EK tools Mini Corner Rounders Punch Set

These corner rounders work perfectly for scrapbooking and pocket letters. Each pocket letter segment is 2.5 x 3.5 inches (the size of a baseball card); the smaller punch works perfectly on this size paper. The punches are nice and sharp and they don't gum up the paper like lesser punches can. I also love how they lock closed and are stackable, a perfect storage solution. Rounding the corners of your projects makes the final product look much more finished.

I got this specifically for the small snowflake punch. I use it both for my holiday/winter cards, but I also use it for my spring/summer cards.It works great as the center for a punched flower. I punch a small (1/2"-5/8" diameter) flower in one color, then punch a snowflake in another color. I use an embossing tool  3 Pc Embossing Stylus Tool Set- Scrapbooking, Stampin  to shape the flower petals a bit, and then layer the snowflake on top of the flower, and attach with a small brad. I use this flower punch:  Ek Success Paper Shapers Small Punch, Flower Power The holly also works nicely punched from pearlescent paper  Wausau Paper Astrobrights Glisten Pearlescent Cardstock 6 Color Assortment - 8.5 x 11 in  and layered onto the border of a sentiment or focal.The punches are well made, and punch easily. Nice set for the price.

I personally really like these. When I test out the punches I get, I test them on several different types of paper because I never know what I'm going to be using them on. Both of these did well on the types of paper that I would use on a regular basis which are like a thick cardstock. The snowflake even did well on construction paper while the Holly had a little issue with the three dots on the construction paper. It took a little shaking to get all of them out but they still had a nice cut. Construction paper tends to stick to the punches anyway, so it was great that it has such a clean look and I didn't have to figure out a way to get the paper out.I can (and have) used these for Christmas cards, kids projects, and scrapbooking. They are definitely some of my favorites for the Christmas season. I think the size is perfect for my projects, too. I paid around $8 for this set on Amazon but I have never seen these at any of my local stores so I am not sure if that was a decent price. It's definitely worth it if you don't want to try and find a snowflake or holly punch all over town, though! I searched all the stores for something this size and they either couldn't keep them stocked or they didn't sell them. So, I think these are worth getting for people who work with paper crafts during the holiday season!

For the price I was happy with my purchase. I didn't purchase these to punch cardstock but to round the corners on a heat laminated sheet of paper (I think this was 20 weight) cut into smaller cards. I saw some reviewers had problems with thicker cardstock but remember these are mini punches so I doubt these were designed to punch cardstock. I don't plan to make that many of the laminated cards so I didn't want to spend a lot on a punch. I just wanted to round the corners because after laminating and cutting the sheet apart the card corners were pokey. I have only used the 1/2 punch so far but plan to try out the larger 1 inch punch on a photograph. If I have any problems I will update this review. The only issue I had was really my fault. When I cut the laminated sheet apart I didn't make them perfectly square so there was a dibble on one edge near the corner. I straightened it with a scissors. Just wanted to let purchasers know they should have the paper perfectly square and to line the paper/corners in the punch perfectly as well or you will get a dibble but I think this is true of any corner style punch. Overall I can't complain as this is a whole lot better than trying to do this by hand and it worked for my purposes. The mini size would be perfect for crafters on the go or for light office use and the price was relatively inexpensive at around $7 at the writing of this review. I would recommend these punches to others.

Doesn't make a sharp cut through the paper, leaves the corner pieces dangling. You have to flip the paper and punch again from the opposite side to try to get the dangling piece off. When it does come off, it doesn't always align with the side of the sheet, leaving irregular indentations on the paper. I tried with one sheet of paper only and with multiple sheets, and the poorest performance was with only one sheet of paper. The picture that shows papers with the most uncut corners were from single sheets; the one with the most cuts were made using a stack of sheets and flipping the stack over to punch on the reverse side and the one in between shows a stack of sheets punched once or twice on the same corner. Another downside is that the puncher doesn't have a catch tray, so the little cut pieces go all over your desk or floor; you have to do this over a garbage can or clean up afterwards. Having had another brand of corner clipper for years, I decided to try this for a wider 1 inch rounded corner. Not worth it. I'll stick with the narrower diameter. This one is going in the garbage can.

Perfekt

Easy to use and neat

Pros: They're very satisfying to use. Both of them work like they're supposed to, and cut easily on regular paper. They can cut through over 5 pages of regular printer paper at once. However, cutting multiple bristle boards is pretty hard on the handle, therefore I recommend cutting one at a time.Cons: My only problem is that one them has been given too much lubricant/oil on the hinge that sit on top of the corners. So if I try to cut multiple pages at one, the topmost page gets stained by the residue from the hinge. (Easier to see on picture.) But this can be remedied, if I pack less paper everytime I cut, which really isnt that big of a deal.

Ottimo prodotto, già acquistato precedentemente. Molto scontenta della comunicazione con il venditore che quando chiedevo il numero di tracking mi mamdava un mrssaggio generale di default

Me gusta mucho esta marca porque son de muy buena calidad muy resistentes al perforar con hojas hasta de gramaje alto 225grms sin ningun problema aunque sean pequñas como esta que además es muy bonita y me sirvio perfecto para mi proyecto la recomiendo ampliamente
