The Cgerma single-hole punch is a specialized tool built for projects that require punching through thicker substrates like PVC ID cards, 1.5mm chipboard, or up to 15 sheets of paper. It utilizes a U-spring mechanism and a fulcrum-shift design to provide more mechanical advantage, which helps reduce the hand strength needed for each punch. The purple anodized finish and anti-skid base plate make it both a functional and distinct addition to a craft table.
An integrated guide allows for repeatable margin alignment, which is helpful for creating uniform tags or business cards. The cold-rolled steel punch pin is hardened to maintain its edge even when used on synthetic materials. For high-volume work, such as processing a large stack of invitations, the linear punch action helps minimize wrist strain compared to traditional hinged pliers.
If you are primarily punching standard office paper for binders, a multi-hole tool like the Bostitch Premium 3-Hole Punch may be more efficient for your workflow.
Heavy-duty options provide the necessary leverage for tough materials found in the hole punchers section.
