I know this is an older video but I’m so glad I found it. I have wanted a miracle corner chomper for more than a decade though previous versions were so big and bulky. The small hand held corner rounder could never succeed with the heavy card stock… I saw someone use this in video today and went on a hunt for more videos - long story short, found yours which so brilliantly explains all the ins and outs as well as problems that occur when used improperly. I raced to nearest Michaels and found one - A MILLION THANKS! It cut like butter through 4 layers of Neenah 110lb - seeing you cut the packaging the tool came in won me over. This is truly a game changer for me - and I had a 20% off coupon! This is a MUST HAVE TOOL in every craft room!
Thank you for this video. I just purchased all three crop-a-dile . The small eyelet punch, large eyelet punch, and the corner chomper. I have found that RUclips tortorial are far better than the instructions on the package. Your video had been a great help,
Thank you so much. I have also waited a long time for my chomper. No instructions. couldn't figure out how to use or open reservoir. I had no idea the flaps came down or how far. Now I feel confident using it but will practise some more.
1/21/2024 - I got a Crop a Dil and just could not figure out why it wasn't cutting. You saved me!! I hadn't opened the wings all the way! Thank you for your RUclips video. YAY! I'm in business now.😇
Maymay I'm so glad I found this video in your playlist! If not I would have given up and returned it! I'm practicing on my new corner chomper, thanks! 😊
Omg THANK YOU for this! My husband got my one of these and I have been trying to figure out how to use it once Mother’s Day 🤣😂 THANK YOU! I was sooo frustrated with this dang thing!
Thank you for the refresher. This helped me get perfect results today. I thought I’d received a faulty corner punch. 🤦🏻♀️ Turns out…it was just me going to fast.
Thanks, this one doesn't give me a problem, but would it be possible to have a video on how to use the Crop-A-Dile Hole Punch/Eyelet Setter. I never know what I'm doing with that one.
Hey Maymay GREAT Crop-a-Dile Punch Tool Tips, Tricks & Techniques share!! I use all of mine all the time and it's easy to rush it and not get the perfect chomp!!! SO THANKS!! YOU ROCK!! Joan Smith
MayMay, thank you for the tip making sure its open all of the way or I never would have figured it. I watched about six videos that did not warn us of that.
I just got the corner chomper, and no matter what I try, or how many videos I watch, I just don't get a pretty, rounded corner. I'm just going to return it. Still on the hunt for a heavy duty corner rounder!
Thank you so much for this video!! I just got my new Corner Chomper (first time user) and couldn't figure out how to use it. Now I not only know how to use it, but how to use it well. I had indeed only pulled out the flaps partway (among other things...). This was such a help!!
Oh Thank You!!! I was getting the knobby hangnails, was thinking I'd somehow ruined my corner rounder. I SO relieved to know it's operator error & I can fix that! :)
Thank you so much for this video, I just bought one and couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong cause the paper wouldn’t fit.. You must have heard me saying “Please show me how to use this darn contraption I’ve bought!” I have wanted this for so long and finally bought it and was so disheartened because I couldn’t get it to work.. I will try working with it again tomorrow when I can get a chance! Thank you again!
I was ready to send my chomper back when I saw your video I saw what I was doing incorrectly. Now, if I could just figure out how to empty it...Thanks so much!
Could you also show how you empty it. It took me a while to figure out how to open it and I’m still not sure there is a better way than slamming the side of it to knock out the bits and pieces. I’d love to see your technique. Thanks for any tips you might have.
Thanks for the info. I’m confused, does this piece of equipment do straight and rounded corners or do I need ti invest in a 2nd one to get the rounded corners?
It is true... if you punch aluminum foil with your punch(es), it 'sharpens' it/them. If you punch waxed paper, it 'lubricates' the punch and it will cut smoother. Usually you have to fold the foil and/or the waxed paper a couple of times to make it 'thick enough' for the punch to punch it properly (and not get stuck), but how many times you have to fold depends on the individual punch(es) and the type of foil (heavy duty or regular) and waxed paper you use. (Sorry about the foil phobia Maymay.)
Not sure I can explain this well, but I have very good luck when punching a not exactly square corner by lining up one side with the guide and punching then shifting to line up the other side of the guide and punch again.
oh man I wish I had not given mine away now but yes I made every single mistake you said not to make and was blaming the punch. No not me, never. lol guess I will buy another one now.
😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 Maymay, no one mentions how to EMPTY all those corners that your chomped snips. My chomped literally can hold what seems like HUNDREDS!!!!! I have to get a poky tool and dig them out. SERIOUSLY, is this the only way to get out those collected corners? Thanks😢
You have the best ability to explain things thank you
Maymay, you're Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you!! Bought one long ago but have never used it...this was very helpful!

Oh my goodness, I was having so much trouble making it work. The top was not open all the way! Thank you sooo much for this video!
Thank you for the tips!!! I almost took it back.

Maymay! The first 36 seconds of this video is worth its weight in gold! I was about to throw this thang AWAY! Thank you!
Just got my punch and didn’t know to open those wings so glad to see this video thank you
Thank you ! I was getting so frustrated 😵💫 Your video was the only one that really explained how to use the chopper !
I've been struggling with consistent proper corner and I am so grateful for these tips! thanks so much!

Thank you for your video! I recently ordered this tool I could not figure out to open the wings. This video and tips are extremely helpful!
Thank you so much for this info!!!!
Omg THANK YOU for this! My husband got my one of these and I have been trying to figure out how to use it once Mother’s Day 🤣😂 THANK YOU! I was sooo frustrated with this dang thing!
Nice video. I just came here because I'm trying to figure out where the little 'bits' go and how to get them out. But I appreciate the tips, thanks.
TFS. I just bought ne last week.
thank you sooo much for the clear instruction on how to use the crop-a-dile.
Thank you for the refresher. This helped me get perfect results today. I thought I’d received a faulty corner punch. 🤦🏻♀️ Turns out…it was just me going to fast.

I second that request! I’ve gotten it to sorta work but a tutorial from you would be grand! TFS!
Yes please, that would be very helpful.
Ditto that!
Yesssss please!
Yes Please MayMay❣️
Thank you, Maymay. I think you covered every mistake I have made with my corner chopper.
awesome video would love big bite tool tips
OMG...thanks so much... I've watched others but this was the best. TY

Thank you for sharing the reason why I got hang nails
Is it possible to get these sharpened?
I have these and love them. Why do you have white tape on one? Is it to distinguish the sizes?
Yip, I have learn, don't over press. Thank You Maymay.
Nice tips. I have issues with the eyelet setter and setting the sides to dimensions, any tips?
Could you also show how you empty it. It took me a while to figure out how to open it and I’m still not sure there is a better way than slamming the side of it to knock out the bits and pieces. I’d love to see your technique. Thanks for any tips you might have.
irene slobodin hi, to empty the punch just pop open the top center square area,where the blue picture is, and the pieces will fall out, thanks
Slamming does not sound good , plastic can crack and with not much force so be careful
How do you clean these out? Mines full of chads and I can’t pull them out ! Lol
How do you empty the cropodile please maymay?. 😘😘
You hearing about cutting aluminum foil is me seeing/hearing about cotton balls! I just got chills typing that rofl! Its my kryptonite!
Sorry can you explain the cotton ball thing? I'm confused
Thanks for the info. I’m confused, does this piece of equipment do straight and rounded corners or do I need ti invest in a 2nd one to get the rounded corners?

(Sorry about the foil phobia Maymay.)
Thank you for those tips. Can you tell me of an easy way to clean the choppers?
Robben Howard are you trying to remove some kind of adhesive? I just use a baby wipe and it seems to work well
I use cheap nail varnish remover for cleaning sticky stuff off scissors etc, or did you mean to empty the chomped?
No real instructions...bought one today and couldnt figure how to open it. Thank goodness for videos like this.
Thank you so munch
Not sure I can explain this well, but I have very good luck when punching a not exactly square corner by lining up one side with the guide and punching then shifting to line up the other side of the guide and punch again.
Thank you
I just recently purchased one of these and could not figure out what I was doing wrong**My punches looked sloppy**Thanks ever so much for the tip
Thank you.
Thank you:)
oh man I wish I had not given mine away now but yes I made every single mistake you said not to make and was blaming the punch. No not me, never. lol guess I will buy another one now.
anybody please how do you empty??
Aluminum Foil does work for all your punches. I have used many times. Just fold it 2-4 times over before punching, as this gives it more stability.
What do you do with the aluminum foil please?
😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
Maymay, no one mentions how to EMPTY all those corners that your chomped snips. My chomped literally can hold what seems like HUNDREDS!!!!!
I have to get a poky tool and dig them out. SERIOUSLY, is this the only way to get out those collected corners?
Thanks😢
How do you empty the waste bin
Hi to empty this tool...look at the top where you open the guides, you will lift up that top and shake out all the lil bits, thanks
I thought you and other guys were saying ‘crocodile’! 😁
Is blurrythe monster back, or is it my eyes?
Nancy Richter Fine here...no fuzziness at all on my iPad
Lol. Thinking about touching dry cotton balls makes my teeth hurt. I get you.
Thanks mine is just sitting in a cabinet
Wow thank now I see what I been doing it wrong
Hi, I have trouble keeping up with you! 💕
I get hangnails! Now I know how to avoid them!
