A rubber mallet to properly connect the interlocks and a carpet knife or any other cutter suitable for vinyl tiles.

No, tiles are not manufactured for direct exposure to ultraviolet rays.
What are GarageTile tiles made from?
Recycled materials that were destined for our landfills. Environmentally friendly GarageTile tiles make good use of what we would normally throw away.
Can I use a floor jack?
The tile will hold up fine to just about anything that you can put on it. It is a vinyl product, so it will compress under heavy loads. You can use a floor jack to lift a van or car on the tiles and won’t have any problems. Jack stands with sharp edges will cut into the tile, so be careful with them but floor jacks, engine stands, hoists, bottle jacks, toolboxes, etc. will be fine. You're best off simply putting a small piece of plywood underneath to dissipate the load, or just pop out the tile use the hoist, then pop them back into place
