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.

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.

Would have been better if you guys designed it with the hole on top so that when youre getting ready to punch it, we know itll be centered... I have to use this upside down, to be able to do that.

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.

This is an amazing tool for 10 bucks. Im using it to punch out circles of sticker paper to make custom poker chips and its perfect. People have asked if you can see what youre cutting out. Ive enclosed a picture to show what the bottom of the punch looks like. You just line it up and squeeze and perfect 1.25 circles come out. I couldnt be more pleased with how this worked out. The other picture is the finished product. Very happy!!

My Hubby uses these in making small items for his online business. Whether punching paper, sheet, or roll plastics the EK Success Circle Punch does well with all but stretchy items.Stretchy it just does not do. While either working blind or getting popped in the face (open side up) is a pain, theres just no better, inexpensive tool for the job.

Works great and is not cheaply made like the other colorful ones on amazon. I have used this punch thousands of times already, dropped it hundreds of times and it still works like it did when I bought it. I bought one of the cheaper ones on here before I bought this one and it only lasted about two weeks and only for about 2-3 hundred punches before it broke. So I definitely recommend buying this brand if you plan on using it for a long long time. It might cost more but trust me , it’s worth it. A+++++++++++++++++++++

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.

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