A great helper and . . . great Folks [Posted on 2008-05-09]
Larry Haun's article in Fine Homebuilding (Feb/March '08) put me on to this wonderful time & frustration saver.

A description flub on my purchase confirmation (from Amazon) was quickly and cheerfully cleared up with my phone call to Isabel (the "Mom" I trust, of the Mom & Pop operation which manufacturers this inventive helper).

And, speedier than expected for the US Postal Service, it promptly and correctly arrived just a couple of days following.

I love to work alone! [Posted on 2008-07-13]
WOW! These things are fantastic! I purchased these to side my new home. I am building the house alone so anytime I can get a third hand, it is nice. These absolutely allow me to install the siding alone. I have just completed the first wall (28 feet wide, 30 feet to the top of the peak) and it has gone without a hitch. I would not install siding without these, even with a human helper.

A life saver! [Posted on 2008-08-08]
I am NOT a builder. I sided a 3800 sq/ft modern box home *ALONE* thanks to these things. I had a friend (that took these from me when I finished!) show me how to start and turned me loose on my own! I don't know how to say how great these little things are! My home is VERY contemporary and straight lines are manditory. With these guys that was NO PROBLEM! I was able to adjust up and down to match butt joints and keep full plumb on every board! I would leave board up two stories when my nailer would jam and it stayed..ready to go!(watch out for wind gusts) Thesze are a must have for ANYBODY that hangs Hardiplank. Thanks for making them!!!

Easy and Accurate [Posted on 2008-08-21]
These are very simple to use just like in the instructions. They have held up well on my project. I'm a total novice and the learning curve is quite shallow. The results I'm getting are fantastic (I'm 3/4 done with my whole house). I would recommend, nay insist on these to anyone doing cement siding. It's an extra set of hands that never move the plank. I would caution any other novices that solo siding is a bit of a stretch. Don't get me wrong it is do-able; however for me, it was slow going. On the weekends with 1 or 2 helpers the project really took off. The $35 bucks was absolutely worth it.

Great invention!!! [Posted on 2008-08-28]
I just re-sided my whole house using these gauges. I never could have done it without them. I was working alone, so an extra set of hands (gauges) came in handy. Very satisfied. I would highly recommend. They are well worth the money.
