2-in-One Drip Irrigation Tubing Hole Punch Fitting Insertion Tools Drip Tube Hole Punch for Easier 1/4 Inch Fitting & Emitter Insertion (Pro Punch Tool Sets)

I was excited because punching the holes was now going to be easy! I thought! I was going to test it on a scrap of drip tubing, punched a hole, then punched a second hole AND THE HANDLE BROKE. Literally the second time it was used, it broke.

I really like how this thing works

Tried to make a hole in the pipe with the plier looking device,,,would not make the hole. I bought a different device from home depot and it worked perfectly.

The punch works as advertised on 1/2 tubing. The insertion tool only works on straight barbed plugs and cant be used for anything else such as a barbed tee. I wish there were a recess for any of the possible 1/4 fittings. No matter, with severe wrist problems, I had to figure out a way to connect 1/4 tubing onto any connector. Tubing is stiff, so the trick is heat just the very end of the tubing with a hairdryer on hot for just a few seconds and it slips right on. If you heat more than 1/4 at the end tubing it will buckle and permanently deform. Wetting the barbed connector lubes the process too.

Really great!

Clamping punch is really slick. Has a removable insert to accommodate variable distribution hose diameters. Has compartment in handle for small connectors. Push punch works well. Has cut out in handle for pushing drip hose and fitting into distribution hose.

The hole punch works well. It is a little hard to be perfectly accurate with it though unless Im doing something wrong. It is hard to see where the hole will end up. If I put a mark on the tube, it gets covered up by the plastic body of the hole punch.

Works great
