Ahh, ok thanks for the tip. I do some stuff at my top corners but I like that extra part to hold the mitre tight

I found that the big cutters make it crack the little ones not so much. I actually tested that one day.

I’ve never tried that. I wonder if it has something to do with the smaller snips being more curved.

@sidingschool , Sir, I think it is because the small snips cut slower, so the material has a chance to "warm" up a little, by the way great video!

Damn, what are you using for cutters? Cutting like paper. Also did you precut channels into side pieces. Bottom piece?

Hi, I’m using Andy 3” siding snips amzn.to/3QD05Zv these are my go to snips for vinyl siding. And yep I cut out the trough of the side j-channel sometimes before I put it up. Sometimes I run them long and leave the top not nailed so I can cut it out when I finally get up there.
Who's the manufacturer of those shears

Hi Jesse, they are made by Malco and they are called “Andy snips”. I pinned a comment that has an Amazon affiliate link directly to the snips I use, but feel free to shop around.

@@sidingschool Just bought them, thank you for the link.
The technique is great but without the right snips, your results won't be nearly as clean.

Good sharp snips make for a cleaner looking job! I use the Andy Malco 12” snips, but I’ve seen people use the shorter Wiss snips and those work well too. I just prefer to have less weight in my bags so I stick to one set of snips. Most brands make lefty and righty snips which can be helpful in different situations.
Thank you Mr thank you
