crop-a-dile question Mar 6, 2015 21:03:27 GMT

Any reason I would need anything other than the .25" power punch crop-a-dile?

I'm only going to use it to punch holes in page protectors so I can use different brands in different albums. (If I ever do set an eyelet again, I'm happy to use a hammer. I like pounding on things).

All other hole punches I have tried have failed.

I posted before about punching the holes and the consensus was crop-a-dile. I have never used one before and hadn't really paid any attention to them at the store so would love some advice before I purchase online.

Thanks!

I have the crop-o-dile big bite, and I've used it to punch through the page protectors. You can't do too many at once just because they slip around and you want the hole in the correct spot. But the big bite can punch through leather, thin metal, etc.

You can use a coupon and get a pretty good deal. I love mine and have used it to punch holes in page protectors with no problem and I've even used it to punch a hole in a leather purse strap.

I buy plenty of stuff which never gets used or is only used infrequently. I have never regretted buying my C-A-D; I upgraded to the lockable one which is slightly smaller to pack for crops and so on and my original 'dile lives in my utility drawer. I say go for it.

I got it from JoAnn's during the sale. It was $7.99 and shipping was $1.99. I picked up a few things I've had in my cart for a while that were all on sale too. Can't wait!
