Siding Installation Tools, Siding Mounting Kit with Adjustable Reveals, Lap Siding Gauge Made of Polycarbonate Body (Green, 5/16 Inch)

My wife purchased this item for me and it was very easy to use and worked for a one person installing siding.

This is the most durable ones I have gotten. I used mine for composite lap siding and they worked perfect. Great price and once you lock them into place, they won't move. I definitely would recommend. Easy to use.

I was in construction for over 30 years and by far this is the worst tool i have ever had!! From the first use it wouldn't hold the siding without slipping. And yes i read and followed the instructions. I have modified it and got it to hold " barely" a piece of siding, the metal piece that slips under the siding bent. When clamped on, the ledge that holds the siding is far enough away from the wall so the siding slips down. I should have sent it back the first time i used it but i didn't have that much siding to put up. My advice; save some money and get someone to help you.

You really had to double and triple quadruple check each time you were hanging a board because they were prone to slipping and you had to pretty much tighten them all the way down double check triple check, and a few times that would shift without you knowing and you’d have to waste a board due to it I’m thinking since these are plastic and knock off of the real ones I would assume the actual namebrand ones would work better And for the cost of siding specifically hardy board one board being destroyed pays the difference and you can get the namebrand ones I probably destroyed a dozen 20 boards with due to these shifting cause if you to remove all boards back to the one that was off. I ended up using those boards that got destroyed for starter strips so it wasn’t too bad but if I had to do it again, I would definitely make sure I buy a namebrand one of these because these are a must for hanging siding, and also, I would highly recommend buying a siding specific nailer off the back framing nailers do not work Hence why you can’t find correct nails for framing nailers first time doing siding so you learn.

Works great

I’ve been wanting to purchase some of these but never wanted to spend a lot not knowing if they’ll work. These are a great price for a great product.

I am big into DIY projects and decided due to weather damage to put some siding on our outdoor casita. It seemed a bit like a daunting task until I found these cool siding installers. They basically hold your siding in place so you can secure them by nailing the siding in. Without them you would either need another person to hold the siding for you or use clamps and stands to hold them. The siding tools are actually not heavy but made of sturdy and durable materials. The instructions are super easy to follow and actually make installation so fast which is a total bonus. If you install siding on a regular basis this kit would be an invaluable tool for you. I personally loved using it so much and the improvement to our casita is amazing!

Love mine and they was very helpful when hanging hardy boards and work great.
