The description says it works with 5/16" siding. Pretty sure the Hardie sold in Texas is 1/4" Any problems with using these gauges for 1/4" Hardie?

The potential problem I can see is that it would not clamp quite as tight with the thinner board to the row below. If it doesn't clamp good and tight to the row below you will have to be careful in setting the next row on the guages and check a lot to make sure they don't get bumped down and out of alignment as you set your boards on the guages. If it is an issue I can see using some shims to make up the 1/16" difference where you set the guages. Hope it helps.

Unless you have positive evidence, I believe *all* Hardieplank is 5/16" (=8mm) thick. Same for Hardiepanel (4'x8' sheets). Hardietrim is different.

No problem, there is enough adjustment on the clamp cam to use it on either board. They hold real good, and are easy to remove and set them for your next board. I purchased two pairs just too make it faster. With help, one man can be nailing, and the other moving the clamps down for the next board.

It should work fine as long as the barrel is the same as the 16 gauge. Please read my previous comments about this product.

hi bob, it will take a way less then 1/4 inch, if I'm not mistaking I won't consider more than 3/16, the good part on this toy is for the small tiny job so the little bit fit just fine, I will go for it.. Sorry for the delay Bob and Thank you for asking. Good Luck. Muhammad the handyman.

It's 1 1/4. I don't think that will cover it . I would suggest 3/4 bulkhead would work for you but I don't know that it's outside diameter is 1.5. I think so but ask someone who bought a 3/4. 1/2 does. Cover a 1.5 hole it just won't have a as good as a seal. It will seal . But ask someone who bought a 3/4 one see if it has a 1.5 o.d. first if it's bigger than go with the 1/2 it will work

Yes.1 1/4" with 1/16" wall is what I use. Provides some nice flex which adds power.Cut off a piece of 1 1/2" pvc pipe. Fit the collar over that. Secure with the colored electrical tape of your choice.Been using Scotty locks and collars for years. Great product. No wear and little friction.

Oh, my mistake it should be able to weld up to 6/16" diameter steel rod because you are welding around a rod from both sides. So it should do just fine with 1/4" inch rod.

No it won't work with 1/16". I recommend purchasing the cable that is sold with the system.

If it don't move probly not working actually I was not to happy with this gauge , I purchased a different one witch I like a lot better, this one seamed so big and stiff ! Good Luck

I have not tried 1.5" but I think as long as you adjust the hammer pressure down it will work just fine. Only way to find out is try. Good luck

The 5/16 and 1/8" cable both work with these ends. The 5/16 requires a much cleaned cut of the cable to allow a easier insertion into the ends. The clamping system does a great job to either size and the 1/8 " will give you less stress in assembly. Most insertion problems came after threading the cable through holes in support posts. I used 6x6 and 8x8 cedar post with a 1/4 inch hole through them Required inserting the drill bit from both directions of each hoe made in support posts. Just take your time and enjoy the outcome.

no it won't. I tried 1/8" and whoever said it would work should be shot. I ended up buying the 5/32" wire. Hope this helps.

Yes , 16 gauge is fine. The spec's state it is good for 14 guage (which is larger wire) as well.

I was reading on the Pactool and it says it's for 5/16 cement siding. It's also adjustable from 4'' to 8'' of reveal in 1/4'' increments. I've personally used this tool on hardi plank and it works great. But hardi plank is 5/16 x 8'' and the tool is pretty snug. I don't think the tool will work on any product greater than 8''. With all that being said I really don't know!

This model is for thinner siding. I think they have a different part number for the thicker siding.

I have only used it with 8.25 siding but I would think it should. I would email pac tool to confirm before you buy it.

If you have 1/4" end (which you should) then yes. 1/4" is universal to these applications

I have 4 " reveal siding and it works perfect the spacing will not work on 5" siding but the site that sells this one had some for 5" reveal as well
