Which one do you use and do you recommend it?
I love my EK Tools 1 inch punch but the 2 or even 2.5 inch punches have terrible reviews on Amazon. And none of the others have hardly any other reviews.

I got mine at Michaels - Recollections brand I think.
Overall it's been okay. It's jammed a couple of times but DH was able to fix it.

I have several 2 inch punches and this one is my favorite. It punches quickly and doesn't stick like the push down punches sometimes do. |

I have the 2.5" from EK Tools (purchased on Amazon) and the 2" and 2.25" from Stampin' Up. They all work fine for me. EK Tools manufactures the punches sold by Stampin' Up.

I have the 2" and 2.5" EK ones and they seem OK to me (but I haven't used them a huge amount or have much to compare to). I like that the punches are compact and easy to store. I have a smaller (1.5"?) Fiskars one with the bunny ear kind of handles and it's harder to store and doesn't seem to work better.

i have several circle punches i bought at hobby lobby in varying sizes. i have punched cardstock, patterned paper, paper with mixed media on it (so warped and also thicker in some spots), photos, project life cards, you name it. i've never had a bit of trouble with them. i bought them all when the paper studio brand was 50% off.
i have 2 large marvy punches that are hard as hell to punch, no matter what i'm punching. i literally put them on the floor and stand on them! so i would say steer clear of those lol!

I’ve had the 2” circle from eK and Stampin’ Up! for a long time—five years at least. I use circles quite often and have never had a problem with either one of them. (They are likely made by the same manufacturer.) I don’t buy offbrand punches. eBay usually has a good selection of all kinds of punches. |

I've had my EK circle punches in all sizes for years with no problems.

The best way I have found to cut circles is with a compass with a knife blade.
