Exceeds all expectations - essential tool for hanging Hardie

This tool has allowed me to dress up my entire garage without help. It is well designed and built. I found the most effective way to use it was to hang a coat hanger about 3 feet from each end of the item to be hung. Place the piece on two hangers and then nail one end with a nail. Remove this hanger by sliding it up and away from the nail. Go to the other end and remove the shackle while holding the end with one hand. Nail gun, drive a nail on this end, then across the board, one nail per post 16 inches apart. The only mistake you can make is to "catch" the hangers by nailing the board while they're still there. Just do not. Worth the money, don't even try to do something like that. These are the best.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Expensive
