Abstract
A tile setting and installation tool is disclosed that allows for easier setting of tile marble or stone above the opening of a fireplace. The tool consists of an elongated member with a magnet located on the back of the member. The magnet attracts and temporarily holds onto a metal firebox to allow spacing and support for the tile marble or stone that is placed above the opening in the fireplace. The ends of the elongated member are thinned to the width of the grout spacing between the tiles to insure uniformity of tile marble or stone being placement or set. The tool may also included a level to verify orientation of the tile.
