The 2 in 1 Punch and Cutter is great tool for cutting 19mm Poly Pipe and punching holes so that microtubing and Octasprays can be connected. This is a really handy tool for installing irrigation systems at home. It's not to the same build standard as the professional hole punching tools which are $70+ but is certainly good enough for home gardener use. It is suitable for the commonly used 13mm and 19mm polypipe but can also be used on 25mm polypipe. Good for cutting the pipe to the correct length and replaces the need for scissors. The hole punch makes the perfect sized hole for inserting micro irrigation fittings. This is the main feature of this tool that makes it a great purchase. We did find one instance where it didn't work correctly and that related to how soft the pipe was. Polypipe that had been sitting in the sun gets very soft and when trying to use the punch, it just squashed the pipe. This tool needs the polypipe to be firm so it can punch through the layer. To solve this, move the pipe into the shade or do this step in the cooler parts of the day. To see all our irrigation products and a video showing how to set up a home irrigation system click here.
