I am getting my system installed. I have used drip irrigation for many years but some of my beds have changed and it is time for an update. I have enough raised beds to fall into the "large garden" category. I'm also 77, so my hands aren't quite as strong as they used to be. All of my half-inch tubing is installed and I am getting my quarter inch drippers into place. I already had a couple of punches including your pocket punch, but I didn't know about it's additional features. What I found is that it was very awkward to use on my tubing that was nailed down at the heads of my raised beds. I had to put a screwdriver under the tubing and raise it up into the curve of the punch in order to get the hole in the right place. So I went to the local big box store and bought a simple punch, which I found easier to use to get the hole where I wanted it. After watching this video I went onto the big box store website and found that my little $3 punch has insertion features that I didn't know were there. Anyway, I've still got 30+ holes to punch in the raised beds, and more in my in-ground gardens and I found this video very useful. I'll probably wind up with more of your tools as I put in more drip line in other places.

Slightly confused about best practices for tube temperature for various steps in the process. -you leave rolled up tubing out in the sun to warm it up to help it uncoil and lay flat as you lay it in the beds -you cool it down so holes are punched in it with a snap and you don’t deform the tubing or stretch the hole. -you warm it back up if comparable size fittings go into the sane size tubing. Does one of the punches not deform the hole and cut cleanly through? I’m installing this in a south Florida garden and it’s never cooling down in my neck of the woods. Ever.
