100% made in the U.S.A. Patent #7,213,346. The price is for one pair. The main body is 17-7 PH stainless steel, heat treated to a spring temper. All of the plastic parts are an engineering grade glass filled nylon. These tools will not scratch prefinished siding. The SoloSiders are the only tools on the market that allow you to change the overlap dimension in real time. When you side a house, one of the most important aspects
is to line up the siding evenly with the bottoms of the windows. Also the tops if possible. If you don't manage to do this then the job not only doesn't look right, you will have to notch the siding to fit all of the windows which is a lot more work. The pros actually vary the overlap to attain this. The only way you can do this with a siding installation tool (whether it works from the top or bottom) it has to be able to change the overlap dimension.
You cannot use less than 1-1/4 overlap on fiber cement siding which is code minimum, but you can sure
use more, and should. When using to install LP Smartside 3/8 thick, one inch is the minimum overlap, which this tool does. We provide overlap charts with these tools for every width of siding and in 1/16 increments. We ship via the USPS Priority mail, which usually takes about 2 days. If you wish to use another service give us a call.

SoloSider Usage:
Good idea but poor implementation which requires disassembly of the device at each piece of siding being hung, as well as pull the piece of siding back in order to get the metal bracket off. There are better designed tools for this type of application.
a good tool:
i bought these for a job after having installed hardie planking without them. they make it possible for one person to hang siding. they let you adjust each course to level or to work one end of a run higher that the other to match up with pre-existing course variation in old work. i had to match up to 5" aluminum siding on an older house but the 5" varied a little on most courses. the solo siders allowed me to match up to that variation so the addition looks like its always been there. i could not have done... more info
Great invention!!!:
I just re-sided my whole house using these gauges. I never could have done it without them. I was working alone, so an extra set of hands (gauges) came in handy. Very satisfied. I would highly recommend. They are well worth the money.
Easy and Accurate:
These are very simple to use just like in the instructions. They have held up well on my project. I'm a total novice and the learning curve is quite shallow. The results I'm getting are fantastic (I'm 3/4 done with my whole house). I would recommend, nay insist on these to anyone doing cement siding. It's an extra set of hands that never move the plank. I would caution any other novices that solo siding is a bit of a stretch. Don't get me wrong it is do-able; however for me, it was slow going. On the... more info
