CADY Crafts Punch 1-Inch Paper Punches EVA Handmade Punches (Circle)

I’ve bought around 5 of this same exact hole punch because this is definitely my favorite one I’ve bought. I use 1 inch circle punches for one of my most popular craft items I make and I have tried close to ten different brands and styles of various price points and quality and this is my favorite which definitely surprised me considering it’s one of the least expensive. That being said it doesn’t bother me that I inevitably have to buy new ones almost yearly due to accidental breaking or just getting worn out from extreme overuse

This works great for what it was intended to do. Cuts wonderfully through paper and even card stock.However, it has a tough time cutting through card stock with a piece of standard weight paper glued to it and both sides covered with a layer of clear packing tape. I can get it to cut most of the circle but not all of it. (I have arthritis in my hands) I bought it with the intention of cutting out 1inch paper tokens for ttrpgs like D&D. And it doesn't work as well as I would like for that. I did not dock the product stars as it does work great for the paper product load it was designed to handle. As a crafter, I still have tons of normal uses for it, so I am still happy with it. Just keep in mind that if you intend to get this for heavier projects, like I described, you may be disappointed.

I've only just started using this, however I've had ZERO problems. I was able to cut 60 circles out of regular copy paper in one sitting and I had NO problems at all. I followed the tip of another reviewer (taking off the bottom plastic piece, and using it upside down to see my artwork) and it worked perfectly. I was nervous after reading some of the other reviews...but I'm so glad I purchased this. I'm sure I'll have to purchase another one in time - but the price being as low as it is that isn't really much of a problem. It didn't stick, I had no hanging chad issues, didn't have to trim - I'm very, very happy. Thank you! Saved me a LOT of time (I was using an exacto knife before)!

I guess you get what you pay for, so they say, but it's true! I have used this product not even a full day. I can get maybe 3 good punches before it snags or catches on the paper on one side then i have to sit there and dig the paper out with scissors or a thin object to clean it out. A little annoying and slows my work down. I'm going to have to buy another one now and have this as a back-up. BummedII wanted to come on and do an update review. When I did my original review it was with thinner paper, which did'nt work very well. It does work really well with card stock paper and also Cork. So I put it to 4 stars.

This product was only recently received, but so far I am happy with it. The punch is easy to use. The handle is ergonomic (by my own description.) It cuts through cardstock cleanly and quickly.

Works great for my cabachon necklaces. As long as u don't try to cut to many at once.

It gets the job done

I’m extremely disappointed with this punch. I bought it to replace a 1” paper punch I’ve had for several *years* that was at a similar price pint by a different company, but this punch was not only warped straight out of the package, I was only able to punch one (poor quality, messy jagged-edged) circle before the mechanism snapped or something. Now the lever doesn’t go up at all, it’s not just jammed, which has happened before with other punches and which I always found easy to fix - it’s not stuck, it can’t even punch, only flops around. Judging by the extent of the metal being warped and dull, I wouldn’t be surprised if that first punch made it get caught on itself. That said, I can’t even troubleshoot it. How something so simple gets bricked and useless on the first try tells me everything I need to know about the inspection process, I doubt I’d buy from this seller or even company after getting garbage like this. I almost never return things (where I live makes it a lot of trouble and I don’t have expensive tastes, I’m chill if things just work.) but I hope I can get there and with any luck get a not broken item next time. My very old, well used and dulled one at least still punches. I’m getting rid of this on principle, and I’m going to read the return policy right after posting some pictures so you can see what you’re getting here. I don’t know why they’d want it back at all, but I’m going to get a refund even if the local post is a nightmare trip.
