MROCO Single Hole Punch, 1/4" Hole Puncher, 20 Sheet Punch Capacity, Handheld with Non-Skid Base for Paper Chipboard Craft Paper and Art Project, Blue

Bought 6 years ago to punch our cruise ship room keycards to use with lanyards without the need for a plastic sleeve. Have used many times and recommend to others. Now that most cruise ships use RFID keycards, they won’t punch them for you anymore because they don’t want to hit antenna. But using your phone flashlight, you can easily see where the antenna wire is inside the card to avoid it. With this punch, you can pop off the cover and see where the hole will be made, so if you mark the antenna, it is easy to avoid. Works perfectly for this application and the punch is small and takes little room in your bag.

The media could not be loaded. I needed this originally to be able to go through 5 to 6 layers of cardstock. I was amazed it went through 5 layers of cardstock that is glued together smoothly, like butter. So I tried a popsicle stick out of curiosity and it had a little resistance but cut through cleanly. The compact size fits in the palm of your hand making it easy to hold materials in one hand and hole punch with the other. And the handle can lock in the down position making it super compact. For size comparison I have included a picture of my old single hole punch that couldn't even cut through 2 sheets of cardstock. I'm already super excited to make more 3D / multi-layer cardstock Christmas ornaments. Thank you for an amazing product, and fast shipping.

I purchased this after becoming frustrated with my standard, run-of-the-mill hole-punch which kept catching after punching the hole and was hurting my hand. This one meets all my expectations: The construction appears to be of cast metal and it is very sturdy; it is small enough to fit in my hand and is curved nicely, therefore causing me no discomfort. It cuts the hole smoothly and effortlessly without catching. I was able to cut holes in four cardstock items at a time, and possibly could have done more but did not try. I like that it has a removable cover so that you can catch the holes, but that the cover can be removed so that, if you use the puncher upside down you can see exactly where you are placing the hole. I needed to punch holes in specific spots, so I did it this way. One way to improve the product would be to make the removable cover clear plastic so that we could leave it on and still see where the hole is being punched. That way we can also catch the punches if we are using it upside down like that. Either way, it's a great product and I highly recommend it to anyone who uses a single hole punch for anything.

After struggling with trying to punch through several thick layers of cardstock with my regular hole punch, I thought I'd try this. And boy am I happy with this. It's so effortless. It's saved me from painful hand cramps.

I was making a significant number of gift tags. Since I already have sensitivity in the base of my thumbs, I didn't want to have to use a tradition squeeze punch. This single hole punch is great for what I needed. Pros: easy to use, lightweight, punches easily. The only con I see is that it's hard to tell where the hole will be punched if you're looking at it head on, but once I figured out that the hole is basically aligned with the lock bar, it was easy from there. Happy with my purchase. Would recommend.

It is an excellent single hole punch. The hole is very sharp. It is easy to use. You can carry it too withoutmuch added weight. From what I can tell, it will last a long time. The punch works as described. A goodjob my MROCO. I would add a small "dot" on the front to help aline where the hole is punched. (I tell MROCO soon as I get their email.) So, if you need a one hole punch, you need not look any further.

i like this, but found that it works better when cutting through ziploc bags (which is what I needed it for) if you do several bags at a time.
