In summary:These levelling spacers are just the job to get professional looking results at a fraction of the cost when compared to other tile levelling brands. There are some downsides, but all tile levelling systems have their pros and cons. Overall these are well worth the investment.Background:Before using these I had previously used another brands system which uses consumable plastic bases with reusable wedges to level and lock the tiles in place. Whilst effective these proved to be too expensive when using medium/ small floor tiles (as a lot are needed) and also had to be "adjusted" to get maximum "lock" as the holes in the plastic base were not big enough. The main advantage of this disposable clip was that once fitted you could forget about them until the next day where you kick them off to snap off the plastic tops. Any glue which had oozed out around the clips was then removed (whilst possible, was time consuming).Because of the cost I took the chance on the TOPWAY levelling clips, to see how they fared...The TOPWAY clips are easy to use when working with someone else. The T shape goes between 2 tiles and the orange top is twisted 90 degrees. Holding the orange top in this position, the black screw base is then tightened up. This is very effective at levelling the tiles, but having an extra person to hold the tile in position is helpful here. Without an extra person the tiles have a habit of moving as the clip is tightened. It is not impossible to work alone with these, but you will have more faff. One solution it to have a few short lengths of cls timber pressed up to the edges of the tiles that you kneel on as you tighten the clips. This stops sideways movements.Once fitted the really important thing is not leaving them in too long with rapid set adhesive. If you do and they get stuck you can remove them by twisting them, they will snap off just above the metal T shape, wasting a reusable clip.This can be avoided by twisting the T shape around a few times when you put the tile clip in initially. This doesn't add much time to the job and makes removal much easier (as adhesive is pushed out of the way).I removed most of the clips once the next batch of adhesive was about to be prepared (leaving the ones nearest the next tiles to be laid in place for a little longer).After removing the clips a good stiff brush is perfect to clean off the adhesive whilst it is "cheesy", leave it longer and you will have more work on your hands. Also as the clips were removed it was easier to clear up adhesive from around the tiles too.One final tip is to scrape out a small space under the leading edge of your laid tiles if you a pausing for a break as these clips will not be fitted so easily if the adhesive sets (this will stop you levelling the freshly laid tiles next to the previously laid tiles).How many to buy?I bought 200pcs but 100 would probably be sufficient (because there is a limit to how many you can actually lay before rapid set adhesive sets)and this would allow for some losses if your budget it tight.After laying about 30 square metres of smaller tiles I lost about 8 clips in total. Most of these were lost early on as I learned how best to use them.Bottom line: These are the clips I would buy first if I were starting out again.

Spent a long time considering different options. I really didn't like the idea of leaving plastic bits under the grout. I know that when not broken off correctly they can stick out from the grout. Plus those systems needed special tools and were more for contractors as an investment. Our contractor didn't have any system himself so I bought this for him to use. He seemed a little dubious but didn't mention any issues using it to tile our shower. I removed them later that evening and it went quick with no issues. I realized that you know how to turn the pin part because the plastic handle sticks out where the pin sticks out. Then it was even easier to pop them all out. Never had any pins bend, break, or get stuck. Grouting the next day was super easy, no worry about covering any bits of plastic like other systems. Plus no recurring cost or expensive clips to buy. One con is you will still need spacers but those are pretty cheap and easy to use. I think it's a better system in many ways but definitely for the diy homeowner.

Il sistema funziona, ma la colla rimane attaccata nella parte in acciaio " che dopo una sola volta si sono arrugginiti" utilizzando colla di ottima qualità per sovrapposizione,lasciando montati per 13 ore
