Hangers for Hardie Board Siding Tools Fit 5/16-Inch Fiber Cement Lap Siding | Siding Gauge Siding Installation Tools for Hardie Plank, 1-1/4-Inch Overlap Gauge Clamps, 2 Pack

Worked great, I installed by myself and these were a hugh help.

Worth its weight in gold for putting on hardie plank siding. Definitely recommend this product whether you have help or not.

I took on the project of residing my house on my own. I saw the fancy geko mounts you can get to hold the siding in place as you work your way up the wall however i read there was a problem that pulled the boards away from the wall which caused problems with the reveal. These were like a third of the cost and they function better than i had imagined. They are easy to use, you rest it on the previous board and throw a couple nails in, and then right before you nail past these you will want to make sure you remove the bracket just so you dont damage the panel and make it easier to remove. Removing before finalizing also makes it so you can sink the board closing to the house.

While simple and easy to use, the Hardi plank is held too far away from the previous board. When nailed, the new board does not lie flat with the previous. No way to adjust the stand-off distance. Thee are better options for installing Hardi siding.

Retired Contractor here decided to give these a try and they work installing lap siding yourself. Best way I found is to use 2 nails only hold lap siding a 12ft section lap siding then remove bracket push cement board against wall and finish nailing lap siding.Somtimes gets stuck behind lap siding bracket to remove from siding take your hammer tap up on bottom bracket and should slip out for you. This tool works once you get use to using it...If you were doing siding day after day this tool is life saver as a Carpenter 40 yrs working on homes and construction projects..

Absolutely makes hanging board siding so easy. I was able to side our barn without any assistance thanks to these hangers. I makes them spaced perfectly and it really expedites the job. Although it says for fiber cement lap siding, which i did use on the front of the barn, I used wood lap siding on the sides and the back. These hangers also worked very well for that also. This was the best investment I have made in making my job easier.

I got these when I was putting siding on a shed and they worked well, allowing me to finish the job alone. They are a little difficult on some boards to get them to set in the beginning since there needs to be a small gap at the top of the previous board, but they did their job well - saving me from messing up the spacing. Siding looks like it was supposed to, nice and straight all the way around.

These were a must have for hanging the new siding on our home.
