Review: I wish I knew about this sooner-- worked great to fix my siding issue - 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.
Review: Excellent tool - 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 desertcart, 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.

*by D***T on 5 October 2016*

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.
