INNETOC Adjustable Japanese Screw Hole Punch, Leather Hole Punch Tool, Paper Hole Punch, Craft Puncher, 6 Tip Sizes Fabric Punch Set

I bought this punch to make holes in text weight and cover weight paper for bookmaking. I returned it for a refund because it did not punch through even one sheet of paper without repeated punchings that inevitably became out of line with one another. When it finally did punch a hole, the paper got stuck in the bit, so I had to take it apart and dig out the paper bits with a paper clip. If there are special instructions for any of this, I cannot know because all the writing is in Japanese. I can read five languages, including Chinese, but Japanese is not in my repertoire! I cannot recommend this product.

Very easy to use. I use it to punch holes for rivets on bags.

I worked with this same tool back in Antwerp at a fashion house, but definitely a different brand. This item I bought takes some force to puncture holes and makes the most awful sound. You could hear every spring, bolt, and internal mechanism rub against each other like its colliding together in an accident. Overall, this item does exactly as its asked, but it is not smooth or elegant to use like the one I used before.

When it works properly on fabric/vinyl, it is great and you can punch a bunch of holes. Most of the time, it doesnt completely punch the hole and cleaning out the tip doesnt usually help. It is like the metal parts arent fitting completely and it grinds when you punch. Makes it hard work.

This isnt a good screw punch. but it was cheap and lasted through one class. I knew that it it was a risk being a fraction of the price of a good one.

I was a little skeptical at first, but it will work its way through several layers of vinyl and fabric. When it arrived, it didnt work very well because it was stiff and a bit sticky. A light shot of WD40 fixed that and it works like a charm!

Unfortunately I did not try this out quickly before the warranty ran out or return date. The first time I used it the center area thats supposed to rotate on the spring broke or jammed. It just went up inside the wood handle it and wouldnt come out. Tried everything to fix it. Total junk Definitely avoid.

It works but probably needs to be oiled. It is very difficult to push down and leaves small bits of brass metal shavings on my work.

I bought this because I am trying to create booklets using a coil binding spine. The punch did not work consistently on basic copy paper. I tried to punch through three sheets of copy paper at once; I placed three sheets of copy paper on top of a piece of cardboard over a cutting mat. I also tried this with one sheet of paper at a time. Many of my punch attempts did not give a clean punch and I had to repunch the same hole multiple times. The packaging is in Japanese. I used Google Translate to read the packaging, to try to figure out if I was doing something incorrectly. In the translation (if its correct), it says the tool is not intended for thin paper. If thats the case, then this tool is not what I need, unfortunately, and it would explain why I was not able to successfully punch holes in paper.

Its tough to punch through many layers of vinyl for bag making. Its also tough to see where youre punching with some of the hand punches or big presses. This went through multiple layers with ease and I could see exactly where i was putting the hole. And you can put the hole anywhere! Youre not restricted by the length of your press. It is a bit of a learning curve to have the punch do the rotation when pressing down and that is critical. Practice on a cutting mat without material a couple of times to get the feel. I used my self heal sewing matt and it didnt seem to damage it at all. I dont use this for paper. I know paper dulls things quickly so thats probably the reason for some of the lower reviews. For fabric its great.
