Description of πŸ”¨ Malco SL5 Punch Tool for Vinyl and Aluminum Surfaces

Snap locks plastic skirting and siding to finish trim by creating a tab in the cut edge of the siding panel. Creates secure locking tabs in vinyl siding. Punch raises a high projection to compensate for natural relaxation of vinyl siding. Also works on aluminum siding but not recommended for use on steel. Spring return handles with red vinyl grips. Made in the USA.

Good tool at a great price!

Was broken and finally got one of these due to small bits of fairing popping out. Works great with the finish line. Best price in a great local place.

  • Best
Cons
  • Some bugs

Works as intended: Punch

Works great on house vinyl siding I bought last spring, had to fix my siding because the installer wasn't using this tool. Worked great for my use and allowed for a secure install.

Pros
  • Trial for one year
Cons
  • Some cons

Great price for a quality product

This product has been searched the web to find the best price. Found it cheaper elsewhere but when shipping/handling was added the cost skyrocketed. Worked great right out of the box.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Weight

Good tool.: Punch

Although I didn't use it as much as I thought the tool worked as intended and was easy to use. I probably wouldn't buy it again simply because I don't really need it and I'm already halfway through my project.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Vinyl Snap Hole Punch Hole Punch

Vinyl siding was falling off my house. The person who installed my siding didn't use this type of tool. Someone told me about this product and it works like a charm who would have thought. I saved money by trying to use another siding company.

Pros
  • Best in the Niche
Cons
  • Some Problems

Works perfectly! in hand tools

My house is sheathed with siding. The installers generally did a "fair" job with the installation, but some of the top pieces of the side panel fell off. I did a little research and found out about this tool and its features. I didn't have to do this, but I did have to fix parts with this tool to keep them upright. It did what it was supposed to (and my installers).

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Good basic tool at a reasonable price

This tool works just like any other pothole I have used. This is a fairly simple tool, so there is no point in spending a lot of money on it. As with any snap pliers, this helps if the fairing is warm or has been in the sun. This will reduce the number of times the "flap" will break, rather than just bending outward as the material is less brittle.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Modern

great finishing tool.

works great anywhere you need to remove a nail from a siding. So when you arrive at the top of a wall or under a large window, simply install a finishing strip (also known as a snap strip) inside the J-Channel. Then cut the fairing long enough to fit inside the fairing. After that, go back and iron the top of the trimmed trim every 4-6 inches. This tool makes a directional notch in the panel that allows it to snap into the snap-on panel. No exposed fasteners are required to attach the top wall…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
