1. Circular saw
The Circular Saw is used to cut Vinyl Siding. When cutting flip the saw blade on your Circular Saw where the blade tips are reversed. This actually makes a smoother cut. This does not hurt the Circular saw at all. Or purchase a vinyl cutting circular saw blade.
2. Snips/Cutters
The Snips are needed to make smaller vinyl siding cuts that the Circular Saw can not make.
3. Hammer
Of course you will need a hammer. You can use a stapler if that is what you have. The Hammer is used to fasten the Vinyl Siding to the wall with tacks or nails.
4. Tape Measure
You will need a Tape Measure to measure your Vinyl Siding for cutting.
5. Square
It is used to mark a straight line for your cuts. The most efficient Square to use is what is called a Pocket Square.
