I used the punch to repair a vinyl blind in my living room that had torn. This saved me having to buy a new blind or to pay someone to come out for an expensive repair bill and it looks great. You can not tell that it was torn from my repair.
This is a good product for people who want to protect their hands from muscle strain or carpel tunnel. I don't have any of those symptoms because I am careful not to do anything to cause strain. This one-hole punch is very easy to use and unlike the one-hole punch w/o the grip it requires very little pressure to squeeze close. When using it is very quiet also and the confetti that is collected does not fall out of the holder. I own the regular metal one-hole punch w/o the grip and it makes a loud noise whenever I use it. It also is very hard to squeeze together to punch the paper. I'm not sure if it's because it is of course inexpensive or just needs some oil. I don't think it came with oil but I feel like that's what it needs because it just doesn't work smoothly. So I like this new one-hole punch very much because of how less effort it takes to punch. The con is that it is kinda big. But feels sturdy and has a non-slip quality to it.
Purchased for a project. I made holes through poster board for gift bag name tags. The rubber grips made it easier and more comfortable on my hands. I would recommend them to anyone.
