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)

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.

Works like its suppose to. Easy to use and sped up the installing time for my drip system. It did take me a few tried to get a hang of using the tool to hold the tubes to put in the connectors. Save time and buy this!

I really like how this thing works

The clamping punch works well on .700 or 1/2 inch tubing but foes not cut through 1/4 inch. The hand held cutting is deformed and cuts 90 to 95 percent leaving a chad holding the cutout. UPdate the clamping punch will not punch the oval .700 tubing

Really great!

We used this on a nationally know name brand drip line. I am fairly young and healthy and this took A LOT of force to punch through the line. My father who is a life long farmer could not get it to punch through. He said I should throw away this piece of crap.

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.

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.

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.

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!
