Review on πŸ’ͺ Maximize Efficiency with the Malco FCMS 5 Inch Exposure Overlap by Eric Garron

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Makes parking so much easier

This product is so simple there's nothing to say but buy it! This greatly simplifies and speeds up the installation of siding. With a couple of these overlap sensors, I was able to install an entire wall covering myself, whereas if I didn't have it I would have had to hire someone to help me. If you don't have any obstacles to overcome (crane latticework, electrical hook-up, multiple windows, etc.), you'll be amazed at how quickly you can install board siding with this jig set. It takes a few boards to figure out how best to use the overlap sensor, so go slow at first, but once you get the hang of it, start racing. One piece of advice I've learned from experience: I highly recommend buying two or more of these if you plan on doing a lot of siding yourself. I only bought two because I thought it would be nice to have a spare in case I lose or damage one, but I'm glad I did because I ended up using both at the same time. That makes life a lot easier.

Pros
  • Jig doubles as an extra pair of arms to support one end of the board
Cons
  • New Competitors Arrive
