Claim 12:
13. A method of installing a siding component on a building, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a working end on a nail driving tool, the working end comprising:
a body having a front end, a rear end opposite the front end, an outer perimeter between the front end and the rear end, and a nail aperture between the front end and the rear end that is aligned with the nail driving tool, the rear end comprising a connection that secures the body to the nail driving tool, the nail aperture defining an axis along which a nail driven by the nail driving tool travels;
a first guide formed by a recess in the front end; and
a first protrusion and a second protrusion extending outward from the front end on opposite sides of the nail aperture, the first protrusion, the second protrusion, and the axis being intersected by a line that is perpendicular to the axis;

using the first guide to align the nail aperture with a nailing strip of a siding component;
inserting the first protrusion and the second protrusion into a nail-receiving slot of the nailing strip such that the axis of the nail aperture is aligned with the nail-receiving slot of the nailing strip; and
using the nail driving tool, securing the siding to the building by driving a nail through the nail aperture and into the nail-receiving slot.
