Description

Works with 5/16 inches (7.9 mm) fiber cement siding. Permits 1-person application of panels. Two gauges support entire length of panel and precisely gauge a standard 1-1/4 inches (31.2 mm). From the Manufacturer Malco FCG2 1-1/4 Inch Overlap 5/16-Inch Thickness Fiber Cement Siding Gauges are used to permit one-person application of fiber cement siding by completely freeing the installer's hands. Two gauges support the length of plank and precisely gauge a standard 1-1/4-inch overlap in one easy step even on a bowed wall. No adjustments to make and nothing to mark. To use the plank gauges simply place a pair of gauges on the top edge of the lower plank then place the next plank on the gauges. Nail the plank in place leaving an area of about 18 inches over each gauge unnailed. Remove the gauges by depressing the thumb tab to allow the plank to go flush to the wall/gauge, lift the gauge up, pull out then down. After removing the gauges complete nailing the plank and hang the gauge on the new plank. Gauges are durable, made from one piece tempered spring steel. Precision ground tip assures gauge will grip behind siding. 2 gauges per package.

  • Worked great for me.
Used these to side my house with the narrow Hardy board siding. They are not adjustable, but that was okay with me since I don't plan to use them on any different size siding.

  • Very efficient tools
I used it for installing smart lap siding on a house/garage project

  • Clips make putting up siding a breeze
I have used the clips to be able to put up 12 foot pieces in a quick fashion. A couple nails in place, remove them and finish nailing it, quick and easy

  • Necessary to make sure boards at level.
Do it yourselfer. Great addition for replacing boards on my house. Eliminates the need for a second person.

  • Great tool for those who pay attention to detail
Picture (1 yellow) Shows correct placement for installation of hardie plank siding. Picture (2 orange) is not for installation, but for removing the hanger after it has been nailed in place. Pic (3) is the button to depress for allowing you to remove the clip from the fiber cement siding. Pic (4) shows 3 tabs/teeth or whatever you’d like to call them, but the middle one is longer and meant to slide behind your lower piece of siding while the ones on each side just sit on top of the existing siding. If correctly put in place and sitting level on the existing piece these easily handle the weight of 12’ siding. They really do make 12’ siding a one man job when hanging. The One big flaw in the instructions and details I received (when blind nailing) was that it doesn’t mention the gap that is sometimes left on the bottom edge. This happens a lot truthfully, but if you can hang it using the clips and nail only one nail [ (one) nail will hold the siding up and the (one) nail will also allow you to pivot the other end if needed to stay level. ] my (one) nail allowed me to hang the siding with minimal difficulty and trust it would be extremely close if not exact in my 7” reveal. I would randomly check the reveal before applying my one nail, approximately 18”-24” away from my hanger/clip and then I would remove the first hanger then move on to the opposite end, prepare to nail this other side and then remove my other clip before checking to be sure the siding laid flat on itself with no gap on the under side of the piece being nailed. I didn’t have this problem with gapping on every piece, but to many to ignore and I didn’t want to have to go back and add finish nails in the face. Except for when I was moving around and installing siding up on ladders it was no trouble to use the hanger/clip apply one nail and remove the clip before nailing the siding off on the studs. Overall these things are great even if a little bit high priced. I’ll continue using mine and would recommend them, just use caution and pay attention and they work well. ... show more

  • Easy little tool
The instruction helped. At first i was having trouble removing it after putting the first nail in. But after reading the instruction diagram. I learnt how to use it. Good little tool.

  • Could be better
Not as easy to use as I thought, has made installing by myself easier but have to adjust boards to correct position.
