Does anyone know where you can buy a lap siding spacing tool?

I went to Home Depot and they were no help.
Deos anyone know where you can pick one up locally?

lap siding is the typical overlap siding you see on most houses. im assuming that the tool he is looking for is some type of jig so that he can easily get the same exposure on each plank. ive never actually seen anyone buy these, ive always just used a jig someone cut out of a scrap 2X4 or osb. you juse need so cut something that you lap onto the bottom peice and has an angle cut so it lays flat and then a notch for the next plank to go.

or just measure and mark 3 spots, cut a paint stirrer stick to the right length and use that, one less thing to hold up

if you are going to be hanging a lot of siding spending 10 minutes to make a jig is a worthwhile investment

i can't see this guy hanging a lot of siding
