Metal Silver Hand-held 2/5 inch 10mm Round Heavy Duty Single Circle Hole Punch for ID Cards PVC Cards Badge Photos

This is the best hole puncher I ever owned. The design is superior in terms of weight, balance and ease of use. Punches through paper and card stock like butter. Great value for the money if you need precision and quality in your art and craft projects. Highly recommended.

This is a heavy duty punch. There is a slot on the side you can use to eyeball the location from the edge. It will easily punch thru a stack of paper 1/8" thick. With more force it punched a hole thru 1/16" thick acetal, which is a moderately hard plastic. So it works ok on plastic and I'd say 1/16" thick is about the maximum, but don't know how long it will stand up on 1/16" material. I didn't try on fabric but my guess is you will get very mixed results. Get an anvil type punch for fabric. It is metric punch so the hole size is 6mm(.236") not 1/4"(.250"). It will punch a maximum of 25mm(.984") from the edge of the paper. If you MUST have a 1/4" hole this is not the punch for you. If you just need to punch for a binder then this will work great!

I figured the quality of this hole punch would match the price. It was my last option after trying several other similar hole punches that didn't have a wide enough mouth. To my surprise, this thing has a good weight to it, doesn't bend or flex at all, has a wide and deep mouth, has measurements marked on it too make it easier to punch the right depth, and to top it off, it cuts through things like butter. It punches clean holes through mason jar lids like nothing is there. The only thing I'd like is a catch for the punched disks. They just pop right out of the bottom with this one. But for the price, that's easy to forgive. I can just punch holes over a trash can.

I have loads of hole punches from 1.1 mm to 3+ inches. The smaller ones are usually my favorite. What I love about this punch is the ease with which it bites into the heavier materials I typically use (card stock, watercolor paper, even plastics). Some punches take so much force that after a few punches, you hand will get tired -- Not this bad boy. Also, I like the hole size -- 10mm, larger than the common 1/4" punch everyone has on hand. I find the larger size perfect to use on the jewelry cards I punch for displaying certain jewelry pieces. I hope to find other punches in this line. Highly recommend this punch. I love this punch so much that I also bought the 8mm size punch -- with the same awesome result. Love them both.

Very nice unit. I have only used a few times and it works as advertised. It make nice little stars that are crisp and easy to see. I only wish they were a bit bigger, maybe 3/16- but this is no fault of the product- as it seems most are only 1/4 inch. Still-overall very nice indeed.

This is a very high quality and durable hole punch. I use it for punching holes in mason jar lids for creating mushroom grain spawn. It's perfect.

Purchased this after I bought some of the plastic letter & number tiles to identify how to put quilt blocks & rows together. They have no pin-holes & I guess people use them with clips, but I wanted to be sure they wouldn't shift on me. Wasn't sure whether punching the holes would work, or if it would shatter the tiles. It worked wonderfully, and this is a nice sized punch. Figuring out the placement of the holes was a little complicated, so my holes don't all look like they were manufactured that way, but they work for me. Tried a couple of other punches for the same purpose, and they created bulges in the plastic in addition to the hole. This punch made a nice, clean hole with no "extras". Just what I needed.

Bought 2 pair to use on items I sell at my store where the hole on the hanging packaged item is often not punched at all, or all the way through or not lined up properly w the punched hole. I am only using it to punch thru slightly thicker than index width paper with cellophane on top and sometimes a thicker plastic bag. This thing looks sturdy, feels great in your hand, BUT. The spring popped out on both within weeks & this was not with daily use. I re-assembled it and put the spring back but it continued to pop out. I was left disappointed & frustrated w a sore hand! Now I'm off in search of yet another sturdy hole punch.
