Has anyone used this?
I have and wondered if anyone else had and what they thought of it.

Would definately give them a go but can't find a UK supplier.
Where did you get them and were they any good?

Cheers

Just another gimmick...........if you are a good fixer , you don't need to use this type of product..........

Probably good for diy'ers but not a trades man..IMO......

Very aukward to use, pushing wedges into the clips really hurts your thumbs.
The clips could do with coming in 2mm, 5mm etc thickness to save putting in a spacer, as this was also time consuming.
Problems if any adhesive at all got between the clip and the tile, it caused grout lines to widen.
Impossible to lift a tile and relay it. And if you dont finish the job all in one day there are problems carrying on where the addy has dried under the clip causing the next tile to sit proud. Then you have to try and either get the clip out and not use one on that joint or try to dig addy from under it, both very difficult. We were laying porc tiles to test the stuff and got a few chipped tiles when trying to remove the clips, hence we had to lift and relay some.
My overall thoughts are that they are clumsy, hard work and not worth the hassle. The floor (28M²) took at least 1/2 a day longer to lay.
These are purely my personal thoughts and I am not saying that everyone will find them as painful to use.

I am sure that even the best tilers in the world get lippage, these are supposed to help eliminate this on very expensive jobs. A good professional will always accept help if it is available to do a better job IMO :yawn:

Then I'm sure all the pro tilers that buy their gear from Bee n cue will be extatic to find this cant live without product :lol:

I'd have a go!

No way can they make up for an uneven floor or poor prep' though.
I would imagine (if they work like they seem to claim) that with straight-edge tiles i.e. polished porcelain, they may make a "good job" that bit more perfect.

I like the concept, but would have to try it to see.

Have now ordered some Tuscan levelling system gear to compare.
