Raindrip R630CT Hole Punch with Plugs

Works fine and is sharp enough.

This punch works well and is easy and comfortable to manipulate.

The hole punch works great, the plugs do not work. Plan on buying a whole new hose if you put holes were you dont want them.

It makes a decent hole once it finally pokes through but it takes a lot of effort.There are a better options out there that will work better than this. I lost my original one that was nothing more than a piece of plastic with a pointy end and it worked much better this this one.

I found the punch difficult to work with. A tremendous force was necessary to complete the hole. One or two wouldnt be bad, but punching 80 was beyond my ability. I wound up using a drill ( manual manipulation) for the first hole, then used the punch to widen it. My hands hurt for a day afterward.. Eri

This punch is kind of dull compared to a similar punch made by Dig, but it does the job as long as you dont have to put in a lot of emitters in a day (for that Id suggest using a power driver with a suitable drill bit). However, the Dig punch doesnt come with the handy plug insert on the back of the tool, so I still prefer to use this one despite its somewhat inferior punching ability.

This product is now one big fraud. I have used this product for years and it was wonderful. Note the photo. It shows a stainless steel point and it always came with a small hole in the handle which was perfect for inserting plugs, or dripper attachments. Well, the three I just ordered showed up on my porch today. All have a plastic point and a huge hole in the handle which is worthless. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. It went from a 5 star to a no star.

Does the trick, I have only pinched 15 holes, so I dont know how well it keeps up when using it frequently

typical Rain Bird product, works just like advertised, as usual

Order this one but was sent to new version. Did try it out it does work but think the longevity will not be a good as the whole thing is plastic.
