Customer Reviews:
Love This Brand! Great Circle Punch.
I REALLY Like it when the seller includes the actual DIMENSIONS of the punch they are selling! I'm amazed how many punch listings don't give these details! I mean, geeze, take a piece of scrap paper, punch out a circle and measure it for us please! Is it just me, or is this exasperating? Mega, Giga, Medium? What the heck. That means nothing to me and I really shouldn't have to do that much research to make the purchase of a circle punch. So whatever seller I bought this punch from, thank you for providing the useful details I needed to make my decision.

Okay ... end of rant. Anyway, I do love these punches from EK Success. They are the best punches out there, if you ask me. They make nice sharp cuts and never jam up. Some of the other brands are so difficult to squeeze that it's impossible to flip it over to see which part of the paper is being framed. Those McGill punches are the absolute worst. The only way to depress even a small McGill punch is to get leverage on a tabletop and use both hands to get it to cut through. Awful. Fiskars and Marvy Uchida are okay. But not nearly as finely tuned as the EK Success Punches. They have a nice sturdy weight to them, the lever works like it should, the sizes are true. And they don't look like a toy on your desk!

This 1 1/8 size is great. It's amazing how often a 1" is too small, and 1 1/4 is just way too big. It seems kinda crazy to have this many circle punches, but I truly use them almost daily! (And I'm not even a scrapbooker!)

I think 1.125 is the measurement for a 1 1/8 circle. Just in case you are trying to compare apples to apples. Also, I thought I'd mention that these ek punches seem to go by several different names: ek success nesting punches, ek paper shapers, ek whale of a punch. As far as I can tell, they all are the same product and seem to work with eachother and look good together. There is also one of those rubber stamp companies that carries this line of punches with their own exclusive designs. They are equally as nice. I think these punches are really wonderful quality and would always choose this brand if I have the option.
