  • One of those products you have to use to see the value
Pattern Name: Mounting Kit Style: Aluminum body
I used a pair of these on a jobsite with a different contractor and bought my own immediately. great concept and easy to use. You have to check to make sure it's seated all the way on the bottom of your siding to get the same reveal but it's self explainitory.

  • Must have tool for HardiPlank installation
Pattern Name: Mounting Kit Style: Aluminum body
I've seen folks use these before, but this is the first time I've used them. They work exactly as advertised. They have a precision fit for 5/16" thick siding. Lifting the cam lever will put force to hold the bracket and next lapped plank in place. DO NOT over tighten, and your tool will last much longer. Read the instructions. They're very short, but important. Be careful of the screws and nuts. I put mine on finger tight after adjusting to length, but after several uses, the nut came off. You'll need a helper to get your first course set, but with this tool lapping the rest of the siding is a one-man job. Super time saver! ... show more

  • If you do any siding work, you need a set of these!!
Pattern Name: Mounting Kit Style: Aluminum body
These siding hangers work better than advertised. I have been hanging hundreds of pieces of 12-foot-long siding, by myself, with these and I have no complaints. What once was a two-person job with a lot of lines to have to get aligned on is now a one-person job!! Every fifth course I would run a level and the corrections were minimal. I would not put up anymore siding without these, they are that good!! Get a set and you will see what I mean. I paid full price for these, no promo stuff here and they are worth every penny!! ... show more

  • Don’t do siding without these.
Pattern Name: Mounting Kit Style: Aluminum body
I can’t recommend these clamps enough. I sided a 2200 sq ft house with Alura cement plank siding almost entirely by myself. Some reviews say that they scratch the planks - but I think if you’re installing pre-painted materials you’re asking for such trouble. Thats just not the way things work, and if you try you’ll be disappointed. Putting a finish on materials before installation is like washing dishes before you eat. Reviews also say they dont’t hold the planks well, or there is a gap that the plank can slip into. I can see how this might happen, but on this whole house i had a clamp slip once, and that was because i was trying to slide the plank along the clamp without lifting it - obviously an unsafe move. Under normal careful use the friction clamp seems to work fine. The gap issue wasn't a problem for me - its easy to get then to grip without over-clamping them and creating a gap. Honestly, if you can’t figure these out, you should not be building or repairing your house. You’re goinna poke an eye out or something. I would recommend that you buy some fiberlock nuts to replace the “acorn” nuts that hold the cam pins in place - the repeated use loosens them and the fall 20 feet off your scaffolding and you never find them. At Ace fiberlock nuts are like $0.35 each. So for an extra dollar i got a perfect tool. Not sure how long the friction pads will hold up - like i said, after one house they work fine, but Professional use might wear them out. But if you’re a professional, are you going to worry that an inexpensive tool only lasts 5 or 10 houses? I think just the materials for my siding project came out to over $4000, plus $1400 in scaffolding rental, blah blah, $$$$. Replacing this tool when it wears out is not going to cut into your profits much. Even if they were single-use it would be worth it, these clamps are so helpful. ... show more
