I have a Crop-A-Dile corner rounder and it is fantastic. It was easily available at Michael’s when I bought it, but that was pre-pandemic. I used a 40% off coupon, which made the purchase less painful to my pocketbook. Thank you so much for the preview of this impressive punch!
Another great video. I bought this specifically for laminated covers/dashboards, and plan to use it for your cutting mat dividers tutorial. I don’t know that I would use it for my regular paper punch, even for mass inserts, I just feel the HP punch would be faster since I mainly frankenplan in a big HP. I will say the punch is a rockstar-my perfectionism doesn’t allow for the shorter stem of an ARC punch, so this is just right. Cuts 10mil lamination easily.
I think I will use it for specialized projects more so than Mass insert punching as well, but it is good to have options. My happy planner punch is very finicking.
I love mine. I purchased it from Michaels with the 20% off coupon, and a rewards $10 coupon -- with shipping I think I paid $23. I like that the built-in template aligns with the happy planner pages, and that it punches through laminate no problems. I've opened the punch collector and used it to view where the first hole should be punched, then used the template thereafter. Works great! Thanks for the review!
Another piece of equipment that I would like to purchase. The review was very helpful. This is going to be my next 60% coupon at Joann’s fabrics or 40% at hobby lobby. It is pricey for me at full price......and who likes paying full prices 😊😊😊. Thank you for the review😊
I think this is nice for inserts but I’ve heart that if you want to do thicker things like cork plastic the “mushroom head” is not thick enough still gonna try it out though because would be great tool overall gonna wait until back in stock at Joann or micheals tho!
I think Michaels is starting to carry them (again). I am not too sure about cork plastic in particular, but it is the strongest disc punch I've come across by far.
I have this and I haven't used it yet because I haven't set up my new printer (1st one I've had in almost 20 years)! I really appreciate this detailed review and tutorial - it was exactly what I needed to get going 😊
It has arrived here in Brazil in scrapbooking stores and I’ve ordered mine, but it’s an expensive tool. I believe that its advantage is that it punches hard areas & kinds of fabric & a bunch of paper at the same time 😊 thanks for the review 💕
I didn’t even know this was out there😊! That is something I’m going to keep an eye on. I like making my own bookmarks and dashboards. Thank you for sharing your review, take care💗🤗!
Hmm, if you don't have a chunky planner, then the 1" size would look well proportioned. If you need more space, I'd do HP classic size (1.25") next, and finally 1.5" if you you have all the things in there!
Awesome video! I'd absolutely LOVE if someone can tell me what is the thickest, stiffest material this thing can go through? Like what weight of chipboard? I don't know if plastic is described in weights or millimeters or what but also wondering highest weight or thickness of plastic this would go through! (I imagine it wouldn't go through even the thinnest of woods or metals. That's okay.) Has this product held up well for long-term use? I don't know of any other disc puncher on the market considered as capable as this (not even my most expensive of the Levenger disc punchers I just bought from what I know). So this product seems like a really big deal in this space!!
It is very strong. I believe it claims to go through thin metals even, but I have not tried it. Perhaps you can find what you are looking for in another review on the power punch since they have other hole styles of the same design.
May invest in this, I have the Happy Planner punch which is great for paper but I have been following your tip of using cutting mats for planner covers, dashboards, etc. punch struggles to work with mats.have you done a tutorial on making pocket folders for the classic planner ?
Yes, the HP punch is really only good for lightweight paper so this is a might needed alternative. I don't have a DIY video on pocket folders but I have made my own in the past.... I'll see if I get a video up on that next month.
I haven't yet tried it but I believe, using a sheet of classic paper as a guide will work...just pulling down the the empty punch door to align the first punch with the paper, then using the guide from there. That's how I plan to do it anyway.
Does it take a lot of hand strength to squeeze? I would love one but do not want to buy if I couldn’t use with my arthritis which has gotten pretty bad.
Hmm, it isn't too hard, IMO, but maybe purchase for somewhere with a free returns in case it proves to be to much for you. It gets harder the thicker the material.
@@squairdplans Thank you - I think I will still order one 😊 And thank you for all of the information, ideas and creativity you bring to us! I have gotten so much inspiration from you! 💕

Thanks for sharing!!
Game changer for sure! I use their corner rounder for everything from paper to laminated covers. Love it!
So happy to see a punch that can handle more than a couple sheets of paper!
Hi Stephanie, love the punch, It punches leather also. I purchased mine at Michaels with 20% off plus shipping. Happy Christmas, stay safe stay well.
How is the leather sliding? On the discs
@@Evergreenforest33 Oh, yes I punched a leather cover to go on a journaling Bible that is on discs. Easy and smooth.
Thank you! You too!
The best disc punch ever. I 💚💚💚 mine to the moon and back.
I 100% agree. Definitely worth the money.

Glad it was helpful!
It is worth every penny.
I agree! 😁👍🏼
I purchased one as well to give a try on my cover making. I love it I only had for a couple months but it is a game changer. Happy holidays
Good to hear! Happy Holidays!
I purchased mine on Amazon. Absolutely love it especially when I'm making my own dashboards, thanks to your tutorial. You are awesome.
Thanks Barbara! 💙😁

I am thinking Leather Cover for my planner if I can get my hands on one of these.
That sounds cool!
It performs well with different substrate and it looks good. Excellent review, thank you!❤️
You’re welcome 😊
I have one of these and love it. I got it right when it first launched at Michaels. I was able to pick up in store (curbside) with a 30% odd coupon.
Nice! I couldn't find it anywhere but Scrapbook.com when I was looking for it but of course, Michaels has it now. UGH!
Thanks for reviewing this. Looks great. I think I need one. Blessings.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review. It seems to be worth having it for special inserts.
I think so too!
Thanks for reviewing this - I need this in my life!
Yes you do! 😀💕
Thank you, super for vacation 😍
You are welcome 😊
What an amazing review thanks 😊
Happy to share! 👍
Thank you for sharing!!!
You are so welcome!
Nice
Thanks!
Excellent review, what size discs do you recommend using the Punch Power for an A5 agenda? Thank you ! Loved your channel

Have you found a way to line up the initial hole to match classic size paper?
I haven't yet tried it but I believe, using a sheet of classic paper as a guide will work...just pulling down the the empty punch door to align the first punch with the paper, then using the guide from there. That's how I plan to do it anyway.
