While using the weed wacker I damaged my vinal siding (rock got slung
aganist it). Apparently it doesn't take much. The hole is about thumnail
size. What could use to patch this..? Is there a caulk type compound..?

I have several spare lengths of siding that the builder left or me. But
don't think it makes sense to replace a section for such a small area.
Thanks.

I've dinged my siding in the same way.

To repair small holes and such, I've cut a length of replacement siding
to cover the hole and then glued it. Yes, it's noticeable but less so
than the hole itself. By the way, I keep the width of the siding so it
matches what's there and then work it or trim it to match.

It is very easy to replace a piece of vynil siding. See here:

ce.htm

BTW you don't really need that tool, I used a cotter key extractor
many times. You can even 'unlock' a piece by pushing down at the
bottom. Takes 20 minutes tops to replace a 12' piece.
