EK Tools Circle Punch, 1.25-Inch, New Package

The circle punch is easy to use and stands up to repeated use- have been using it for months and it is well made.

Good circle punch for paper and cardstock

I bought this to cut vinyl sheet to make discs for an air burst rocket. A pack of 60 discs costs $5.25 plus shipping. The vinyl material costs almost nothing. So after about 100 discs this would pay for itself. My first experiment with it was disappointing. The plastic was too thin and the punch did not cut all the way through, making the edges very rough and difficult to remove. However, the next material I tried worked perfectly. I was able to crank out a bunch of discs in no time. The rocket is so much fun to use that I felt I needed an unlimited supply and I didnt want to feel like I was draining my pocketbook to use it. I am really glad I found and bought this. It works great on paper too.

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

I needed a punch that would cut through laminated paper. I did not know how difficult it would be to find something to cut out a circle. I opened my package right away when I received my punch and tried it on a scrap of lamination (with regular paper and 5 mil laminate) and it cut without any problem. Then I tried 110 card stock with 5 mil lamination and that worked as well. This is the best punch you can buy!

I was using this with a one inch of another brand, on chipboard for the crafts I do. Well on the first piece, the El - Junko brand fell apart in pieces. No more cute R-2 D-2 looking contraption. But this one from EK, an inch and a half, trooped right through I did the whole board in under a minute. Had well established circles exactly how I needed them. Very happy with this brand. However I will warn about others. They arent all alike. EK seems to have a good thing going on with their engineering and QC. Ill take functional over cute any day. Thanks.

Everything came as advertised, overall a solid, affordable hole punch, the product does feel as if it would break after 4-5 months; but overall worth the price

Wow- the product photos do not represent the size and heft of this punch. In the past I have purchased many plastic circle punches that break after a short amount of usage. This punch is not flimsy, its heavy and large in size, the back side is open so that you can see the image that you are cutting. Highly recommend, will never go back to the plastic crap!

this has been a very helpful tool. I use this on this cardboard and tetra pak without a problem. So much easier than cutting out circles. The only thing I would change is to be able to see from the top. I usually turn it upside down so I can align the paper just so, but that seems to be working just fine (just a bit more work on the forearms)

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
