EK Tools Circle Punch 1.75 Inch with Safety Lock, Create Perfect Circles for Handmade Cards, Scrapbooking, Gift Tags, Invitations, Decorations, and More

This is exactly what I was looking for, works amazingly well and is easy to operate one-handed. The cutouts are the perfect size for the 32mm button blanks, and the entire process just got so much quicker and easier.

I purchased this to replace a punch that my wife uses to cut out labels for her candle/wax business. She had been using a Fiskars Lever Punch, X-Large, Circle for about a year, but the internal plastic broke. The Fiskars punch never worked perfectly, but it did the job, although the die didn't extrude far past the base when cutting. This is NOT a problem with the EK punch. This unit is absolutely perfect.The Fiskars unit claims to be a 2" punch, but punches 1 3/4" circles. This is exactly what my wife needed, so it was fine. I was concerned when ordering the EK, as the Fiskars punch didn't cut the size it said, so I didn't want her to have to return it. No worries... the EK is exactly as stated in the description. In addition to having the exact cutting measurement that is listed, it works amazingly well and cuts extremely easily. Every punch is perfect.I wish I had known about this punch when I bought my wife her first punch, as this one would still be going strong without question, as it is built like a tank!Bottom line: HIGHLY recommended5/5

Love this punch- super sharp and heavy duty. Best part is you can use it upside down so you can center if you are cutting out an image. Would order again but this thing will last forever.

1.75” circle punch. Easy to cut precisely. Does not hurt your hand to punch.

I looked high and low for a circle punch that cut 1.75 inch circles for a project I am working on. Lots of 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 inch, but few 1.75 inches. After finding this one on Amazon and reading the great reviews, I decided to give this one a try. I'm glad I did. I cut mostly card stock, and this punch has no trouble cutting through even thicker paper. Plus, there is a view finder on the bottom so you can see what you are cutting (which is very helpful to me since the circles I needed to cut are marked and I need to cut them in precisely the right place). I also like that it locks when I'm not using it (keeps it a little flatter and makes it easier to store). All things considered I'm very happy with this item, and knowing what I know now I'd buy it again without hesitation.8/12/14 update... Downgraded from 5 to 4 stars because it is already having trouble cutting through thinner paper. Still works fine on card stock or if I double up a regular sheet of paper, but the cut is not nearly as clean on a single sheet of regular paper (always requires a bit of trimming after).

This punch makes punching circles easy and fun. I love it and would like to have a set to getter done quicker than with my dies. Love love love it for my card making. Made from good quality material.

I like making cupcake toppers for my friends and family. And these are perfect!!! It’s so freaking awesome. Personally, I use it upside down so I can see exactly what I’m cutting. I use this for the image, and I have a 2” dia. one that use for a slightly bigger circle that goes behind and they look amazing! Seriously love it! Punch quality is perfect! And it’s inexpensive! You’ll need this and wonder how you made projects before this!

I used the 1.75-inch circle punch to cut out game pieces printed on 65 lb. card stock. It worked like a charm! Very simple to flip it upside down and center the image within the punch area. Nice, clean cutting action. I was able to punch out 120 game pieces in just a few minutes. Such a timesaver!
