I discovered this last year when the siding started to fall either just from gravity or the wind. I was TIRED and frustrated to keep having to put the siding back into place only to discover that it fell down again the next day. I researched how to DIY fix this as getting someone to your house to fix something small like this is difficult to ridiculously expensive. I searched around and found 'how to' videos describing and showing this tool. I used it as soon as I got it... and it WORKED PERFECTLY. It fixed my siding issues, since I used this punch tool the siding has stayed in place and has not fallen down again. Easy enough, I wish I looked into it sooner as I've had some frustrated days annoyed at the guys who did my siding the cheap/quick way (and it wasn't cheap to install). Just pay attention to which side you punch down and make the snapping tabs. I made the tabs about every 6-7 inches and at the ends. Good luck! If you're seeing this tool because you've been recommended to get one... do it. It worked and it's apparently what "good" installers use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the money *by J***A on April 6, 2025* Worked great, glad I went with this tool over some more expense ones. Had to repair a piece of siding above the rear sliding door that has been falling for years. placed a few tabs every 8-12" staying away from the last inches that would overlap another piece of siding and snap locked right into place. Used this on the top piece of siding and had the J channel already in place to use to lock it in.I only had to repair one 12' piece of siding so I can't comment on long term use of the tool but in my need it was perfect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great! *by W***S on May 5, 2025* Works great! ## Frequently Bought Together - Malco SL5 9 in.
