About this item
- ANGLE FINDER: This adjustable precision tool is designed to capture and precisely cut difficult-to-measure gable angles in fiber cement siding and paneling from 0 – 90° degrees for fast and easy use, with lightweight aluminum construction.
- CORNER MEASURING TOOL: This scribe measures the angle between the horizontal of the ceiling wall line and the diagonal angle of the roof joists, which helps to achieve a professionally finished single cut that eliminates unnecessary unsightly gaps.
- SAW GUIDE: Our two-in-one angle gauge is designed to accommodate various cutting tools but has a specifically constructed guide slot for use with PacTools handheld shears for a straight and exact cut that matches the contour of the gable.
- CONSTRUCTION TOOLS: Take your next job to the next level with this simple, time-saving tool. Place it into the gable, adjust the capture angle, tighten the fastener, and transfer to the workpiece. The result is an even and professional finish.
- PACTOOL: Trusted for decades, we are the leaders in specialized construction, renovation, and remodeling designs. Our cutting-edge product line inspires craftspeople and DIYers to work smarter, measure better, and repair more efficiently.

- Reviewed in Canada on August 28, 2021Verified PurchaseWorks better than thought it would, makes life way easier
- Reviewed in Canada on July 28, 2023Verified PurchaseI bought this for marking gables for siding and I went to set the angle and the knob spun off and now it won't tighten. Very disappointed after be excited to try it. For the cost of the tool you would hope it would be more durable.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 9, 2023Verified PurchaseScrews fell out and can't find them. Now I have to custom order new screws
- Reviewed in Canada on August 6, 2022Good for the “do it yourself” type. If you install siding regularly you’ve made it this far in life without it, and shouldn’t need

1.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy and not a tool that you can rely on
Verified PurchaseFlimsy and not a tool that you can rely on to do an accurate, professional job.
If you want to do a crappy job, use this tool.
Don't waste your money, like I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide!
Verified PurchaseI read the reviews about this item and wondered about it’s quality, but having to be accurate with cuts on a current project I gave it a try. Reviews said it was flimsy and you could lose screws easily, so I paid close attention to making sure the screws were tight. I love this scribe, it has a great design and is easy to use with perfect results. This item is probably not going to work for you if you find yourself frequently throwing your tools into the back of your truck at the end of the day, or if you give it to your lead man of a large crew. Treat it like a precision instrument, i.e. a laser level or transit and it’ll work just fine. The cutting guide works perfectly with the SS424 Snapper Shears.

5.0 out of 5 stars Over priced but useful.
Verified PurchaseI bought this on a whim for a siding project figuring I’d just return it if it was garbage but I’ve found it surprisingly useful for siding gables. It’s aluminum, lightweight, and the adjust screw can be flipped to the other side easily. One thing that others have said is that this little screw will unwind itself eventually - I think I went through 40 planks before it popped out. I was lucky enough to find the screw and avoid the twisty tie repair, but I recommend using some lock tight on this screw right when you get it out of the box! Happy siding everyone :)
MeOver priced but useful.

Update

Yes the gage still works great , however for a construction site professional use tool it kinda fragile. Mine is now not useable because one of the screws fell out and was lost on the site. For what this cost it should be made better. Now I have to find a screw that will work to fix it.
