Customer Review
Great for fixing fallen vertical blinds/ can't wait to use it on a siding project!
I have two little kids one is 3 and the other is 20 months old, they like to play with the vertical blinds in our kitchen for the glass sliding door. The oldest one is the worst at pulling them down and breaking the slot. I've fixed them time and time again using a siding snap lock punch and then breaking the rest off to create a slot, but the break doesn't last very long. I didn't even know there was a tool like this until I started searching for something else. I just cut off the bad ends of the blinds with a miter saw and then used this punch and it worked great. Now the real test is how long the slots last, the kids haven't broken any yet where as they were breaking at least one a week before and it's been a month since I fixed it.

Works for the intended purpose
This is a simple tool, and does nothing more than punch an elongated nail slot in pieces of vinyl siding. I found it most useful for expanding existing slots when the slot spacing didn't align with the wall studs. I never tried to punch a slot in anything but vinyl, but I don't think that it would work very well on metal, regardless of how light the gauge. I saved about $8.00 by buying this from Amazon as opposed to getting it from my local building supply company.

Replacement purchase
I bought this because I could not find my Malco Nail Hole Slot Punch and needed it. My old one has less play in the assembly than the new one. The new one pops the material off the punch better than the old one, but leaves the chad hanging. I found my old one before the new one arrived, and based on the material I am punching I use the old one for thick materials and the new for thinner material.
