This leveling system was an interesting learning experience for me. I liked the idea of a reusable leveling system. However, given my limited skills, I found using this challenging and not something I would do again. It does say on the product page that this is for professionals, which I'm not, so I will divide this review into two parts: the review of just the product and the review of the product relative to my limited skill level and the tile size I'm using.Regarding the product, this system is quite nice. You get many pieces that should be enough to complete almost any project. There was relatively little flex when I tried to align the pins perpendicular to the tile edge so they could hold. The plastic parts are rigid enough, and the wrenches are handy. Also, the price seems very reasonable for the number of pieces you get and the reusable aspect.That said, if you are relatively new to this, like me, there are a few things to be aware of. First, the metal pin must be inserted, aligned, and removed before the thin set gets too hard, or the pin will break when you try to remove it. The leveling systems with plastic levelers are designed to have the levelers break below the surface so you can knock them off when you want to. Conversely, since these metal pins are not intended to break, they can break at heights that can stick above the surface. Not helpful.To be clear, this is a bit like me saying that if you hit the brakes on your car too late and you crash, it's the brakes' fault. It's not really a fair criticism. But if you are new to driving, a car with bigger, more forgiving brakes is a good choice.The second aspect I didn't think about well enough is that with larger format tiles (I'm using 12x24), once placed on the thin set, there is a lot of upward resistance. As a result, the metal pins can bend to where one tile is tight against the leveler, and the pin is tight against that leveler, but because the pin is bent, the other tile is a bit lower. This problem is partly a function of placing the pins at the right time. But I didn't have the skill for that at scale.Net, I think this is a good-quality set at a fair price, but it required a bit of skill beyond my level. Hence, four stars: five for the product and three for its fit with me.

These levelers will do the job they're designed to do. The spacers are consistent and clean of burs. The leveler components have very little friction and twist with ease, important when have dozens if not hundreds of tiles to level out. The T-pins are perfectly sized to grip the tile but also remove without scraping away too much grout.I've used different types before but these seem more durable and will function just as good, if not better for repeat use. Buying in bulk at this low of a price is the best bang for your buck.

These were good for my tiling job. I loved how easy they were to go in and out. The spacing size was good and so simple concept
