Raindrip R630CT Hole Punch with Plugs

Works fine and is sharp enough.

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.

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.

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

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