Does this work on 12 inch siding

I found it to work on shingle as well as lap. Great for someone working alone. You may check to see if they make a different model for larger siding, but this worked fantastic four me.

No, neither the SA902 nor SA903 work on 12" siding. There is a model SA902.12 that is made specifically for use on the 12". It is basically the model SA902 with a pair of long aluminum extensions included in the package. Since this model is made of aluminum it isn't recommended for use on the pre-finished siding as the aluminum tends to leave marks.

It's not the width of the siding but the width of the reveal. Maximum reveal is 8 inches.

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.

My siding was 8.25 wide, it worked very well for this installation, when I was reasearching this product I read that it does the 12" siding, there are several settting on the Geiko.

Both models (the plastic and the aluminum style) of the Gecko siding gauge Amazon sells adjust to a maximum 8 inch reveal (the part that you see exposed after its nailed up). For 12 inch siding the reveal is about 10 3/4 inches so these wouldn't work. Pac tool says in the literature that came with these that they can make them any size you want, just contact them. Of course the custom built ones couldn't be bought at Amazon prices but these gauges work so well and make siding installation go so fast that they might be worth the investment. Otherwise you can use the type gauge that hangs from the top of the previously nailed course and gauge the overlap instead of the reveal. These gauges (such as the Malco FCG2 which is also sold on Amazon) work with any reveal width. I've used both styles and these aren't as accurate in my opinion since the top edge of hardi-plank tends to be rough, and they are a little harder to use, but still make putting up planks a 1-man job suitable for a weekend warrior. These "hanging type" gauges are also better for pre-painted siding because I found it easier to accidentally mar the painted surface with the Gecko gauge.

I'm not sure, but I'm using for 7.25 inch and theyre worth every penny. Description days 5,6,7,8 maybe they have another model?

According to the specs, yes. I have it on a 12" Dewalt, non-sliding, and it works great.

YES. I used it on vinyl siding this spring and it seems to be working fine.

Sorry, haven't tried it yet. So far only using it for Hardie Siding and it works great.

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

As long as the siding was relatively flat and there was not framing behind that you also needed to cut through. Depth of cut is less than a standard 2X4. Also you might need to purchase a metal blade so that your cut out would be less jagged. Mine came with two blades. A diamond blade for tile work and a multi-purpose blade.

I have vinyl siding and it was bad, it did a great job. Hope it works for you.

Go to the PacTool web site and it will tell you the maximum thickness. You do not want to force larger siding in it as damage and scraping will occur. It will also slow your job down if you have to pry and pull the Grecko off.

Yes and you will probably want to. I was not that hard on mine and it didn't last two days of use pressure washing my siding. You want either of these, both available on Amazon : Anderson Metals Brass Garden Hose Fitting, Swivel, 3/4" Female Hose ID x 3/4" Female Pipe or Gilmour 7FPS7FH Double Female Swivel Brass Connector, 3/4-Inch by 3/4-Inch

This nailer will not use siding nails. However, some contactors use a roofing nailer and roofing nails to nail hardie siding, nailing every 12". I would call James Hardie Co. and ask them if they approve this application.

I have vinyl siding, but would think aluminum would work the same. You just need enough flexibility in the siding to get the hook underneath the bottom lip of the siding.

I personally have no tused it on siding, but I don't believe it should be a problem. Try it on a small area out plain sight for a test.

I used this nailer to install Hardiplank siding. Its too powrful for vinyl siding. Personally, I wouldn't install vinyl siding on a storage building, much less a house.

Yes. But 12" is as wide as it cuts. Length is no problem. It's a great little cutter.

Absolutely! The nail heads are a bit small, but if you dial the regulated pressure on your compressor down to 50 psi or so, AND you drive the nails at an angle, they will consistently lay into the vinyl grooves with room for wiggle. (the head fits perfectly for nail placement) This speeds up putting up siding like nobody's business!

Yes...but there is one for your roof..but works great on siding not sure why it wouldn't work as well on your roof but there must be a reason since they have a different one...
