EK Tools Circle Punch, 1.25-Inch, New Package

The circle punch was shipped in a bubble envelope. For a supposedly new one, it looked older and more used compared to the ones I own of the same brand, but I kept it because I needed it quick, the price was good and it works perfectly Problem was not the item, but the packaging, or as I now suspect - repackaging. When I reached in and grabbed the top of the package, the punch slid out!I I had no idea it was already open at the bottom. I want to be clear, the bottom cardboard piece was missing- completely ripped off of the package. I was lucky I was quick enough to remove my foot before it hit, but luckier when my quick foot movement startled my dog enough for him to jump out of the way- the punch barely missing his head before landing on carpet. Great circle punch but terrible repackaging Amazon!

I use this to cut circles in thick coated phosphorus match strike paper. The cutter extremely heavy duty ( I was surprised because if its price point) and cuts a crisp circle. So happy with it, I purchased a smaller size as well. Thank you for a Great product at a very good price!

I had to replace circle punch 1.25 inch which I had.

Wow- the product photos do not represent the size and heft of this punch. In the past I have purchased many plastic circle punches that break after a short amount of usage. This punch is not flimsy, its heavy and large in size, the back side is open so that you can see the image that you are cutting. Highly recommend, will never go back to the plastic crap!

this has been a very helpful tool. I use this on this cardboard and tetra pak without a problem. So much easier than cutting out circles. The only thing I would change is to be able to see from the top. I usually turn it upside down so I can align the paper just so, but that seems to be working just fine (just a bit more work on the forearms)

Everything came as advertised, overall a solid, affordable hole punch, the product does feel as if it would break after 4-5 months; but overall worth the price

Would have been better if you guys designed it with the hole on top so that when youre getting ready to punch it, we know itll be centered... I have to use this upside down, to be able to do that.

So easy and cuts perfect every time. I use it to make 1inch pinback buttons.

This is an amazing tool for 10 bucks. Im using it to punch out circles of sticker paper to make custom poker chips and its perfect. People have asked if you can see what youre cutting out. Ive enclosed a picture to show what the bottom of the punch looks like. You just line it up and squeeze and perfect 1.25 circles come out. I couldnt be more pleased with how this worked out. The other picture is the finished product. Very happy!!

I really like this tool. It has a nice weight to it and punches through paper very well. It even has a little latch to keep it closed too when not in use. However, I bought it with the purpose of cutting out artwork to use for my button maker to create 1.25 buttons and the cut outs are too small. When you assemble the paper to the button, the paper does not wrap around the button fully. Their size of the cut out needs to be a bit bigger. Lesson learned.
