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

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)!

Good

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. BummedI I 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.

The CADY Crafts 1-inch paper punch is excellent! Cuts perfect circles every time, making crafting easy and enjoyable. Durable and comfortable to use, perfect for scrapbooking, card making, and other DIY projects. Adds a professional touch to any craft. ✨

Great little punch for the price! It’s not industrial-strength, but it will punch through cardstock just fine. Perfect for my printed stickers and paper craft stuff. Better quality than the ek line, which I find to have random imperfections on the cutting doe portion, leaving tiny fibers uncut and possibly tearing the paper.

I’ve had this punch for about a month now and it’s still holding up great. I’ve had no problems with the cutting mechanism at all. The only issue I have is that I have to cut extremely close to the edge of the image or pattern I want to punch otherwise it gets cut off. Not big enough of a problem that I wouldn’t recommend it. Overall great product.

After reading all the other reviews, I decided to be gentle with it when cutting out my art. And I have had zero issues with it. Don't toss it around, don't smash it down or put crazy thick paper in it. It gets the job done for the price!

The product is good quality. And a good size too.

I'm loving this snappy little device so far. It does exactly what it says -- punches holes. Edges are smooth, as it makes nice clean cuts. Surprise! The shippers added some random smiley face stickers in the box too. Unexpected, unnecessary, but not unwelcome :)

Exactly what I ordered! Happy with this product.

Punches 1 inch holes in paper very well

works fine
