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)

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.

I like the easy to use and the feel in my hand. I don’t like it isn’t a cutter.

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.

This hole punch could not have been easier to use. I never used the 2nd tool but its nice to have it on hand if necessary. Overall, this was a valuable purchase at great price.

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.

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.

Don’t wast your money. The punch did not work AT ALL. The other piece, used to install drippers, worked well for about 10 drippers, then deformed. It is also useless now.

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 really like how this thing works
