Easy to assemble with the MLT Reusable Straps. The straps have a key hole-type opening. The tabs on the plate insert into the larger opening on the strap and slide/snap into the smaller key hole opening.

I purchased porcelain plates and straps from Stone Tooling and was totally pleased with the product and the service. The sales dept is totally up to the job and extremely helpful with any question and very courteous and polite. I would suggest anyone needing tile or stone supplies to go to them whether in person or on line. Dirk Wilson Ceramic Tile and Stone Contracting So.California

The MLT system, performs as described. does not eliminate the need for a competent installer. It works as a Clamp to hold tiles together, so as your thinset bed cures, the tiles don't shift. It also performs well in fine tuning small lippage between tiles, as well as lining up slightly warped tiles. The Stonetooling team were helpful with my questions and got my purchased items to me fast.

The MLT system works so great, I would recommend this system to any DYI or Pro. ST got my order to me fast and the boxes were packed great and with care. I will not hesitate to order from ST again!!

Ordered several times from Stone Tooling and they get things out when they say and they are always packaged to handle and rough handling from the shippers.

I think that would be a good base plate but you have to use at least ⅝ trowel. ½ is to thin. Now I have 500 bucks in base plates that's going to take forever to use. the end result is nice but it takes a long time to put these in. Also tabs pull threw bases 1 out of 40 not to bad. If u set gun on 2 they all break threw

The bottome plates for the MLT system are extremely easy to attatch to the straps and give excellent holding power when pressure is applied durning the adjustment phase. I found no problem using them at all and will again use the entire MLT system for the final adjustment to eleminate lippage.

I found after a small learning curve, maybe 4 or 5 hrs that the plates worked and fit well under the tiles and stayed in position while continueing down the row. Just make sure you slide them under the tile and try not to sandwich the thinset between the bottom of the tile and the top of the plate.

Stone Tooling is an excellent company to do business with. I have purchased items numerous time from them and they have always been very helpful and knowledgeable. I don''t hesitate to contact them with any questions or purchases. Try the out and you won't be disappointed. Dirk Wilson Tile and Stone Contracting
