EK Tools Circle Punch 1 Inch With Safety Lock, Create Perfect Circles for Handmade Cards, Scrapbooking, Gift Tags, Invitations, and Decoration

I’m a huge fan of EK Tools, so adding the 1-inch circle punch to my collection was a no-brainer. It works like a charm, just like all their punches. Clean cuts, easy to use, and the safety lock is a nice touch. If you’re building your punch collection, this is a must-have!

Works great for punching 1in circles. Super easy to use with paper. I also used it on foam board, it works but it's a lot tougher to punch through and sometimes the edges need to be cleaned up a little. Overall super happy with this one.

The media could not be loaded. Easy to Use: The 1" circle cutter is so easy to use. A child could easily use this tool. Anyone with limited grip strength could probably use it (I'm thinking of my grandmother with arthritis in her thumb). It's actually fun to use. My paper was 16pt thick, and it had no problem cutting it.Quality Cuts: The cuts it makes are crisp. I bought it to cut circles in postcards to convert them to door hangers. (I wanted the hole, not the circle of paper.) It made the job so easy.Well built: The item feels very sturdy. I love how compact it gets and how little storage space it takes up. I expect to get years (decades) of occasional use out of this tool.

Wow! I was truly amazed. I have arthritis in my hands, I was diagnosed in my 30's and they have just gotten steadily worse. I used to scrapbook and using those other, oval shaped punches were difficult. I had a couple of punches from some scrapbooking party sales, and they were better made; I am still using them. I was skeptical.if this hole.punch, but it is so easy to compress. I did not fight with holding ut and pressing at the same time!! Then I got excited, wasn't paying attention and pinched the skin under my thumb. That hurt! So watch what you do, but it is so much easier to use and my punches were all cleanly cut! I did not have to go back and carefully fi ish uCutting them off. And I use aluminum foil to sharpen all of my punches and cutters. That is an old crafter's hack!

I’ve recently started purchasing EK brand paper punches for my paper-crafting hobbies and thrilled with the quality.These punches work so well - they punch cleanly and easily unlike other similar priced punches (which do NOT punch well at least half the time).Additionally, the locking mechanism allows you to store them much more easily as opposed to the “odd” shape punches (with “handles” on the top) and they take probably half the space of other punches.I’m looking forwards to expanding my collection and slowly getting rid of the inferior “handle” type punches.

I've gotten this three times since it does wear out, but more slowly than other brands so I can't complain.

At first thought it was no good wouldn't work at all and ruin the paper. Just need to punch hard and punch quick and it works good.

Lock feature, easy to use. great for those small circles
