Review on Uchida LV-XGCP40 Clever Lever Extra-Giga Craft Punch: Effortlessly Create Perfect Circles by Tara Ford

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Hole punch 3.5 " circles

I use this to make filters for my Moka Krups coffee maker. The circles are 1/8" smaller than real filters. Still good as the 5 holes through which the coffee is filtered are near the center so the filter covers the holes with a large rim. get 400 filters because the chemex are folded like squares in the middle and you get 100. Each stamp of a chemex filter = 4 filters. Specialcase came up with the idea, so the credit goes to him. Edit: Doesn't work well after 230 Chemex filter stamps. . No longer gets hit clean. Expected to withstand at least 500 hits. I deducted a star. Edit #2: I bought a replacement and the new one works just as badly as the one I threw in the trash. Refuses to cleanly cut filter paper and constantly sticks. I will try the Fisker version.

Pros
  • Hole punch
Cons
  • unreliable
