Universal Punch UP-3 Drip Irrigation Hole Punch Tool - Spiral Operation Tube Punch for Drippers, Connectors, Sprinkler Irrigation Tubes Pipes 16 to 32mm, Drip Irrigation Punch Tool 160030-P

Great invention, works so much better!

Easy to use, maybe slow to use but great when tired of punching holes in pipe

Best Tool putting 1/4” emitters. Wow, I am so amazed that this product hasn’t been widely sold and stocked. It saved my hands many times using it when putting on 1/4 inch emitters onto 1/4 inch drip lines. Simply amazing and worth the cost.

Value for your money

I used the cheap competitor product at first and it worked some but often didn't punch all the way through so I had to try to line it up to punch again and sometimes I made too big a hole and it leaks around the emitter. This punch works so much better. No struggling. 1st try perfect hole.

I bought one of these hand punches a number of years ago and unfortunately loaned it to a neighbor who lost it and paid for this new one. The one that arrived does not have the smooth action that the old one had, it tends to click - snap about 1/2 way into the handle squeeze. I examined the mechanism to see what was causing the unpleasant movement. There is a spring that fits inside a tube that drives the punch. The end of the spring is not cut cleanly, part of the end sticks up and is catching on the tunnel entrance during compression. it doesn't remain caught as the handle is squeezed but eventually snaps free. I am too lazy to disassemble the unit and cut off the part that sticks up and is catching.
