Don't let the cheap price fool you. This is an easy to use, quality system

I never used anything like this system before, except the cheap QP branded version available at HD. It has slide in wedges, with break off levelers That are difficult to put in tightly. Even with that difficulty I liked that one, I love this one. Easy results. As stated in other revue the reason "it picks the tile up out of the mud" is to flatten the lippage, which it was intended to do by design. Absolutely highly recommended for a difficult task that is easily resolved with this product. Also thanks for stocking this reasonably priced brand. I can't say for sure buy the other brands do the same thing at a much higher cost. Highly recommend buying this kit. You will be back for refills.

Works Fine

A short learning curve for amount of pressure to apply to gun so you don't break straps. Much less expensive than other systems that use a gun to tighten straps. Easier to use than the wedge system I tried.

We'll worth it

Having tried other leveling systems, I was a bit skeptical . This one worked great on both marble and large format porcelain tile. There is a bit of a learning curve as to how much pressure to use on tightening tool, and how many spacers to use per tile, but once you are past that it works well. Be aware this bucket only has the small red levelers,the large ones you will mostly use are sold separately. You won't use it on all installations, but. When you do it will be worth it.

This product does work at leveling tile. One problem I had with it was it spreads your grout joint as you clamp down on it. I was going with a 1/16" space but ended it with 1/8" or more in certain spots. About half way through the job I stopped using this product as it was throwing my lines off. The other problem is if you clamp down too much it will loosen the tile from the thinset.
