Give it a 1-2 punch!
By Happee Hollee
This nifty hole puncher surely gets the occupation done at our house and childcare! I use it often to hang up the kids’ art (punches construction paper effortlessly), invent lacing projects for them (through thick, 5-7mm lamination), and let the kids punch holes in paper. If it’s kept up to my continuous use AND that of the kids, you know it’s durable. The grips are comfy (and have never fallen off), it punches through a few pieces of paper smoothly, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that it catches the punches rather of dropping them all over my floor (I then save those for the kids to use wherever their artisitc ability to create takes them). The puncher doesn’t get stuck like a great deal of others I have used. The price was ever-so-slightly higher than what I wanted to pay, but it’s ergonomic handles are infintely better than the basic metal punchers I’m applied to.

Meh…
By Vegan Girl
I use it to punch cardstock… worked outstanding for the initial few months of heavy use, then the cushioned handles fell off and now it doesn’t punch cleanly. It was the second one I’d bought. The basi one broke in half after in regards to 3 months. I’ll in all likelihood buy it again because I don’t see any better options, but I commend not duct taping the cushions when they inevitably fall off. What a mess that became!

By Maureen
This punch doesn’t have the reach my old one has, but the old one stuck and didn’t punch cleanly. This one punches without apparent effort and cleanly.
