EK Tools Circle Punch, 1.25-Inch, New Package

I hate huge hole punchers. Theyre hard to use without nearly spraining your hand in the process. This one, however, did not have that problem. Its shaped like a clip, instead of using that big, obnoxious button-shaped thing youve got to mash to cut anything. With this punch, you simply squeeze the ends as if it were a clothespin and it smoothly and effectively does the job. No violent mashing of awkwardly button shaped hole punches. Very sleek and easy design. Super happy with it.

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

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)

Excellent product. I was hesitant to buy the hole punch because it seemed like could not see and align what punching out. BUT if turn over the punch (to bottom side) can easily center and see what you are punching out before to make sure aligned up. I would just put that into product description or into the photos of product so other consumers know.

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!

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!

Item works great. I needed this odd size to punch out my signature stamp for the back of the cards I make. I got tired of fussy cutting them and not be neat. This solved my issue. I would gladly purchase from this seller again.

I had to replace circle punch 1.25 inch which I had.

I needed this to punch out designs for my button pins. I used to cut out the designs as it was pretty tedious. With this, I was able to punch out 10x faster. It’s actually more fun this way, haha. I did try to hole punch fabric and it did go through some fabric. Thicker fabric did get stuck and I had to wiggle it a bit to set it free...

Im using this to help the button making process. This cuts perfect 1.25 circles. The only view of what you cutting is on the bottom and not the top, which really helps to see what Im cutting. Also on the bottom there is a yellow switch that when the machine is pressed down and switched it completely flattens. This helps with its portability. The quality of the cutter is great and has a little weight to it since the inside mechanics and circle blade is all metal. Better to buy this product than the $60 or over circle cutters they sell online on button parts/machine websites! Most definitely worth the $9!
