Drip Tool FAQs

How do I use a drip irrigation hole puncher?

A drip irrigation hole puncher is used to create clean, precise holes in poly drip tubing. For an accurate hole, start by unrolling your poly tubing and holding it steady. With one hand, press the drip irrigation punch tool firmly into the tubing until you hear or feel a little “pop” as it punches through cleanly. For tough tubing, soften it with warm water or by leaving it in the sun for a few minutes.

What kinds of tubing can I cut with my drip line cutter?

A drip line cutter is designed to cut flexible plastic irrigation tubing. This usually includes polyethylene tubing ranging from ¼” to 1” without much trouble, though heavy-duty cutters may be needed for thicker tubes. Some cutters can also handle vinyl or flexible PVC tubing, but hard PVC and metal tubing are usually too hard.

Can I expand my irrigation system later?

Yes, you can expand your drip irrigation system at any time. With the right drip irrigation tools, you’ll be able to cut new pieces of poly pipe and add new emitters along the sides with a drip irrigation hole punch. Other drip irrigation parts and accessories, like emitters and fittings, will also come in handy as your system grows.
