Review on πŸ”΄ Fiskars XX-Large Circle Lever Punch: Effortlessly Create Perfect Circles by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works really well, but only on thicker and stiffer paper. Skip copier paper or lighter paper.

This punch makes it easy to cut paper that is closer to thick cardboard. Luckily I needed that. I easily cut 36+ circles out of thick paper (maybe 65 lb paper? I'm not sure) with this guy. Out of curiosity, I then tried to cut normal printer paper - without success. Not a single circle came out clean. It's either bent a little, still connected a little, or torn. Then I cut thick paper again and it worked great again. In other words, it wasn't because it was "boring". This hole punch only seems to work with paper that is inherently somewhat stiff (it doesn't get pinched and bent as easily when punching). So if you want to cut lighter paper (cheap carbon paper or thinner paper) I would skip. But if you're cutting quality paper with a slightly higher density, this will work just fine. Also a tip: hold the paper upside down and punch if you need to see the orientation of the cut.

Pros
  • Punch
Cons
  • Dull Pack
