🟣 Purple Chrome McGill Punchline MCG53600C Review

Punches very clean holes in card and tracing paper. It has weight, so it seems like a quality hit. Not an easy and cheap feeling. Very satisfied.

Bought and the plastic element that collects the dots fell off completely right away. When I used it, there were punched holes all over it. Also, the holes that were punched weren't "clean", they almost ripped the paper instead of cutting it. I had to use it because I was in a bind, but I was very disappointed and my project looked a little sloppy.

This has punched about a billion holes in over 190 sheets of computer paper (about eight sheets at a time) and two sheets of medium particle board (separately). My hand gave up much earlier than they did. I'm happy to report that they didn't lose their sharpness throughout the process, even on chipboard. The handle got a little sticky after the first hour of stamping, but it's a very well made tool.

I don't think everyone needs a long range custom 3/16 inch hole punch but when I found out it existed, he was perfect for me purpose. I had to punch 3/16" holes in very thin sheet metal strips so I could use screws to hold the strips in place. This hole punch worked perfectly. Probably not many people use it to punch holes in metal, but If it works with metal then there shouldn't be a problem with paper, cardboard, plastic etc. The long range was a bonus!

I was a little concerned when I bought this for use on paper, laminate and thin card. It arrived today and I was able to punch through the packaging it came in with no problem. The cardboard part worked well, the plastic too. Both pieces hit the purple handle like they should. Hole and punch fit, the handles are as they should be. Actually I find the purple rubber a bit too bulky but it suits what I will be using it for. I'm worried it will be enough.

At first glance this appears to be a well made quality product. It's heavy with good rubber grips. but i tried to use it. I was hoping that this product would be easy to use and cleanly punched, but it wasn't. I'm not sure if this is a design issue or if I just got a defective one, but the puncture of the punch doesn't always line up well with the hole and as a result this tool often gets stuck before a full and clean punch can be made . I really wanted this item to work as I would like a…

First the packaging is different from the listing. Maybe it was old stock? The packaging was also opened so I can't say for sure it was brand new. Second, the description on the box describes it as "higher quality" but when I pressed the punch the die deflected a bit so I had to press harder to push it through the hole. Basically, a cut hole is clean on one side and torn on the other side. The result is a hole that is not clean but ripped. There is no way I would recommend this punch and give…
