Mini Punch - Circle 8mm

This punch is the real deal! Easily line up your design and press hard. Nice clean crisp cut. I'm cutting nail foil and letter paper together to avoid the crimp on a super thin piece of nail foil. Works great. Ordered the 8mm wish they had a 10 mm round punch! Highly recommend!

Great 12mm hole punch! I couldn’t find one anywhere else. It does require some force- i have to stand up and push down with the palm of my hand (after lining up the photo upside down). Would definitely buy again. This is sooooooo much better than cutting the image out after gluing the glass on if that’s what you’re using it for. That only causes the photo to break free from the edge of the glass. Using this hole punch first creates a much cleaner image!!

I had bought the 12mm version despite all the reviews that it was difficult to punch. I got it and I was sitting there punching through photo cards and the like with ease. When I decided I needed a 16mm version of the bracelet bezels I was making, I didn’t hesitate to order this one.I was sitting there, picture all lined up in the punch, and pressed down. It barely even made an imprint. I wouldn’t consider my hands weak, but boy I felt like they were. I got it to punch the first one by using a metal block (I use it for metal stamping) as support. Later when I was confident enough, I was able to do it by hand with great difficulty still. I’m able to do it one handed on printer paper and a random (pretty thin) index card I found, but if you wanna punch anything thicker, you’re gonna need patience and a system.Otherwise, It’s the perfect size and does it’s job with a good cut.

Very pretty and sharp! I cut through multiple layers of paper and they all come out crisp.

This punch has been working very well for me. It does take considerable force to operate, at least for cutting plastic-laminated cardstock (as I'm doing). I don't think my wife would have the strength. But for my purpose, it's been absolutely great. (In part, the diameter dimension seems to be very precisely 40 mm, which I need.) I'm not sure why so many bad reviews. Perhaps people are misapplying the considerable needed. Anyway, I say 5 stars!

I had 0 issues punching through hq glossy photo paper with this. And to see where I was punching I just flipped it upside down with the desired punch area facing towards me. I find it easiest to place two thumbs on each side of the bottom and use 2 fingers on the punch button to press the punch blade through. Very easy to line up exactly. The punch size is 12 mm which was perfect for my print outs!Thanks.

I wrongly thought all punches were basically the same. This tool is worthless. I bought it because it was the size I needed and just a few pennies less than other brands. I so deeply regret it! The tool can only be used against a hard solid surface such as a table since even though I have very strong hands, I cannot get the punch to work without leveraging my body weight on the punch against the button on the table. If there is any give or flexibility to the surface, it won't work. Keep in mind that to place the punch you have to center it around your image. However the act of punching causes a shift in the paper so most of the punches are useless. I have never experienced such a poor paper punch as this and never imagined anyone could create a punch so poor as this one. I previously thought all punches were alike and never have experienced these kinds of problems. Heck, they cut paper! How hard should this have to be??? Skip this item. It is fatally full of design defects that make it a bad purchase. Spend a few pennies more and you'll end up with a much greater bargain. Thjis producty a waste!

This 12mm punch is a sturdy, easy to use tool that every crafter should own. I liked this punch so much that after I got the one I use, I ordered two more to give as gifts.

The item its self is well made! However, the item will only cut through thin card card and paper. Cutting through a pizza box thickness is hard work if not nearly impossible. Having said this its good for thinner item such as paper and very thin card, even if it does make your thumb sore after a while!

This little punch has had bad reviews but I don't know why. It is well-made and cuts accurately every time. I am only using it for paper 120 gsm so cannot say how it would cut heavier materials. No uncut edges or distortion. It is not difficult to use or press. I need accurate circles and that's what I get with this little gem. The price is good too.

Arrived quickly, perfect for what I want to use it for. Very strong
