EK Success 1.5 Inch Circle Punch, Light Grey, 1.5-Inch

Good quality item. Very sturdy. Nice clean cut with sharp edges.

A lot of reviews on here saying it doesn't cut, it makes imperfect circles, and so on. I've owned one of these for over a year, using it daily to cut inch squares on a multitude of papers. I invested in the inch circle as needs expanded. Let me be clear - I work in print. I use a LOT of papers ranging from coated stocks to rough recycled test paper. If ever there was an end-user to give one of these punches a proper thorough durability test, I more than qualify. The inch square cuts as good as it did on day one. The inch circle is cutting perfectly fine a week in used for hours a day. Firstly: The construction is SOLID. This is a better quality punch than any office ring binder hole punch you'd ever use. Solid plastics, solid metals. good strong spring. No crappy hinges or rivets. If you're the sort of individual that looks after your kit and doesn't just sling it in a box of things that will damage the die-cut underneath - you'll be owning an item that will serve you - as it has for me - a long time. The punch reaches a fair way into a page, as shown in my pictures. I've punched out papers ranging from as thin as tracing and crepe paper to thick watercolour card, and even thick clay-coated kraft packing card. The opening of the punch is about 1.2mm. It cuts at full depth. Obviously, it's not for cutting holes in tissue paper. Stacking papers for multiple cutting in-one can lead to inaccurate cuts, do them one at a time for best results. Cuts are clean enough - you can see standard paper cut in pictures. It's a hole punch, there is going to be slight burring of the edges. The bottom has no catchment tray - this is (I assume) so you can see where you are cutting if you use the punch in-hand. It is a fantastic item. Ignore the "can't open the box 1 star lolz" type reviews. Solidly recommended.

At first i couldn't see how to get the inner circle out of the cutter. There is a little plastic clip under the punch lever, pull this out and circle should fall out when you turn it upside down, you may have to help it out.. just as described, cuts well, good quality. Easy to use

Bought EK Success because their punches are strong, reliable and close flat when not in use. Mine has a couple of burrs on the cutting edge so it isn't great for cutting paper at the moment. However cutting a few wads of aluminium foil should solve that, and if not, some sheets of fine grade sandpaper should do the trick. Cutting card is no problem and it is easy to turn the punch over for accurate placing of the circle.

What a great little punch this is. I got it after watching a YouTube on covering Graphic45 tags and this was shown as how to cut the area around the grommet. It's very sharp and works a treat. A definite 5 star recommendation. I've read the poor reviews and would comment that this is a PAPER cutter for crafting, such as card making and scrap booking, it's not up to cutting thicker items such as foam or vinyl and is too big for ring binders. If you are wanting to punch anything other than paper or cardstock, this is not for you.

these punches are brilliant

works well - locks when not in use - strong and solid item if i want a circle with a border and image inside i print 1.3cm as if i print 1.2cm i have a white edge when cutting out - makes a little difference for certain designs - but if just cutting out patterned paper circles ect not a problem - used to 280gsm photo matt paper so far - good item - cuts well xt

Excellent quality as usual and used on multiple occasions

Sturdy. Easy to use. Crisp cuts. Does not stick. Very impressed with product and performance. Definitely recommend!!

The pricing is way too expensive. If your not n a hurry, go to Ali express and get it. It won’t even be half the price. It works well. But the first one I got was bent and I couldn’t use it, so I returned it and got a replacement.

They gave what the promised. Don't give second thought, just go for it. You won't regret it.

I am so impressed with this EK Tools 1/2" Circle Punch! It punches perfectly clean, crisp circles with absolutely no tearing or fraying, even on thicker cardstock. The cuts are smooth and precise every single time. I love how compact and sturdy it feels — small enough to store easily, but solid and well-made. The safety lock feature is a great bonus for storage and keeps everything neat in my craft drawer. The 1/2" size is ideal for so many projects — handmade cards, tags, scrapbooking, embellishments, layering pieces, and tiny details. It gives professional-looking results with zero hassle. Shipping was fast, and the item arrived in perfect condition. Great delivery time and an awesome seller — smooth transaction from start to finish. If you're into paper crafting, this is one of those small tools that makes a big difference. Highly recommend!
