PrecisionPivot Tile Hole Locator drops onto tile and aligns with the fixture to produce a precise mark, letting you cut once and install cleanly without cracking the tile during bathroom or kitchen renovations.
Four matched hole diameters are built in for real-world fixtures: 25mm, 40mm, and 45mm full circles plus a 55mm top notch for larger pipe stubs. These sizes cover water supply lines, sink drains, shower valve stems, and typical stub-outs you encounter in residential projects.
Corner markers are integrated for outlet and wire boxes: the L-shaped cutouts trace standard boxes in a single pass, removing the need for a second template or extra measuring steps.
The locator is manufactured from stainless steel, keeping it flat against the tile as you work. It won’t flex like plastic, won’t rust like stamped metal, and maintains its shape even after tossing it in the bag at day’s end.
The tool marks pipes, outlets, and drains in a single pass. Choose the hole size that fits your fixture, align the cross-arm with the tile edge or grout line, tighten the wing-nut to lock the pivot, then trace the line with a marker or grease pencil. The process takes about 15 seconds per fixture cutout, after which you can drill, score, or use a wet saw to complete the opening.
Plastic templates bend the moment a marker presses through, and generic rulers don’t provide matching hole sizes—so you end up guessing diameter and hoping for the best. The PrecisionPivot includes the four practical sizes that show up most in home bathroom and kitchen work, plus built-in corner markers for outlet boxes, all in one sturdy stainless tool.

- Will the hole sizes fit my pipes and fixtures? The 25mm, 40mm, and 45mm circles cover the most common water supply lines, sink drains, and shower valve stems. The 55mm top notch fits larger stub-outs. If a fixture sits outside this range, this tool isn’t the right fit for that cut.
- Does it work on porcelain, ceramic, or other tiles? It is a marking template, not a cutter, so tile material doesn’t limit use. Mark the hole position, then cut with the method your tile requires (wet saw, hole saw, or diamond bit). Works on ceramic, porcelain, stone, and glass tiles.
- Is it durable for a full bathroom or kitchen job? Yes. Stainless steel remains flat, resists bending, and won’t rust, making it suitable for repeated use through a project.
