EK Tools 54 31014 Butterfly Silhouette Review

I've wanted a butterfly die for a long time even though I have a die. I have my granddaughters cut butterflies out of different papers so that I always have them on hand and in every color. And I wouldn't buy a single hammer drill that isn't made by EK.

Love the quality of this hole punch and the fact that its rectangular shape makes it easy to fold and store! It also has a nice hole in the back so you can see clearly the paper you are punching. The only thing that disappointed me was that it was smaller than I thought it would be. It's only about an inch and I want it to be at least 1.5 inches.

They work well. I have a pair of EK brand shock absorbers. No complaints except that it takes some effort to pierce the paper. If the upper was more arm-like and longer, you would have better torque and it would require less effort. BUT I like that they are compact and easy to store. I used this hole punch and a different size bow tie for a large project. I cut out about 75 butterflies from cardboard. Nothing caught and pierced to the end.
