This favorite simple but precise tool by Stanley was patented over a century ago. Simply extend the clapboard in place beyond the corner trim, wack the wood handle and a precise length is provided by the indentions. Expecially important on a old colonial house over 250 years old and constructed essentlially by "eye".
