Customer Reviews for RIDGID LevelMax Tile Anti-Lippage and Spacing System Flat Stem

It is the best outhere, it is really sturdy and the screw motion type is the best way

Overall it was a great product, however after a while it begins to take a toll on your hands and all the turning. But I would recommend and use a product again

this stuff is the live safer best thing ever

Laid 1,470 sq ft, using this product and I will recommend it. I normally do small areas cause I am always worried about high and low tiles. This product made it easier for me.

Outstanding product. I will never tile without this leveling system. I went through a lot more of this flat stem style than the other two spacer styles because I put one in the four centers of each tile to make the leveling process of the tiles more uniform.

Purchased this on Home Depot online after watching reviews It’s a great product definitely recommended

Great item!!!!! It made my job that much easier and the project looked like it was done by a pro!!! It’s well worth the investment!!!

I have use the wedge one's witch are good . But these are alot better . They are great if you do tile work . Highly recommend them . Only down side is unscrewing them when you break them off just take more time . Use these there great

I am a homeowner, these levers made the job a 100 times easier. I will use this product on the next install. Good product for a great price.

Solid product and wouldn't use anything else!

Good product easy to use. Helped to keep travertine tile level.

I've been tiling for over 20 yrs and these tops and spinners finally made me a master.

Best bang for your buck Leveling system that's affordable and easy to use. Used on multiple occasions. Only downside have to order from the west coast my local stores dont sell them...

I highly recommend these for leveling large tiles. We used them on our 12x24 tile flooring and it made it much easier to keep the tiles flat in relation to each other. The posts were simple to kick off after the job and these are a better price/value than other brands I looked into.

We saw a video of these on Facebook and decided to try them out. Hands down a really awesome leveling system for putting down a ceramic tile floor!! Easy to use! We tiled a 10×16 add-on mudroom in our new house. We used 2 boxes of the orange screw down anchors and 2 bags of the white spacers. We would recommend this product to anyone who's looking to lay tile...especially for beginners! This was his second time doing a tile floor and my first! It turned out amazing!! Side Note: We're not sure who constructed this mudroom (because we just bought the house last June and by September we were dealing with damage from Hurricane Florence), but its not square....so we opted to lay tile from side to side versus the traditional way of starting in the center of the room and working our way out. Plus, this room houses our pet's crates (we have 5 dogs) so we could only do half the room at a time. This product is worth the investment! I just wish it was sold in-store. We live in a rural area and its not available in-store where we live. When we ran out of the 1st bag, we had to wait 9 days for it to be shipped to our store for pick-up. Next time we'll pay the shipping to have it quicker. Also next time I will read the directions more carefully to order the correct amount for the next job we do! LOL

The best and chip 5 star

Sell them in the Bethel Park store or all the stores!

I prefer this version of the rigid anti lippage base(B) over the C and D versions, as it’s flexible and goes anywhere you need it. The C & D versions can be only used at tile intersections. I bought the C version also, but after I used them all, I re-purchased this B version exclusively. I am a DIY guy, but very handy. I used them on the shower walls, the 1/16" spacing was perfect for the tight spacing look I desired. As these only come in a 1/16" spacing, I needed the little 1/8" tombstone spacers to achieve the 18" grout spacing for my 1'x2' tile on the floor.

I've been tiling and fighting lippage for a while. I always felt like real tilers don't use levelers. After struggling to hand level a job using 36" x 6" wood plank tiles with so-so results, I bit the bullet and tried these. Amazing results. Even though it adds a step or two, there is a net savings in time. Especially if you have to tear up a tile. I'll never go back. No more blaming the tiles. I just wish that HD stocked these at my local store. They seem to be pushing the wedge method and I have to travel further to a bigger store to buy these.

They work as described.....

This works pretty well to level tile (certainly better than my last DIY tile job), but it is a bit difficult to keep the joints at 1/16. Also if you have less than stellar hand strength, it can be tough to tighten the orange top as much as needed. Some of the stems don’t break off cleanly, I haven’t grouted yet and hope the remnant in the joint doesn’t cause any problems.

Really helped close to the wall on smaller tiles and really helped level the floor which ran to the center of the room and highs/lows (uncoupling membrane). Just remember to order enough (had to grind off the tips of the T like stems) because it took over a week to arrive at the store even though sent from only 300mile away. I do not understand why they don’t sell these in the store? More user friendly, can be placed close to gether, and less spacers needed than most of the wedge systems. FYI - I purchased plastic spacers from the other spin on lipage spacer company that kept the spinners from gouging in on the soft slate.

Great way to keep the top surface of your tile smooth and even. For me, the bigger the tile, the more of challenge to keep the tops even. If your sub-floor is uneven, make sure you have an adequate amount of thinset or tile adhesive under your tile. Additionally,these spacers give you nice even grout lines for your tile job. They are available for inline seams and for corners. These top quality spaces help to give you a top quality job when you are done. I suggest you take advantage of this product......especially if your subfloor is questionable and when you are using tile larger than 12" X12"

Used this stem for all areas of tile and patterns. If your not sure what to get these work everywhere in the layout.

Easy to use.isnt cheap.cost me alot to do 800 sqft

I've used and have several systems, this one is the quickest, just spin and that's it. No tool to misplace or search for when on the job. I just hope that it stays on the shelf, it seems like tile leveling systems get replaced often, this one is a keeper.

The flat stem lippage system part B is perfect for ensuring two pieces of tile are completely level with one another. Very simple to use as all you need is the spin top that screws down onto this. Place the stem under the two pieces of tile and screw down until snug. Once the grout is dry, simply kick the spim top off, and your done. No uneven tile, no lips to trip over, and no sloppy finish. Well done by Ridgid!

I bought these thinking they would be easier the other leveling systems I have used. However, I only found them to be difficult. the spacers themselves cause the tile to sit up off the floor more then I would have liked. Thus using more thin set to lay the tile. The other issue is if you stop for the day and you tighten down the last row you may need to put spacers in on the outside edge and put scrap tile pieces next to it and tighten them down because I found when installing 6 x 24 wood look tile it will angle the tile up slightly giving you a headache when you start the next day. Now for the cage you screw down on the spacers. These orange cages you screw down to level the tile have lots of sharp edges. These terrible little things will slowly and meticulously remove little layers of skin at a time until they leave you bleeding. You won't realize it until then. Of course you will now be slower to get your tile project done because your fingers hurt and you are afraid of touching these things for fear of hurting your fingers even more. These do work you just have to go very slowly and pay attention to a lot of stupid things to get them to work correctly. I would spend your money on different system. Personally I have had great success with Raimondi Leveling Spacers. Used them on the floor and walls.
