The Fein Saw

The Fein saw is an excellent tool to be used when removing stubborn aluminum siding. You know, the siding that has been painted 40 to 50 times, fusing the individual pieces into one. This type of siding cannot be removed without creating a giant wave - and once you have re-attached it, it will look terrible.

The Fein saw is a vibrating saw that is also used to cut casts off of human extremities. It cuts the siding off without tearing the material so that you can adequately dense-pack the walls of the home with insulation.

The first step is to cut the siding underneath the lead lip at a level that is below the level of your eye (so that you will not notice the cut). Once you are ready to re-install the siding you can simply nail the siding back into place with finish nails and run a bead of caulk along the seam to seal it off.

Quick topic, but a great tool.
