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

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.

great hole punch for drip irrigation system, would buy again.

Dont buy this... you couldnt GIVE me one. Rainbird has one that is somewhat better.

Easy to use, works perfectly

This only works for those hard thicker plastic type lines. Dont do what I did and get it thinking you could use it on the kits you see here on Amazon with all the goodies included. I love the kit I got, dont get me wrong, but I didnt realize the main line isnt that hard plastic type. Its a softer one, and you can not get this punch through it. It will stretch and stretch and stretch. Yep, I tried it to that degree. Not a single hole. It didnt hold the 1/4 line like its suppose to, either. So you can install the ends and such? Nope. I might be an idiot though, so .....

The handle makes punching holes easier but its not quite useful when it comes to inserting the line as the tool does not grip the very well.

Works well. Very sharp, so no struggling to get holes in tubing.

The first time I used it. It went all the way thru the tubing and put a small hole on the opposite side.. I went back to the old one I had after that..

I suggest you heat the tubes first. I carefully used a lighter. Cant understand why someone cant make a better mousetrap for this type of tool.

I love this tool! Soooo much better than the one came with the irrigation kit. Easy to use, punctures easily through the 1/2 pipe.
