Works very well. I was able to hang siding up 20 feet by myself using two of these. No issues. I cant imagine doing this any other way after using these.
They seem to be lasting fine on this current job. After using them for a few days, I can say these pay for themselves in the first hour you use them.There are plastic parts in this tool but they seem as durable as can be.
I bought a new siding gun and saw these listed as 'also bought'. I, as most pros, don't like plastic anything.
Having run Hardie Plank on several previous jobs, I was looking for a solution to having only two hands. That said, due to a few positive reviews of this product, I bit the bullet and got them.
Plastic wears out. Quickly.
In the future when I bid a job, I am going to plan to allow for a new set of these. Bottom line: I will buy these again.
I can't imagine one person having to handle much more than that and these things were the only reason it was possible. My overlaps varied quite a bit some times so being able to adjust board to get exactly line up was really helpful.
Wanted it hard to tell there was any patching at all so tore back the old siding all the way to any joints. I bought these to patch some hardboard siding after installing some new windows in my house.
They did everything I needed. This left me with some long pieces, 16 feet, I couldn't hold by myself.
After looking around, decided these were my cheapest/best option. I have 12 inch wide hardboard planks with anywhere from a 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch overlap, some of my pieces were 16 feet long and I had to wedge them under another row of already installed siding.
Perfect little tools to assist and they are priced very reasonably.
Someone should get rich (and probably will) for having this idea. I purchased the SoloSider tools some time ago in anticipation of using fiber cement siding on a remodeling job. I starting using them today. I normally work alone, and this product makes it possible to install the rather cumbersome fiber cement lap siding solo. I don't know how they will hold up over time, but so far this is a great product.
Works simply and is very accurate and repeatable. I found this shopping for a nail gun on Amazon and saw that working alone it was the best solution to hold the planks. What really sold me was that it adjusts to less that 4" exposure which is what I needed. With two people one was cutting and with this one was hanging and we had a very even pace and got a lot done quickly. Greate product.
