Pactool International Gecko Gauge Clamp For 7/16 In. Thick Composite Siding 2Pk

They work great! My siding was up to 16ft long and it held them up perfectly.

Great for lp siding and other siding, get your bottom one started and straight. And use this and keep a check.

Worked great!

I Purchased this product after years of making my own site made clips for siding. I would recommend these for anyone working alone hanging longer sections of lap siding. I recently used them to hang 3/8x8x16' LP SmartSide textured lap siding and they were very helpful and were capable of holding the weight of the lap siding. The levers are a cam which applies pressure to the lap siding material to friction fit in place holding the loose piece above. It took a few pieces to get used to how far to tighten the level/cam, too far and the tool would rock away from the wall, too little and it would not hold. Once you have a feel for the level/cam they work very well. I read others reviews prior to purchasing and I did not experience issues with micro adjustments as noted in the other reviews. I was able to install at a desired lap of 1-1/8" easily and consistently. The tool held up from a durability standpoint and several drops from 12'-16' onto rock, grass, concrete, etc. I would note the provided acorn cap nut on the lap size adjustment bolt came off multiple times during the first project. I ended up swapping the acorn cap nut for a nylon lock nut and it fixed the issue. I would recommend doing this. The only other suggestion I would have is potentially swapping the direction of the lever/cam to point down when engaged. When handing 16' material by myself I inadvertently hit the lever/cam downward several times which causes the tool to drop to the ground. Overall I would recommend this tool to others. I would give a 5 star review if they came with nylon lock nuts in lieu of acorn cap nuts.

This tool made the project much easier and also faster.

We are currently putting Hardie board planks up and these make it so easy you can do it yourself! They slide in under the second board and space it where it you want it. It is adjustable to make the spacing different sizes as to if you want a straight line on either side of a door or window. They work great! Originally bought a set at Lowe's, but returned them as I needed to get a building permit to do this work so I had to wait. Then I found them on Amazon. Less expensive and shipped out immediately. If you are a homeowner as I am and doing this work yourself, don't forget to wrap your house with the correct tape and use the Gecko's. They make putting it up so easy!

Great Tool Give you the ability to install 12' boards by yourself

Absolute must have product for lap siding installation. It enabled me to work solo, but I imagine it is also useful to increase efficiency when working as a team.

Ohne dieses super geniale Werkzeug ist eine Montage van Hardie Plank Panele fast unmöglich. Und das zu einem Bruchteil vom Preis. Danke

Absolute must for installation of cladding. Makes single person install easy. Easy to set up and use. Excellent quality product

Au top!

Erleichtert die Arbeit ungemein

extraordinairement, efficace. Pour éviter d’abîmer les clin, il suffit de glisser avant de bloquer les pinces, un petit bout de tissu ou un carré découper dans un écran hPV.
