Malco SL5 9 in. Snap Lock Punch Silver metallic

Don’t start a vinyl siding job without this tool. This tool is must have when you cant nail the last piece of siding. Use with under sill trim to finish the top of a wall or a roof peck.

Simple tool that worked as it should. I used this when replacing siding that had blown off in a storm, probably because the pro installer never put locking tabs in when the siding was originally installed. One hint for users; if the temperature is low (near freezing) the siding will be brittle and youll end up with the tabs snapping off leaving an oblong hole. Warm up the vinyl a bit and the tool works fine.

Cheap quality but get the job done. They should have a lock on them or something to help keep closed as they are always sprung wide open.

These are exactly what I expected. They work as they should. The quality made value is good. I think they are over priced but if you need them price don’t matter.

use alot

works great anywhere you have to remove the nail fin from the siding. so when you get to the top of the wall, or under a large window you simply install finish trim (other wise know as snaplock trim) inside of your J channel. then cut your siding long enough to slide up into the finish trim. after that go back and puch the top of the cut siding every 4 to 6 inches. this tool puts a directional notch into the siding allowing it to lock into the snap lock trim. no need for exposed fasteners to secure the top wall, or anywhere you have to cut the top off of the siding.

I had siding put up on my home. The installers did a fair job of installation generally, but some of the top pieces of siding slipped down. I did some research and found out about this tool and what it does. I should not have to, but I have had to repair pieces with this tool to make them stay up. It did what it (and my installers) were suppose to do.

Broke down and finally got one of these for small pieces of siding that were popping out. Works great with finish strip. Better price the big local place.

If you are a do-it-your-selfer, this tool will get the job done. There is no need to buy the more expensive version. All you are doing is punching holes in vinyl, and thats what it does. I suppose the only improvement to this tool would be somthing to hold it together for storage (so that it not always in an open position). But a rubber band works fine for that too.

Made our job so much easier and it did exactly as it said.
