> 3 dayAs 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.

> 3 dayWorks 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!

> 3 dayWe 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.

> 3 dayClamping 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.

> 3 dayThe hole punch works well. It is a little hard to be perfectly accurate with it though unless Im doing something wrong. It is hard to see where the hole will end up. If I put a mark on the tube, it gets covered up by the plastic body of the hole punch.

> 3 dayThe 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.

Greater than one weekThis 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.
