Try these punches for scrapbooks, greeting cards, to make confetti, and all paper crafts. Use them at home, school or the office. Choose from shapes like the usual circles in various sizes, flowers, heart, butterfly, dog bone, maple leaf, music note and much more (each sold separately) with many of them available in a variety of sizes. Each shape features its own color handle for quick and easy identification. Punches measure approximately 5x3x5/8in. Imported.

I also use this punch to make quilting templates, punching holes where the seams must start and end. In Sally Collins' book and video, "Mastering Precision Piecing," she details how to make precision templates for quilting, and she recommended a punch. This punch cuts clear, crisp holes.
The hole is large enough to mark fabrics very precisely. It's not about speed--just sew the quilt pieces together and be done with it. It's about precision and having precise joinings. I tend to be a perfectionist and take great care and time to ensure my workmanship is top notch. That said, I do love this punch.

I found another use for this hand punch, one that even surprised me. My husband is filling sandbags to make an enclosure for our animals, stacking sandbags brick-style and sandwiching barbed wire between the layers to stabilize the construction.
He was not satisfied with simply using a tie to secure the bags, he wanted them sewn across. I tried hand sewing using a hand awl, but that was tedious and took a lot of time. Next, I tried upholstery thread with a stout harpoon-type leather needle. But that was really hard on arthritic joints.
So, I punched holes in the folded sandbag top and strung individual strands of Cat-5 wire, as thread, through the sandbags. (Up to eyeballs with Cat-5 reels of wire...) This made the job fast and easy, and the sandbags are very secured. This punch made holes through six layers of sandbag material. Impressive.
I had to buy another punch because my dear hubby wanted that one for his sandbags.
This is an excellent, easy-to-squeeze punch that is very versatile. You won't be disappointed.
A week or so ago I saw a much better-looking 1/8-inch punch that gets even better (although lots fewer) reviews than this one does, at around twice the price (but still under $10), so I ordered one. It's the EK Tools Heavy Duty Punch, 1/8-Inch Circle . It has hefty, beautifully designed and manufactured painted cast-aluminum handles. It looks and feels like a much better tool than this one, but it cannot punch a clean hole in anything.
The handles are great but the punch is sloppy, with far too much clearance between the punch and its mating hole, so some of the material you're trying to punch (even thin paper) gets pinched between them rather than cut. I returned the first pair, but the replacement was just as bad, so I gave up on it and came back to this one, which looks and feels cheap but does its job perfectly.
(I noticed that Martha Stewart is selling that EK Tools punch under her own brand name at a 50% higher price, which proves again that she's into looks more than performance--but into making a buck more than anything.)
If you have been looking for a standard round circle ⭕️ punch this is it. This would be your regular notebook hole punch.
This size is so hard to find in store and no one online labels it’s as standard size.
The Rubber grip is perfect for projects that will require multiple punches
What is confusing here on Amazon is that they sell the standard metal version labeled as 1/16th I ordered that one and the hole punch was tiny.
I ordered the 1/4th and this is the correct one if your looking for a standard punch .
Please see post it sample the punches are perfect just don’t push the puncher all the way to the end or it makes small indents to paper. I’m thinking this may be a defect. I will order another punch and update. I own many fiskars hole punch makers and none of them does the small indents. It’s bothering me so I must order another.
