This single-hole punch from Aeffnoc features a soft grip handle designed to provide a more comfortable feel during quick craft tasks. The tool creates a standard 1/4-inch hole and includes a small paper mess tray to catch debris. It is best suited for light-duty projects, such as punching through a few sheets of standard paper or thin cardstock, making it a portable choice for journaling or scrapbooking.
The punch pin is made of hardened steel to resist dulling, while the waste tray uses a friction-fit hinge. To maintain the mechanical parts, it is helpful to use the tool on 4 sheets or fewer for most tasks. Because the pivot pin is a central stress point, avoiding very heavy materials helps the internal spring stay aligned for consistent use. The compact size makes it easy to store in a small organizer bin or pencil pouch.
If you need a tool that can reliably handle thicker materials like laminated cards or chipboard, the Cgerma Heavy Duty Punch is built for higher resistance.
Small handheld tools are useful staples to keep in your collection of hole punchers for home and school projects.
