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

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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