This 10mm hand punch prepares openings in poly supply pipe for barbed take-off fittings. These fittings create a branch from the supply pipe to a smaller irrigation line, such as 13mm poly tubing or 16mm dripline.
The take-off barb pushes into the prepared opening in the supply-pipe wall. Its other end connects to the branch tubing. Straight and elbow take-offs serve this purpose where they are specified for use with this punch size.
The curved handle provides a broad handhold, with finger contours to help position the tool. The metal tip forms the opening as the punch is pressed into the pipe wall.
