Works great with a hard level max

Works great. You can add a drop of dye. It's hard to see them on the floor and in the tub once you've kicked all the stalks. I would prefer them in a translucent neon color. Maybe add a more durable storage case. I would like a spring loaded tubular storage container, like a coin dispenser.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • There are cons

The best tile system I have ever used.

Durable and easy to use. I like them because after the initial install you can remove them to reconfigure and then reinstall. They don't break like other alignment systems I've used when trying to reconfigure. They also fix larger tiles and can be easily installed without additional tools.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Speed

Fisher-Price My first tile job was ONLY

This product is trash. Don't use it. Standard tile spacers are what you need if you can't use chalk line. When working with tiles I was asked to use these "nice little leveling tools". They were painful to use and then broke. Broken tiles in several places. Now I have to go back and redo the work. STAY AWAY!

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Functionality

Mandatory with Spin DR

They greatly improve results when used with Spin DR. The shields prevent the tiles from shifting when tightened. I realized this was an issue when I first started using the system and decided to give it a try. Otherwise I wouldn't have been impressed by the result. They are much stronger and thicker than I expected and I recommend them!

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Only available in Black

Reusable and protects tiles

These Spin Doctor aligners are amazing! I'm not sure if I really needed a clear shield for the strategists as I don't think the red caps will damage my tiles. But I used them and the tiles were much easier to level, especially with the 12x24 inch wall tiles. Most tiles lined up easily with neighboring tiles. I used a 3/8" spatula and got good results. Looks very professional and this was only my third tile job.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Wrinkled packaging

Be careful not to damage the tiles!

I bought this product thinking it would be an upgrade from the wedge I've been using for years. You are not. These things are TERRIBLE. I tried to break them by hitting them sideways like a rubber mallet. You won't break! I hit one so hard I broke a corner of the tile and the Spin Doctor hasn't broken YET! Now, because of these stupid things, I have to dig up a whole bunch of tricks and fix them. Broken tiles, broken tiles. Unbelievable! Trust me when I say these things are going straight toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Some issues

These are essential when laying marble or other soft natural stone with the Spin Doctor Leveling System. We placed the first section of tile under the Spin Doctor caps without using these screens and found permanent round marks where the caps rubbed against the tile when tightened. A more experienced tiler would probably (hopefully) know better, but we as beginners didn't. Suffice it to say that on the NEXT section of tile we laid, we used these shields to avoid the problem. My only complaintโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Outstanding Design
Cons
  • Useless Features
