Abstract: A method for laying tiles or other coating elements where a separator is placed under, above and between adjacent tiles during the process of cementing the tiles to a surface. The method includes: placing a metal rod of a one-piece tile separator between two adjacent tiles, with a metal base part under adjacent tiles, sliding a tile holder onto the metal rod, where one-way steel jaws opposite each other in the tile holder are pressured towards two opposed smooth surfaces of the metal rod, preventing return movement of the tile holder along the metal rod while the opposed one-way steel jaws indent the softer metal surface of the metal rod.

Abstract: A magnetic Tee-nut holder for use in a Tee-nut setting machine having a f guide channel for feeding and guiding Tee-nuts towards the end of the channel in registration with a rod for driving the endmost Tee-nut into a workpiece. The magnetic Tee-nut holder is positioned at the end of the channel for magnetically holding the endmost Tee-nut in a position in registration with the driving rod. Also disclosed is a method of magnetically holding a Tee-nut at the end of a feed guide channel of a Tee-nut setting machine, for driving by a driving rod.
