Works surprisingly well for the low cost. Dual purpose and functional. Would purchase again, absolutely no complaints!

Does all the things it says it does, quite easily I might add. No leaks from holes I punched and cuts great too.

This tool is sturdy and saves a lot of time and pain when inserting drip emitters into plastic tubing. Trying to push an emitter into a tube without this tool is time consuming and painful for your hand. With this tool, it takes maybe 2 seconds to install an emitter. and it is pain-free. This is well worth the cost.

I had been fighting with an issue in my yard and had been trying to use scissors to cut the black pipe. The scissors kind of squished the pipe causing it to split. I got this cutter and viola it worked in a few seconds, like a charm. I highly recommend this little pipe cutter.

the cutter works perfectly. Cuts .5 and .25 lines like butter. I've done about 300 cuts so far and its still perfect.Hole punch ... doesn't work when its 100F. the flexible tubing collapses and punch doesn't make a hole.But below 95F it works great.If it is 100, they you can pressurize the line with water. Then the punch works. Its kinda fun getting a blast of water. make sure you have the 1/4 feeder line ready when you do this ;-)

I did not think I needed this. I have been using a small saw for 30 years to cut my dripper hoses. Worked OK. Found this, took a chance, and -- what a game changer. Whacks off 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch tubes easy as can be. Has a clip so that you do not cut everything when you are transporting it. Only problem is you need three hands to really use it, or two hands and a lot of cussing, but when it works, bird sing, sun shines, and angels appear in the heavens. I recommend it. If you have 3/4 inch, you are outta luck.

This is a great little tool. It cuts the tubing cleanly and easily makes the hole for the barbed fittings

Works well for what it is. A bit small and hard to hold onto it while using it. If it was on a key ring with something else (keys) it would be easier to hold.

I ordered a RainBird drip irrigation system, part by part, to water my vegetable garden (with large raised beds). One of the challenges we face is that we move the vegetables from bed to bed each year, and so it used to take a lot of time to adjust and rebuild our old system as the plants changed places.With my new RainBird system I was able to set up a single long 1/4" drip tubing (with 6" hole spacing) for each bed so that it can be laid out quickly around all the plants, the closer the spacing the more water etc.. The backbone of the system is a 1/2" main line where I used a bunch of T's and L's to smoothly run the main pipe under the soil, popping up a branch over the edge of each raised bed. I used 1/4" barbed coupling fittings (get the purple RainBird tool for these!) to connect the 1/4" drip tubing to the 1/2" main line branches.All connections went together really well, the pieces are consistent, I have not found any leaks, and best of all I was able to install on my own in under 2 hours, including burying the main line pipe! I am very satisfied, and would strongly recommend this product.

This thing is tiny; the grip is not even 3/4 of an inch wide and barely 1 inch long. I have small hands and its not so comfortable to use; I could only get a good grip on the thing with my index finger and thumb. It was ok for a few connections but I needed to make 40 which was going to kill my index finger knuckle....so I made my own ergonomic poker out of an old awl and my hands thanked me. If you need to make a couple of connections then this will work fine for you, no need to spend 10 bucks on a deluxe punch, but be aware for big jobs it probably isn't the best choice.
