Power Tool Advice


Lowe's is offering 15% off all power tools until Weds April 11.

I would love to own a power tool that reliably cuts/trims brittle old vinyl siding. If the same tool would allow me to trim a piece of siding (say, an angle cut for a gable) without climbing down from a ladder that would be even better.

Would a RotoZip handle old siding without cracking the material?

Re: Power Tool Advice


We use them a lot for cutting vinyl siding details. We even use some wood templates when it comes to cutting outlet or electrical boxes. Let the tool do the work though.
