quite a few of the re-usable top clips away as there not gripping the straps, wonder if I should complain..bet I've thrown away 20 out of 100 #disappointed 🙁

Andy did you try turning them round, a lot of the time that can sort it

Actually no I didn't, just pulled them off and put another one on, you can actually hear the difference when pushing on, they don't click the same, ive got all the dodgy ones in a bucket though, so could give it a try turning them round if you think that'll make a difference..

Any one used 'perfect level master'? loads of good reviews, I'm a virgin but going to pop my cherry soon, I'm flirting with the RLS and Block from ferramantaweb (what's the difference?) and the PLM at the minute and don't know which to chose, Any advice?

The block for price, I feel that a few others are charging excessive amounts for their levelling systems.

they are expensive though and I mean expensive

Looks like the block then but I don't mind paying the extra bit if there is a telling difference.

I am going to try the block ones soon. I am still using the genesis easy level at the moment. I have had no problems with the clips not gripping so i would say you have a faulty batch. Definitely complain or get a refund Andy.
Which tool do most buy?
The block one looks a bit flimsy, the raimondi looks better but does it fit the block wedges ok?

Get the Ramondi pliers and wedges and imo the Block clips are great value and do a great job, not flimsy at all.

I got some block wedges with last order and bar the colour are the same as Ramondi .
my pliers are also Ramondi, not tried the block ones
my pliers are also Ramondi, not tried the block ones
I usually use the little block beauties but I've bout a 600 Genesis bases and 400 tops and the fancy looking gun thing like the MLT one gonna give them a go on Monday I don't like the fact the bases are cupped tho like the vitrex lash clips I like the flat base like the block ones but ill give them a go and report back

The curved base actually helps, you'll find that when you try them. One advantage of them over RLS is that they never push the tile off line when you clamp them, but they are way more expensive.
They are but it's all being covered by the customer on this job they cost around £180 for 600 bases 200 small tips and 200 big tops and the fancy pants gun and holster. .. did I use 6 clips or only 5 do u feel lucky punk in the words of the legendary Clint Eastwood
