Customer Reviews for QEP 4 in. x 10.5 in. XL Non-Stick Gum Rubber Grout Float with Wood Handle

The adhesive failed, if I’ve learned something here it’s to have a backup float and not to trust this one.

I purchased the spacers while tiling the basement bathroom. The spacers were an ideal size for the tile we chose. I was also able to use them to help clean and keep the mortar out of the channels. The only issues are when working around the door and if they turn while installing other tile.

Once the lead breaks inside the pencil there is nothing to hold the lead in & when you turn pencil to write the lead falls out. Lead either broke when purchased or it broke with the first attempt to use. Finally able to take pencil apart to remove broken piece from holder & replace with longer piece but can't figure out how to put it back together. I've waisted too much time with this will pitch it and purchase the old fashioned Listo brand that I had for years.

It’s a float not a Maserati

Had to constantly throw away thicker and thinner pieces. Bunch of misshapen pieces also. Would stay away from these if you don't like sorting while tiling.

I used these with groutable peel and stick tile. The tile itself being peel and stick isn’t thick enough to hold the spacers up well and having to roll the floor prior to grouting the spacers aren’t something you should keep in place, but they served the purpose of spacing the tiles the 1/8” necessary for grouting so only used them temporarily to space and stick the tile then pulled them up to roll the floor and then grout.

They fit well, didn’t slip much but after a few days of usage I went to remove it and ripped the stitched Velcro right off. Easy fix at home but definitely inconvenient. Double stitching at fabrication could help.

The grout float worked well in large open areas like floors and some shower walls. But in showers where there were cut outs, wall niches or soap dished, corner shelves, towel bars, faucets, shower heads and spigots, it was too hard to maneuver into the grout lines and force grout into the seams. I found a smaller trowel to effective in some cases but generally ended up using my fingers to apply grout faster and easier in these areas. I recommend XL Non-stick towel for primarily open tile areas with as few interference points as possible. The softer sponge backing was helpful when forcing grout into smaller 1/16 grout lines. The trowel seemed to clean up well but the unfinished handle tended to collect a lot of grout in the wood fibers and was difficult to remove.

Worked perfectly the 1st day until i washed it and left it to dry. The next day it was rusted on the end. Cheap metal nice handle. To bad the metal wasnt as good as the glue holding the freaking stucker on!

These Pro MAX Gel knee pads model # 79645 are great! The gel core incapsulated in EVA foam makes these comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The micro hook and loop and loop fastening strap does a great job at holding these pads in place, I have had minimal slippage and adjusting. I am using these with jeans and bare skin and have no complaints. The stitching is professionally done and looks nice. I'm installing flooring and so far they are holding up nicely.

Rust spots apper on the trowel after 2 uses and I have other trowels used at the same time but only this trowel got rusted. I should have purchased more quality trowel.

These worked great for an at home wall tiling project and theyre definitley the perfect size spacers!

Pros: they are spacers, they are reusable, they are affordable. Cons: they are not fool proof.

I like alot

First time grouting and it worked beautifully

Good

Float worked perfect and can't beat Home Depot price. Easy to clean off.

Easy and comfortable to use! Easy to clean and will probably last for years.

What can I say? They are tile spacers.

tips need to be longer and thicker, the plastic breaks easily...junk!
