Title: Four stars because of the price
Review: I purchased these to finish up a hardiplank siding job. For the bulk of the job I used a borrowed PacTool SA902 siding gauge (which is definitely a five-star tool). Unfortunately I had to return them to my friend so he could finish up the siding at his house. The Malco gauge only costs about $20 vs. $80 for the PacTool. It works as advertised, but it is not as precise or heavy duty as the PacTool. The PacTool does scratch up your siding, so you would have to go with their special plastic version if you have pre-painted siding. Overall, I would recommend the Malco for smaller jobs, but the cost differential with the PacTool would be immaterial for a large siding job.
