My Lucky Horseshoe is suitable for building materials

I just laid 350 sqm. Feet of 2'x4' ceramic tile and these spacers made it perfect. I really like that they are reusable. I simply soak them in a solution of hydrochloric acid and water for 20 minutes, then rinse off the cement/mortar and they're ready to use again. You are worth every penny!

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • High price

Ceramic Tiles Won't Stay in Stack

Just wish they had a notch that allows them to stay in stack better. For example I use 2-5 at a time and if I barely touch them while placing a tile they tip over and I have to rearrange them and adjust the tile. They can be used for a project I'm working on, but they could be better.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Not Sure

However, they are excellent for tiling, especially on the wall.

These are great for tiling, especially on the wall, but I'm not sure if they're worth the extra cost. The cheaper ones I bought from a big retail store work just as well and since I can't clean them very well I threw most away.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • faint

They fit perfectly for my recent tile job

They are a lot better than the little plastic washers you buy in big department stores. They may not be that cheap but they are worth it. Easy to fold, grip and deploy. You can reuse them, use them between and even behind tiles for gaps. If you use them, you don't want to use crappy other types.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Much more versatile than traditional spacers

Day and night compared to traditional cross spacers especially for longer tiles. One benefit was stacking to achieve different heights around a tub or alcove. Easier to handle (because it's bigger) and also found that you can hang your party on an installed one, which came in handy. I wish I had bought more - ran out of the thin set!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Ideal for subway tiles.

I bought these for a bathroom renovation and they match the subway tiles perfectly. I also bought some small wedges to use to correct my lines if needed. There aren't many in a container but I used a 3 x 12 inch tile so I could work for about 4 hours and then had to stop as I ran out of spacers but no big deal I didn't want to work. much heavier than that. If you have small tiles or want to do more, buy 2 or 3 containers.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Not the best
