Review on Fiskars 1.5 Inch Large Circle Squeeze Punch - White, Model 174240-1001 by Denise Davis

Three main disadvantages

This is a good idea, but poorly executed. The advantages are that the handle is easy to grab and the open design makes it easy to see where you're hitting. Now for the cons: 1. The punch often jams/jams even when cutting a sheet of plain paper. I believe this is because the cut surfaces are not made with very high precision.2. The edges of the circle cut are not as clean as they could be, again due to low precision metal parts.3. The distance between the edge of the paper and where you can punch (another reviewer called it the 'throat') is very small, which really limits this punch's range of uses. This is no problem, if you want to use perforated circles, but a big problem if you want to use paper. in which you made holes. I've tried folding the paper in half, but even if you have the right precision to make a perfect circle (not as difficult as it sounds), there's an even higher chance that the stamp will pop open when you fold it gets stuck on the paper. I'll probably struggle with that kick in my project, but I wouldn't recommend it to others. as it sounds), there is an even higher chance that the stamp will get stuck on the paper while folding.
