Anywhere you have to remove a nail fin from siding, this tool works great. Basically, when you reach the top of the wall or the underside of a large window, you just need to install finish trim (also called snaplock trim) inside your J channels. If your siding is too short to slide into your trim, it can be cut the correct length. Once you've done that, go back and poke every 4 or 6 inches every time you cut siding. In order to lock into the snap lock trim, this tool cuts a directional notch into the siding. There is no need to attach fasteners to the top wall, or to any other surfaces that have to be cut.
During the last three years, parts of the siding have come loose on my It was not this type of tool that was used when I had my siding installed.

I searched the internet for the best price on this product, and I found it cheaper elsewhere, but I had to pay shipping and handling on top of that. Straight out of the box, the software worked well.
It must have been a difficult job for the installers to install the siding properly, because some top pieces were slipping. As a result of some research, I discovered this tool and its purpose. It shouldn't be necessary for me to do so, but I have been forced to fix pieces with this tool to keep them in place. I was happy with the work it (and my installers) accomplished.
I found the tool to be simple and effective. A pro installer never installed locking tabs when the siding was originally installed, so the siding blew off during a storm. I used this method to replace the siding that had blown off during a storm. Users should keep these tips in mind During low temperatures (near freezing), the siding will be brittle and the tabs may fall off, leaving you with an oval When used with vinyl that has been warmed up a bit, the tool works well.
This method worked very well for my small project, tabs locked into utility trim, aka undersill trim as they did as long as you measured well.
