Use the SL5 Snap Lock Punch to create tabs for locking vinyl plastic skirting and siding to finishing trim. Punch raises a high projection to compensate for natural relaxation of vinyl plastic. It also works well on aluminum siding but is not recommended for steel. NOTE: The SL5 should not be used when PERMATABS are required to snap into finished trim. For this application we recommend using the Malco SL1R or SL2R Snap Lock Punch. PERMATABS is a trademark of C & H Enterprises. Not Recommended for use below 32 degree F (0 degree C).
From the Manufacturer
Makes tabs in vinyl skirting or cut edge of siding to lock into utility trim. High tab projection compensates for natural relaxation of vinyl plastic. Spring return handles with vinyl cushioned grips offer comfort and ease of operation.

If I had it to do over, I'd purchase a Chinese knock-off instead, for half the price. These are stamped steel, exactly like the knock-offs. I'll keep them, but they are a disappointment.

The morons who installed my siding used beads of caulking in the upper siding areas to 'hold' the siding in place. 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.

This is a fraction of the price of what you would pay at a hardware store for the same tool. It works just as well. I lost mine and went to replace it, but was shocked at the price. When I checked Amazon, I figured for the cost, I would give it a try.I was not disappointed. It works just as well as the one I had replaced.

Tool feels hefty, has strong spring , would be nice to have a handle close lock , mine doesn’t say “made in USA”

Worked perfectly for punching lock tabs in the last piece of vinyl siding. I personally seek out Made in America products and don't fall for that fine print "mostly america" or "global materials" lol. This is American made and did not dissapoint! Have since purchased many more Malco tools and love them all just as much.

These are by far the best Snap Lock Punch on the market, the tag it makes really hangs in on the top.

They did the task I purchased them for with no problem, but I found for the price they seemed a little flimsy and not well built. But in saying that there are more expensive ones on the market and as I said they did the job fine. So depending on what task you have in mind you pays your money and makes your choice.
