Vinyl Fence Hand Notcher – 1/2″ and 3/4″
The VFN1 & VFN2 Vinyl Fence Notching Tool create 1/2 and 3/4 inch (13 and 19 mm) wide and 7/8 inch (22 mm) deep louver-shaped tabs in the end sections of vinyl fence pickets or rails. The resulting raised tabs facilitate a durable lock that prevents the picket or rail from pulling out of the joint opening in a rail or fence post during high winds or abrupt blows. Notcher performance is clean and precise in temperatures from 40 degrees F (-4.4 degrees C) to 120 degrees F (48.9 degrees C). Hardened all-steel construction with rust-resistant nickel plate and black oxide finishes ensures long service life.
The Malco VFN1 and VFN2 Vinyl Fence Notchers also feature ergonomic RedLine Handle technology. An Engineered handle opening compliments the natural power stroke of any user’s hand and maximizes the powerful 7:1 mechanical advantage of compound-leverage head to handle linkage. Comfortable handle grip contours, a non-slip grip insert, spring handle actuation and a thumb-operated handle latch ensure a natural fit and feel for comfortable one hand operation anywhere on the job.
