Thank you for a great video. What I do to avoid the HP one stuck is put a regular paper onther the sheet. But I think the crop a dille will work better. It on the list to order it soon. 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗
Great review. You’d think after all this time hp would redesign their punch so it’s not so frustrating to use. My favorite is the larger levenger punch- it’s definitely an investment (even when on sale) but well worth it since you can easily punch through multiple sheets of even heavier gsm paper and also punches through laminated covers, bookmarks, etc. it saves time and doesn’t take a whole lot of muscle strength. Thanks for sharing!
@@steppy3736 the width between the punches are the same but the first punch starts 1/8” further in on the paper than prepunched HP Paper (I don’t own a HP punch, so I don’t know if the actual HP punch lines up with the prepunched HP paper either). So if you were to interweave Levenger punched paper and HP prepunched paper, it would not create lined up edges at the top and bottom. Also to note, another reason I like the levenger punch, is that the mushroom stems are a touch shorter, but a smidge/scant wider and the mushroom heads on the levenger punch are slightly bigger all the way around allowing for less drag and a smoother pull around the discs. Hope this helps. : )
Great video. I am learning all hole punch are a little different. How does the laminated or thicker paper holes with the crop a dile look or line up with the happy planner hole size. Are they same? Tul punch is too close to the edge of the page I discovered. Thank you.
The spacing is the same but the only thing I’ve noticed that is different is the length of the “stem” part of the punch so the think line part. For some reason it’s shorter on the happy planner one but honestly it never causes any issues.
I have to say, the latest HP punch is so much better than the og blue one. 😠 That thing was incredibly frustrating! Even the latest punch cannot punch laminate, or stickers very well. I have an arc punch and it works great but, the holes are a bit off. I prefer the crop-a-dile.
I have the blue happy planner punch and it gets stuck all the time and it's so annoying. I even get papers stuck in the punch and have to take it apart to get them out. I have never used the cropadile but I want one. May be my next purchase. Im sad I paid so much for the happy planner one and it basically sucks. :(

Do the holes line up well? I have an Arc punch and it works great, but the holes are a little off from the HP planner.

Thank you for looking at both types of punches. Your reply is very helpful.
HP punch is very temperamental… I’ve had 3 over the years and they just jam too easy. I’ll be buying the WRMK punch soon
The we r memories punch is divine
New to planning, thank you, just ordered memory keeper tool from michaels with a 50% off for pickup❤️
Great review!! Sold me on that Memory keeper because I do more Memory planning and need to punch tons of laminated stuff.

The holes would be easier to see with solid paper.
good to know!

Great video!! Thanks so sharing.
I have the big HP pink punch from when I first started accumulating planning supplies and then added the Crop-a-dile punch to my arsenal! 💙💛🪴
Me too
The WRMK punch is the best

I have that blue punch. It's a nightmare to use!
