ANSWER: Tile leveler
The Tuscan Leveling System designed by the Pearl Abrasive Company is a new product said to eliminate lippage and uneven settling during the installation of large format tiles over 12-inches. The two-part system is made up of a strap that sits under the tile during installation, and a cap that’s tightened on top of the tile using a specialty tool. Afterward, straps are be removed and caps can be reused on future tiling projects.
Expect to pay around $60 for a 2-gallon bucket of 200 straps, $240 for a 2 gallon bucket of 200 caps, and an extra $110 for the installation tool.

btw - if you ever see a tile company using these - run...
I agree that ALL of these matter, but the one that I didn’t used think was all that important (and was proven wrong about) was being prolific and writing consistently.
Actually this is a great product, Thinset will settle overnight leaving some "lippage" This system would fix that common problem in the industry. This idea has been used in Europe since like the 1300's! They used other products to achieve the same result, but in the end same concept. - thetileman
