Fiskars Round n' Round Punch - XL Squeeze Cutter for Paper - Arts, Crafts, and Scrapbooking Supplies - 2" Circle

I was leery about ordering this one but I am glad I did. I like the fact that it actually cuts. The cuts are precise without leaving trails of paper hanging. Don’t waste your money on the circle one, it did not cut This cuts a scalloped circle. It is perfect for my needs. Right now I use it for scrapbooking, but I have future plans for it. I have searched the Internet and the price on Amazon was a good price. I am enjoying this squeeze punch.

Reliable fiskars paper punch. Nice heart shape. Be careful what paper you punch..some thinner papers do not punch well

This review is for the Extra Large Circle Punch.I'm extremely disappointed in this product. I tried to use it cut out 2" circles from regular printer paper and it totally failed. First, you have to line it up so you only have about 1/8 of paper at the bottom of the punch (I found this annoying as I was trying to cut our a bunch of pictures printed on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper).But the main reason I found this product to be terrible is that it did not cleanly cut out a 2" circle. It cut out the top of the circle ok (not perfectly cleanly), and then the bottom of the circle was torn-looking.This is not a case of operator error, as there is one way to squeeze it. The paper was cut out, just not well. I had to use a scissors to cut out the circle the rest of the way.There is a chance my product was defective, as I have other Fiskars punches that are fine, but I suspect that this is too big of a circle for a squeeze punch and that it is just a poorly designed or executed product.I'm returning it and advising you, gentle reader, to avoid this product.

Couldn't find these at Michael's so I had to go on Amazon. They're great! Really easy and smooth to use. We were even able to put multiple card stock in the scissor and cut several hearts at once. I used them to cut a bunch of hearts out of cardstock that I put on bbq skewers and lined my wedding aisle with. Great for heavier stiffer cardstock, I believe I used 80 lb. cardstock which was perfect, but I don't think it would work as well on soft paper like construction paper or harder stuff like cardboard. I feel the paper would just fold under the pressure of the scissor and the cardboard would be too hard for the scissor to penetrate. Also, it's easier and more efficient if you pre-cut your cardstock into strips that are about the height of the heart scissors so you can just go along each strip and cut the hearts. Then you're not having to deal with and maneuver a full size cardstock.

I've used it before reviewing and they work great producing well defined shapes. They work best on light to medium weight cardstock. The ergonomic design makes the cutting easier; much better than others. It is of very good quality and a good investment. However, keep in mind storage space depending on the sizes if thinking of collecting.

I love these Fiskars punches. Really easy to position and good for heavy duty punching in an ergonomic way.When I received the product the blades of the punch were stuck on each other and wouldn't move but I was able to file down the metal part that was causing the problem and that fixed it.

This 2" whole punch works perfect for my 2" tags. I'm able to line it up and a little squeeze with the handles holds it in place, then once you squeeze all the way its a quick punch. It's is a little heavy but it's easy to handle. Love it! I don't use it everyday day, only for holidays/birthdays etc. on my cookie boxes.

I've never had any type of punch like this before so I can't compare it to other brands...but, the biggest drawback to me is it's very difficult to center what you want to cut out. This is sort of hard to explain, but obviously the handles are at the bottom so the paper can't be inserted very far into the cutting area - basically if you're trying to cut out a picture or words you need to figure out where the bottom of your circle needs to be and then pre-trim the paper to that length, then insert it into the cutter. If you just want to cut plain circles of paper that won't be an issue but I was wanting to cut out paper cupcake toppers that had words on them. Also, I was just cutting one piece of cardstock at a time and some of the edges came out somewhat frayed, not a clean cut all the way around.I don't dislike this enough to buy something different, but if I ever need another shape or style I will definitely try another brand.
