Excellent heart punch

Excellent big heart punch. The die cut hearts measure approximately 2.5 inches wide. There's a sliding plastic bottom to catch hits if you want to land multiple hits instead of having them flying all over the place. I've used this to work on several large craft projects; punched over 500 hearts and worked with a 1-heart as well as with a 500-heart. The hole punch punches through a few thin pages at a time, or you can use it to punch one thicker page at a time, like cardboard. Collection!

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

A little difficult to use.

This hammer drill has given me a few problems. The first one I got was terrible and rarely gave a clean circle. But they quickly replaced it, which is very satisfied. The second worked fairly well but sometimes left part of the circle unclean. Also, the spacing at the bottom of the punch area was very tight, so I had to cut fairly close to the piece I was punching to get an image in the punch area. (That's partly why I think it didn't cut cleanly every time.) But it was hard to find a 3-inchโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Not the best

Also easy to cut upside down!

I bought this to die cut 3 inch stickers which I printed on self adhesive paper so it was 2 ply. I had to make sure it perfectly cut the print to be traced, so I had to turn it upside down to get the perfect cut. It worked great! The ultra-sharp cut made it easy to place and cut perfectly with one hand while holding my decal in place with the other. It is light but very well made. I think I'll be using it for years to come! It has a bottom cover that's easy to remove so you can see everythingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Big and Bulky

Kind of useless. best in craft

I found this product useless considering how difficult it was to use and how long it took to knock out the flakes. You can only punch once because the die is pretty flimsy and the excess paper gets stuck in the flake details and you spend more time removing the excess paper from the die than making snowflakes. If you need to make a lot of snowflakes, this solution is not for you. If you're only making a few for a scrapbook, this will work just fine. Luckily I was able to use another heavy dutyโ€ฆ

  • Feels good

Reliable Heavy Duty Die

I bought this die to make labels for things I knit as gifts for friends and family or for sale. I use a hole punch to punch a hole in one of the ends of the star and crochet thread to attach it. I pull the thread through the hole and pull the ends through the knit with a crochet hook and then tie them so that the thread makes a lark head knot. the recipient, what fibers have been used and how to wash and care for the item. When you read about the size it appears huge. However, the shape leavesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Crafts
Cons
  • Exorbitant Piggy Bank

Great shape/size but doesn't last

This size of hole punch in this design is almost impossible to find in a store (I've been looking for months) and every time I've needed one I've had to order from here . The size and shape are fantastic for the paper flowers we make, but like Momfish said, they don't last long. Of course, mine lasted longer than theirs (at least a year since I don't use it very often), but for a little over $20, it shouldn't break as quickly as it does now. Even now it still "works" if you're strong enough toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • paper and paper crafts
Cons
  • small items

Didn't dull for long

A hole punch is included to keep the paper from falling out of the bottom. You need to pull it out from the same place you inserted the paper. Also, thinner paper tends to tear rather than cut due to the action of the blade. Then, to sharpen, you have to insert the foil into the hole punch, let it squeeze, and then try to pull it out again and again with a piece of cardboard or something. It's a good idea, but bad technique. There's no way to take the punch apart (if a piece of something getsโ€ฆ
