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 did about 100 of the 1/4 inch connections. Never used the hole puncher. I was inserting the coupler (using another tool) straight into the 1/2 inch tube. There is absolutely no need to punch a hole first. Therefore the hole puncher was never used. The other curved tool, the one with a metal stud at one end was used, almost for all 1/4 inch connections. I used it to insert and rotate inside the 1/4 tube just to flare it a little bit and that made insertions into the 1/4 inch tube really easy, even for this old gardener. No need for heat gun or hot water like some of the suggestions I had read. The tube needs to be flared. You can do that with this tool. You can also do it with a phillips screw driver!

Didnt fit any pipe I have regardless of the adapter used. Went in the trash the same day I received it.

I have had so many products for doing this chore and this one makes it very easy. Excellent!

Last year I used a hand drill with 3/16 drill bit to drill holes in 1/2 hose to connect to 1/4 hose. I thought a punch hole tool was useless. I was wrong. With these two tools, the time to set up an irrigation system is much faster than before. The punch tool always does the job with one punch. It never fails. The other tool for insertion is a little difficult to use. It takes some time and strength to put1/4 hose into its groove. But I still use it as it is harder to use bare hand to do the same job.

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.

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.

As Ive aged I find my hand have become weaker and changing out or adding micro-irrigation has become difficult for me. This looked like a handy tool that would make it easier; however that hasnt proven to be the case. It is almost impossible to get the 1/4 tubing to stay in place on the tool in order to add another dripper to the 1 tubing. Guess Ill keep looking for something that 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.

This is a nice set but honestly a simple hole punch is all you need. I returned because a hole punch for 1/2 tubing came with my kit for irrigation and I had no use for the assistance inserting 1/4 tubing into barbed fittings since soaking in hot water first made it easy. Looks like a great system if you want top of the line help if you are setting up an irrigation system and needing assistance with tube fitting insertion.
