What happens here
Before beginning, visually inspect the house siding for any nails or fasteners that are no longer flush with the surface. These might be protruding slightly, indicating that they are loose or were not fully driven in during installation. The presence of chipped paint around a nail head often suggests it is standing proud and needs to be recessed. The individual in the video is wearing work gloves and is already in the process of identifying such areas, holding the spring tool in his hand.
Goal: Locate nails or fasteners requiring recessing within the siding.
