Pros
  • All shapes are measured diagonally
Cons
  • Rosette required

Easiest way for me to make thousands of circles

Pros
  • Lever punch for easy punching
Cons

I managed to free him, but now the blades were in disarray. It doesn't even punch a…

Pros
  • Punch 5/8 inch diagonal; Hole punch with ease
Cons
  • Some bugs
