Review on πŸ”¨ Crafting with Ease: Circle Punch 5/8 inch Handmade Paper Punch Tool by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Disappointed - beware this does not work on tear away vinyl paper (stickers)

I bought this hole punch to print and make round vinyl stickers. I used 100 micron matte vinyl paper with a removable backing. Much to my disappointment, this hole punch does not cleanly cut/perforate vinyl, tear-off paper. The vinyl layer of paper gets stuck between the cutting edges of the punch and the cylindrical part that the punch fits into, resulting in partial cutting and subsequent jamming. Completely unsatisfactory results. Although the listing says "don't use sticky paper to prevent the stamp from getting stuck", I put "sticky paper" not the same as a removable vinyl sticker, which I think is not sticky [feel]. Not expecting any problems with a Fiskars product, I waited too long past the return window to use it. However, I can warn others about this, and if you just want die-cut cards (regular everyday paper doesn't always die-cut cleanly either) then that's fine.

Pros
