EK Tools Circle Punch, 1.25-Inch, New Package

Love EK punches. I needed to replace my 1” due to my hubby using it outside in his shop... so decided to get the 1.25 and 1.5 as well. Will be making some layered circles. Best to use just with plain paper - nothing sticky!

The circle punch was shipped in a bubble envelope. For a supposedly new one, it looked older and more used compared to the ones I own of the same brand, but I kept it because I needed it quick, the price was good and it works perfectly Problem was not the item, but the packaging, or as I now suspect - repackaging. When I reached in and grabbed the top of the package, the punch slid out!I I had no idea it was already open at the bottom. I want to be clear, the bottom cardboard piece was missing- completely ripped off of the package. I was lucky I was quick enough to remove my foot before it hit, but luckier when my quick foot movement startled my dog enough for him to jump out of the way- the punch barely missing his head before landing on carpet. Great circle punch but terrible repackaging Amazon!

I really like this tool. It has a nice weight to it and punches through paper very well. It even has a little latch to keep it closed too when not in use. However, I bought it with the purpose of cutting out artwork to use for my button maker to create 1.25 buttons and the cut outs are too small. When you assemble the paper to the button, the paper does not wrap around the button fully. Their size of the cut out needs to be a bit bigger. Lesson learned.

It was great while it lasted. But it no longer cuts clean circles. Im not so certain that Ill bother replacing it with the same brand. Id like it to last longer

Worked great for making arts and crafts and cuts smoothly! I made some buttons out of the punchouts as well.

Nice punch, exactly what I needed and good quality so far, only used it a few times.

The best part of this circle punch is it allows flexibility with how close you put the hole to the edge of the paper, you can move it in about an half an inch, which other punches do now allow, perfect for door hangers. Also, I looked at JoAnns, walmart, michaels staples and could not fine one like this. I like to shop locally because I can see if the items meet my needs, and usually I can tell if the item is going to work out, but when I cant, I go online. This hole punch works very well on 110 pound heavy weight paper. Well worth the price!! I even came back to review this item which I never do!

It is very sturdy, easy to use and a great value for my money!

I use this to cut circles in thick coated phosphorus match strike paper. The cutter extremely heavy duty ( I was surprised because if its price point) and cuts a crisp circle. So happy with it, I purchased a smaller size as well. Thank you for a Great product at a very good price!

Other than the dementions this is a sturdy nice little device.
