🔴 1.50-Inch Circle Punch by EK Tools, Enhanced Packaging Review

I took a hole punch out of the packaging and punched 2 (very nice) discs out of thin cardboard. On the third try, the puncher blocked and could neither hit nor close to store. I requested a replacement from Revain and received it today. The new punch clamps without punching a single disc!
