Special Tools

Nail Slot Punch

Punches elongated holes to allow nailing the cut edge

of a panel. Also used to enlarge an existing hole to allow

proper nailing.

Snap Lock Punch

Punches tabs in the cut edge of a panel used as a finishing

course at the top of a wall or underneath a window. The tabs

lock into undersill trim. For best results, we recommend using

an SL5 punch, which is designed specifically for vinyl

applications. You may also use a redesigned and improved

version of the SL5 punch. To be certain you’re using the right

model SL5, make sure it was manufactured after November

1987.

Zip Tool
