Customer Reviews

SIDING ATTACHMENT USEFUL
THIS LITTLE ACCESSORY IS NECESSARY TO INSTALL VINYL WITH THE PORTER CABLE MS200. WITHOUT IT YOU WILL BLOW RIGHT THROUGH THE NAILING FLANGE. IT HELPS TO KEEP PROPER DEPTH SO THE SIDING CAN EXPAND AND CONTRACT.I AM ORDERING A SECOND ONE BECAUSE I LOST THE FIRST ONE. I LIKE IT VERY MUCH ALTHOUGH I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE MADE LONGER PROTRUSIONS ON IT FOR ALIGNMENT. WHEN FIRST ATTACHING IT IT CAN BE A LITTLE TRICKY. IF IT MOVES AROUND, IT'S NOT ON RIGHT. I MADE A MAKESHIFT ONE FROM PLYWOOD AND TAPED IT ON BUT IT DOESN'T WORK NEARLY AS WELL. P.S. SIDING PROPERLY INSTALLED WITH A STAPLER IS BETTER THAN NAILS. IT HAS A HIGHER WIND RESISTANCE. SIMPLY CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER.

I tried it and I liked it.
I saw the review of this attachment and actually bought the gun to go with it. I'm building a house and this makes putting on the siding so easy. I'm glad I went with staples rather than nails. (They are also easier to remove when you mess up! Just use a screwdriver).

Vinyl siding can be stapled
Contrary to one reviewer, most siding manufacturers allow for stapling of vinyl siding if done according to their specs. This attachment is designed to meet those specs by holding the staple out so as to allow for movement of the siding due to expansion and contraction.
