2-in-One Drip Irrigation Tubing Hole Punch & Fitting Insertion Tool - for Easier 1/4 Inch Fitting & Emitter Insertion

Im not sure that Rain Bird 1/2 inch drip tubing is really made to have emitters pushed directly in by a human. Making a hole first with this tool really helps.

I prefer the type that cuts out a plug of the tube instead of this spike.

I just used this tool for the first time a few minutes ago to make a hole in a main line tube (1/2 Toro Blue Stripe) and insert a small tube with a drip head. 1. The hole puncher worked very well. It so easily punched a hole that I advise to be careful you dont punch out the other side. A few careful back and forth movements with a bit of pressure, and you have your hole. Also, the tip is sharp. Dont poke a hole in your finger and save the protective cap the tool comes with. 2. The other end made it very easy to insert the drip line into the hole. I know some people said they had problems with this, but I just threaded the line in like it showed in the video, put a finger or thumb over the open edge of the channel the line goes in, and inserted the line into the hole at very slightly off 90 degrees with a bit of pressure and a few back and forth movements. The tool seems well made. I highly recommend this product for maintaining your drip system.

To save wear and tear on your hands.

Puncture end worked really well as expected. The cable connector feature for my application worked really well for my application. I was inserting a barbed fitting into a hose if you put your thumb and forefinger finger as shown in the pictures and press in at a slight angle towards the underside of the tool it pushed in the barb quite easily. There were reviews saying it didn’t work for them but in my application it worked very well.

In process of getting everything ready for installation of drip irrigation system, found my new system doesn’t use this tool. Gonna keep it as I like it and might find another use …. HANDY FARM DEVISE

This item was very easy to use, unlike most other similar devices.

The punch worked perfectly (thus the 3 stars), however the insertion tool did not work at all. When pushing the barb into tubing, the barb tended to slip off the holder as force was applied. I gave up and just used pliers to do the insertion, which was so much easier.
