NACETURE Vinyl Siding Removal Tool - 1 Pack for Siding Removal, Installation and Repair - Extra Long Non-Slip Grip Handle (Black) (Black Aluminum 1 Pack)

Worked as advertised. It worked better after the sun had warmed the siding.

This is quite a sturdy and well-made tool and was cheaper than running out to my local big box store, especially when I consider the price of gas and my travel time. I found the tool super helpful for attaching two pieces of siding together. When you're installing a whole wall from the ground up that's not a problem, but when you're replacing a piece in the middle you need something to deform cleat on the upper piece so it engages on to the lower piece. This tool did that masterfully. What this tool didn't do for me was help me easily remove a piece from the center of the wall. I just couldn't force it between the two pieces like I could see on YouTube. With my siding being 25 years old I wasn't going to force it super hard either--didn't need anything cracking on me. If you move over to edge of a piece of siding (which might be really far from the place you really need to unzip) the tool does seem to work better because you can get it up under the notches in the cleats. However, that isn't what I saw people doing on YouTube. So was I doing it wrong? Was YouTube overly simplistic? Is the tool not the best for the job? I don't really know. However, I did get it to work and it was invaluable for zipping the pieces back together. I needed it. Glad I bought it.

Works great and nice edition to the tool box for the handyman or installer.

This is a useful tool if you ever have to install, remove or repair vinyl siding. It makes it easy to unclip or re-clip lengths of vinyl siding. It saves a lot of frustration over trying to use a flat screwdriver or putty knife to do the job. I would say this item spends 95% of its time sitting in the tool bag, but I am glad it is around on those times when the wind has pulled a section of vinyl siding loose.

Works as intended for a cheap price.
