Malco SL5 9 in. Snap Lock Punch Silver metallic

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.

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.

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.

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.

This lightweight snap lock punch works great on vinyl and light gauge metal. The tabs it creates do a good job of locking into finish/utility trim. The plastic grips are comfortable in the hand, and the punch provides good leverage for creating tabs in vinyl and metal coil material. Im very pleased with their performance.

Works great and keeps the siding locked in place.

Helped me get my dreaded siding job done a little easier, so for that I’m thankful.

Did a search on the internet for this product to find the best price. Found it cheaper elsewhere, but when the shipping/handling was added, made its cost soar. Worked great right out of the box.

Works as it should

Very easy to use. Notches looked perfect. Bought it for just one piece of siding installed improperly during remodeling by professionals! Punched every 6-8 inches and inserted the siding edge under the J Channel and I know that vinyl siding is going to stay put in this windy city!
