Punches for PE Pipe

Specialized tool
Sizes
Punch tips including 12 mm, 15 mm and 18 mm; with or without saddle
Best for
A threaded handle and a sharp punch tip make a clean hole with one hand, and the plastic slug stays out of the pipe rather than washing downstream into an emitter. Winged and threaded handle versions; separate punches for start connectors

Inserters for Drippers & Fittings

Specialized tool
Sizes
Pro Grip and 8 mm models; versions for PE pipe and for micro-tube
Best for
Seats drippers, connectors and fittings without fighting the pipe or splitting the barb. Separate ranges for PE lateral and for micro-tube, and combined punch-and-insert tools that do both in one motion

Layflat Cutters

Specialized tool
Sizes
9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 16.5, 17, 19, 20 and 42 mm (LFC series)
Best for
Cuts a clean sized hole in layflat for the outlet fitting — eleven sizes so the hole matches the connector instead of being stretched to fit, which is what starts a leak

Drill Bits for PE Pipe

Specialized tool
Sizes
7.5, 8, 8.5, 12, 14, 15, 15.5, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 30 and 33 mm (DR series)
Best for
Eighteen sizes covering every common saddle and fitting, for opening larger pipe where a punch will not reach

Quick Drill QDB / QDS

Specialized tool
Sizes
QDS small — 3.2, 3.7, 7.5, 8.2, 9, 11, 12 mm · QDB big — 8.2, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 22, 24 mm
Best for
Two bodies covering 3.2 mm up to 24 mm, so one tool family spans a micro-tube take-off and a submain saddle. Spare punch tips are sold separately for both, which means a blunt tip is a two-minute change rather than a new tool
Catalog ↗

Twist Punch

Specialized tool
Sizes
12, 15 and 18 mm
Best for
The threaded handle winds the punch through the wall rather than relying on hand force, and the plastic slug stays out of the hole instead of dropping into the pipe. Sharp tip on a winged handle — the tool for larger holes where a plain punch is hard work
Catalog ↗

Trigger Tools

Specialized tool
Sizes
TR3 with one 3 mm punch · TR2,3 with 2 and 3 mm · TR2,3,4 with 2, 3 and 4 mm; spare punches in 2, 3 and 4 mm
Best for
Squeeze-trigger punch, so a whole lateral gets punched without twisting a handle hundreds of times — the difference matters by the end of a row. Multi-punch heads carry two or three sizes at once so you are not swapping tools mid-run
Catalog ↗

Mini Punch

Specialized tool
Sizes
Mini Punch and Mini Punch Grip versions
Best for
Small hand punch for micro-tube and light lateral work, with a grip version for repeat use
Catalog ↗

Reamers

Specialized tool
Sizes
RM50 for 50 mm pipe
Best for
Cleans and sizes the bore before a connector goes in, so the fitting seats square instead of on a burr — a burr is what starts a weep six months later
Catalog ↗

Dripper Releaser

Specialized tool
Best for
Pulls a dripper back out of the lateral without tearing the hole — so a blocked emitter can be swapped and the same hole reused, rather than plugging it and punching again
Catalog ↗

Grip Tools

Specialized tool
Sizes
Grip tool for 5 and 7 mm pipe · grip for inserting parts and spikes into 16 mm pipe · Grip 4 Head
Best for
Gives a proper hold on the part being pushed home, so fittings and spikes seat fully without splitting the barb or skinning your hand
Catalog ↗

Punch & Inserter Combination Tools

Specialized tool
Sizes
Includes Turbo Drip (Naan) and Plastro/Antelco-specific heads
Best for
Punches the hole and seats the dripper in one motion instead of two passes down the row. Heads are made to suit specific dripper brands — Turbo Drip, Plastro and Antelco among them — so the fit is right for the barb being used
