How to Use Easy-Pull Tile Spacers

Insert Easy-Pull Tile Spacers at corners to evenly space your tiles, as shown above.When mortar is dry, grasp the tab and pull out - no tile-spacer removal tool required!Fast and easy! Clear entire floors of tile spacers in a fraction of the time it took to remove old-fashioned spacers.

Tips

Insert tile spacers so that the stems are all facing the same direction. The stems are flexible, so if you should need to wipe your tile clean, you can wipe in the direction the stems are facing without accidentally removing the spacers.

Plus, if you are stacking tile on a wall or shower, you can still put a level across on the tile without the stems getting in the way!
The stems on Easy Pull Tile Spacers are the same width as the prongs on the spacer. If you have a situation where a traditional spacer's shape will not fit, you can use the stem itself to space your tile!

Good idea or just another gimmick....

Interesting idea again, except I don't insert my spacers across the +, I put them in on the flat surface. i find putting them in at the + can throw out your lines, anybody else find this?

I use those little plastic match-stick type spacers (probably same as Grumpy) and find they work a treat. Nice and long so easy to pull out. However, on the porcelain job I just did the tiles were too heavy for them so I used the cross type and put them in on the flat edge using 2 legs to support the tile so worked a treat!
