Remove Tile Spacers Before Grouting
After tile has been positioned and the spacers are ready to be removed, pulling them individually by hand can be slow and awkward. The TSP473 gives installers a dedicated tool for getting beneath the spacer and applying controlled leverage.
Insert the tip underneath the spacer, then rock the tool backward to lift and pop the spacer out of the joint.
Hardened & Tempered Steel Blade
The working end is made from hardened and tempered steel for durability and reliable leverage. This construction helps the tool withstand repeated spacer-removal work on tile installation projects.
DuraSoft® Handle with Finger Guard
The MARSHALLTOWN DuraSoft® handle provides a comfortable, secure grip for repetitive use. An integrated finger guard helps improve control and comfort while working along tile joints.
