Perfect for making circles

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024

Size: 1/4 inVerified Purchase

I use this for cutting circles from wool felt for my Sue Spargo appliqué projects. Currently making Tinsel block of the month. Easy to use, I have a block of wood with a small piece of flam flooring on it, then I place the wool and use a hammer with this tool to cut the circles. Take about 3-5 hammer hits for a nice clean cut.

Yep, it's a one inch punch. Feels sturdy and arrived sharp. I anticipate I may have to sharpen again after some use, but that the nature of a punch you mash into other materials. I use on some plasticized abalone sheeting for a craft use, to get perfect 1 inch rounds. It does the job. I cannot yet speak to durability.

Theres a right and wrong way to use these

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2021

Size: 1 inVerified Purchase

First of all the likes:
-Nice price
-Strong enough metal
-Bladed circle on mine was perfect from the company
-Nice size

Now the dislikes:
-Welding job left much to be desired
-It was not packaged well so the delivery guy dropped it over the fence and it landed on the blade dinging it
-The inside of the blade was not machined so it took away from the sharpness

Problems and solutions from past ratings:
1. The ratings showing the tool smashed in or busted made me truly wonder about the credibility of this product. However, knowing the welding wasnt ideal I opted for a one pound rubber mallet tool and used a 2x4 piece of wood cut in two short pieces then an art cutting pad on top. I was able to cut the kind of black foam thats closer to a wet suit and about 6 mm thick with ease and one center tap to dig in, 4 taps slightly angled in the four directions followed by one centered to finish and was able to cut 40 in 7.5 minutes. **Notice: I used a Dremel sanding stone to file the inside to make it clean and sharper. The trick is to stabilize the Dremel hand by putting the forearm on a table or something and keeping stiff a the correct angle pointing down the center of the cutting hole and do the same with your left holding this tool and go in a circle spinning the blade as it gently is bushed by the sander like youre sweeping the surface away because its easy to grind at second out of two setting on the basic Dremel. Dont let the Dremel take any of the perfect blade circle out. ***WEAR SAFETY GLASSES so you can look closely and not have sparks or metal shot in your eye. If this gets enough upvotes Ill add pictures.

Conclusion:
With the right use and possibly cleaning up this thing is great and I am very happy I ordered it and may even get another one as backup for my clumsy tendencies (I may drop it on my garage floor and ruin the blade or something)

DULL. Like unusably dull.

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

Size: 1-1/4"Verified Purchase

When I buy a punch I expect to be able to use it straight out of the box. This is unusable. Unfortunately, I failed to test this before my return window expired so I will have to try to find someone that can sharpen it or it will be tossed in the trash.
