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

As a whole punch, its awesome: sharp point and good size and shape to maintain a grip while pushing the tool into 1/2 inch or larger supply pipe. But its useless for inserting emitters-- you can lay the quarter-inch tubing into the channel but it will just slip down when you try to push an emitter into it. To be fair, I dont see a tool design that would work for this purpose. The only strategy that has worked for me is dipping the end of the tubing into hot water; the emitter slips on effortlessly. I gave it four stars because its a well-made tool at a reasonable price; it fails only at what is likely an impossible task for any tool.

Who knew gardeners had special tools for adding lines to the drip system. This makes it so easy. I am so excited to find this. Just added some new lines and the holes were the right size and it was easy to get the pieces inserted. How cool is this!

It works god and is easy to use. Fast shipping and here when I needed it

A simple answer to my problems putting irrigation tubes and parts together. Im not as nimble as others working with this technology. This tool helped me become nimble.

This tool is very VERY sharp and goes right through the plastic. The other end makes it easy to put in your attachment

This tool was key to connecting the main line to the offshoots in my new water irrigation system. The pointy end easily poked the holes needed in the thick main line. Once the hole is made, inserting the smaller lines into the holes is really quite difficult so I tried using the opposite end of this tool (watch the videos on the product page to get an idea of what I mean). It’s a bit clumsy at first (as you have to hold it at just the right angle) but I definitely did end up using it for that second step too. Some cheaper tools just poke the hole, but I’m glad I sprung for this one since it helped me with the insertion step as well. Love my irrigation system and glad this is in my toolbox.

For those of us older gardeners with arthritic hands, this helps to install 1/4” hose with barbed fittings into 1/2” drip hose.

Comfortable to hold, and is very sharp. Easy to punch holes.

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.
