  • Patent number: 11519708
    Abstract: A vinyl siding alignment tool for verifying the alignment of vinyl siding panels around the exterior of a building. The tool is configured to verify the alignment of the panels around a corner post regardless of whether it is an acute or obtuse angle. The tool is fitted with a leveling means for providing immediate feedback to the installer. The tool further comprises a handle and a support means for providing a balanced weight about the center of gravity, making the tool easy to use with very little effort. The tool is versatile in that it allows the user to verify alignment about an interior angle using two distinct methods.
