SoloSider Tools, One Pair 1-1/2" Lap Siding Gauges Feature

Keeps the siding close to the wall without actually clamping it.
Great on a windy day, see description.
All hardware is either stainless steel or nickel plated.
Main body and retaining arm are tempered spring steel.
Main pivot bushing is case hardened, should last a long time.

The price is for one pair. When you set the siding on the support bar you will have an overlap of 1-1/4 1-3/8 or 1-1/2 depending on the model that you purchase. After placing a nail in the siding above the tool you just rotate the support bar 90 deg to allow the tool to be released. Their is a little ramp effect where the bar locks in above the urethane bumper allowing it to fall away from the plank It works pretty slick. It definitely will not pop off the wall while hammering a nail. You can open the support bar and fudge the plank down 1/8" but that would be max. Can be used on siding up to 3/8" thick. The tools will support fiber cement siding on a windy day (25 mph) but we have not tested this on a piece of siding over 8 inches. Instead of using a 1-1/4 siding gauge in conjunction with a facing gauge which are basicaly setting the same overlap, try using our 1-1/2 overlap gauge. This will allow you to push the board up approximately 1/4" assuring the correct exposure. 100% Made in the U.S.A.
