Rain Bird HPTCX Drip Irrigation 2-in-1 Tubing Cutter/Hole Punch Tool

The Rain Bird HPTCX Drip Irrigation 2-in-1 Combination Tubing Cutter/Hole Punch Tool is a time-saving, spring-loaded device designed to efficiently cut and punch holes in drip irrigation tubing. This versatile tool features a hardened steel hole punch and a surgical stainless-steel blade, ensuring clean and precise cuts every time.

The angled two-sided blade aligns the tubing for a clean, square cut, eliminating the risk of jagged edges or crushed tubing. To use the cutter and punch features, simply squeeze the two non-cutting ends together, place the tubing in the appropriate opening, and then apply pressure to the cutting/punch end. The spring-loaded design automatically closes the jaws after the cut or punch, enhancing safety and providing convenient field storage.

The hole punch function creates a clean, debris-free hole, making it perfect for piercing 1/2" or larger drip tubing to install a variety of devices, such as drippers/emitters, sprays/mists/bubblers/risers, and 1/4" tubing fittings. This tool is also suitable for cutting LPDE pipe, vinyl tubing, drip irrigation tubing, soaker hoses, clear vinyl tubes (CVT), and other "soft" tubes up to 0.866" (22 mm) in outside diameter.

Recognizing the importance of visibility, Rain Bird has designed the HPTCX tool with a highly visible purple color, allowing it to be easily spotted in grass, soil, bark, mulch, and other outdoor environments. This feature enhances productivity and reduces the risk of the tool getting lost or misplaced during use.
