Tools and Hardware Reviews of SoloSider Siding Tools For 5/16 Fiber Cement Siding And 3/8 LP Smartside, Fully Adjustable Siding Gauges
Customer Review: Love um!!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a time saver! Hung 12 foot pieces 15 feet off the ground solo!
Very well built. Clip them on the already nailed siding pieces and place the new piece of siding on the Solo siders,adjust alignment & nail. Once you get in the swing of things it can go quite fast and these free up your hands to nail comfortably. One thing to be aware of is to remember to re-adjust the Solo siders from the 12 o'clock position (remove position)to your desired reveal position before nailing otherwise they are hard to remove after nailing. Glad I found them before starting my siding!
Customer Review: Sometimes the simple things work the best....
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical when I purchase this product...low expectations. Am I plesantly supprised! This guage works exactly as stated in the instructions. The fine tuning adjustments are perfect, and it appears as though the materials used to make the guages are very durable and will last for years. I had to let my siding installers go, and pick the job up my self. This tool made my life easier and removed a trememdous amount of stress over the siding job. "Wish I'd thought it up!"
Great tool...worth every penny.
Customer Review: One man siding = yes!
Summary: 5 Stars
These things work great. I've tried 3 other gauges/holders for Hardiplank, these are the best and the only ones that allow for incremental adjustments up and down while the siding is on the tool. This is what you need if you are doing a re-side here and there as you have time (like me) and have to match up with the old siding when you are done. The reveals on my original siding vary by 1/4" from row to row, this tool allows me to not only side by myself but to match up with the old siding perfectly. I love this tool!Customer Review: The SoloSider really works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the SoloSider on 4/27/09. I was very skeptical on how this worked. I own a Machine Shop and am building a new shop which requires 500 pieces of hardie board 8 1/4 siding. I built my own gage out of 1 1/4 steel straping to get the 7" reveal. I was all ready to return the SoloSider, but thought I would try it anyway. This Tool REALLY WORKS! The SoloSider inventors really did their homework. Thanks for a GREAT tool.

Customer Review: A great helper and . . . great Folks
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
