The Tile Pick Removes Damaged or Misplaced Tile Saving Time and Money

By FLOOR Trends & Installation Editors
The Tile Pick

June 20, 2025

The Tile Pick is a lightweight, easy-to-use, stainless steel tool, perfect for lifting up a tile that has been damaged or misplaced and risking damage from using a trowel or screwdriver. This U.S.-made tool is designed to target and lift tiles cleanly with no unnecessary scraping and prying, saving time on repairs and adjustments. 

Professional tile setter, Ken Ballin, owner, Skyro Floors, reviewed the tool in his feature story "10 Tool Innovations Every Flooring Contractor Should Have on Their Wish List." He said, "Designed to be a versatile tool for removing set tiles, making minor adjustments, or removing stubborn hard to reach thinset, the Tile Pick is a must-have for every tile setter. The lightweight and ergonomic design allows for precise tile lifting and reduces hand fatigue during use. Such a simple idea but entirely worth adding to the toolbox."
