The “score and snap” is one of the most underrated techniques for vinyl siding. I didn’t even know about this method until a few years into siding. I discovered it by accident. Though it may be common knowledge to some, I learned on my own and the siding manuals don’t tell you little things like this. This method will save a lot of cracked siding in the winter caused by snips, and it super quick and easy. Main takeaway from this post is BREAK OFF BLADES OFTEN. Blades are cheap. Break off the use

When I first started siding more than 20 years ago, I didn’t know about relief cuts while using snips. Regular snips will naturally lift the left side of the material you’re cutting. If the piece you’re cutting is bent or 3 dimensional, it makes it difficult for the left side to lift, not allowing for a clean cut. The solution is a relief cut so it doesn’t bend, crack or mar up the good side of the material. I hope that this makes sense. Vinyl corners are difficult to cut if you’ve never done it

Over the past 19 years of siding, I’ve tried many different brands of snips. I’ve always come back to Malco. I used one pair of their 12” snips over a decade before retiring it and it’s still got lots of life in it. I came across the ULV10 3 years ago on Amazon, they are amazing in the summer (mainly because they are SUPER lightweight) and they cut well in the summer time. You can see from this video how the cutting characteristics can change with the weather. Also what is surprising to me is th

It’s important to know the mechanics of snips. The snips will want to force the left side up, and the right side of the material downwards. If you know this and help guide these motions, then you’ll lessen the chance of cracked siding. It typically cracks because the weight of the material is forcing it against the natural motion the snips, causing tension and then it cracks. Relief cuts are also very helpful in cutting metal where you need the blade of the snips tight to the cut line. The side
