Questions & Answers

This tool punches 1/4" holes, do 1/4" emitters fit in them?

Dear Norm, I wanted to say hello. Bill 7669 is the name of the bill. A hole punch is not what it is. In the feeder tube, the opening can only be found on one side. I see it more as a slit that you can wiggle your emitters through. I'm not sure how I'll get through this. In the event that you make a mistake, just plug it with a blank emitter. There is nothing I can explain about this. In spite of that, it is the most convenient way to cut Hope everything turns out well for you

Do you have any experience using this punch on 3/4 inch ?

The answer is yes. You can read more about it on The Drip Store's website. In the most accurate and quickest way, the professional gun punch from DIG punches uniform holes in drip irrigation tubes of any size and allows the insertion of barbed fittings, micro sprinklers & drip emitters. It has a grip on the handle that is easy to hold and features interchangeable heat-resistant handles Stainless steel pins are supplied with the punch in sizes 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm. (The pins are not included with the punch in sizes 2 mm and 4 mm). Unlike other punches, the hole punched using this one is always in the center of the drip tubing, so there is no risk of cutting through to the other side. This tips is safe for use, since their heat-treated stainless steel tips retract fully when they're not being used. The blue sleeve under the pin on the 3/4" drip tubes can easily be removed for removal. Slide it out and discard. This UV-cured product is constructed from UV-curable materials Plastic that is resistant to impact.

How do you suggest I attach this to the ?

That's not the case, I think. I have no problem fitting 1/4" barbs into my clamp.

I am amazed at the difference in the time and energy spent on putting my irrigation system in place
5/5

Because the thinner gauge poly pipe was so susceptible to damage, I bought a ‘heavier duty’ half inch poly pipe years ago. My only problem was that it took so much muscle power to pierce it that I had far fewer attachment points than I required for quarter inch tubing. Due to this, I tolerated a rather inadequate irrigation The punch was shown to me by a neighbor, who motivated me to buy it so that I could challenge of punching a hole in a consistent manner is no longer onerous. My operating system is now more of a pleasure rather than a dreaded chore, as I fix parts of it at my leisure.

These punches work much better than those I have used before
4/5

The push punches in straight lines work much better than the straight line push. Initially, I used an orange basic hose barb, but the plastic barb broke, so I went back to the orange barb. I later developed a better one with a hose guide, but the plastic barb broke I went back to the orange barb for a while. There's a slight delay before the hole bunch has a chance to get onto the hose, but it makes a good hole virtually without risk. I like it the best of all the whole punches I have used after I got the hang of it.

I love how well it works! The problem persists even after the blue sleeve is removed
5/5

It is best to be cautious when buying. ***Edit *** My irrigation skills are somewhat limited. 20/5/21* I'm new to irrigation. The main line poly was purchased to run around the house in hopes that it would work for that purpose. This is not the case. When used with thinner wall poly lines, it works as intended. This is easy. Combined with rain bird fittings, there were no leaks.
I apologise to the company for my error.

I thank you so much for your help
5/5

You'll have a much easier time with this! It used to be such a chore to make drip lines before but now it's so easy. Is REALLY surprising how well it works. After so many holes have been punched out of your irrigation hose, make sure you empty the rubber out before making new holes. After so many holes, the hole punch will become blocked.

The drip line is a vital part of drip line repair
3/5

This tool is incredibly useful for repairing drip lines, however it only worked for about 1000 holes and then it would not return to position. The tool did not seem impervious to soil. However, I managed to clean it off and finish up.

It is great that drip irrigation has been improved! A well-designed punch allows you to punch holes in tubing easily, and does not crush it as you use it

There is no way to use it
3/5

A 1/4" line’s edges will not be pounded. They will only be dented. We returned it to the vendor. A man's hands fit inside it, as it is made for someone with larger hands. It is very wide when it opens, and I needed two hands to close it. It is also very stiff, so I needed two hands to close it.
