do you have a crop a dile and do you like it?

I am also thinking about purchasing one, but my only worry is if it's hard to use. I have weak wrists & any amount of pressure hurts. Do you really have to grip it hard or is it on the easier side??

Thanks guys!

How do you do that?

If you use the eyelet setter part on paper without holes in it and press lightly, it will leave an embossed circle. You can choose the size from the two there.

It takes a delicate touch, but it works!

It is really easy on the hands. Much easier to punch through metal with it than using a standard hole punch on paper.

I have really bad carpal tunnel syndrome and I couldn't dream of using anyhting else for setting eyelets There's no "shock", and if your wrists are rreally weak (as mine get in a bad attack) you can sort of balance it together and use both hands My DS(7) can manage it too! Its his favourite thing

Thanks guys! Now I can't wait to get one.

I'm new to the whole scrapbooking thing. My birthday is Tuesday & my best friend threw me a Creative Memories party, so now I have EVERYTHING imaginable from creative memories & no clue how to use any of it. My friend is an art school graduate, so she's helping me out. I'm actually looking forward to getting home from WDW/DCL so I can start my first album!

I always say it is as smooth as buttah. It cuts like a dream, I punched metal the other day and it was a breeze.

I love, love, love my CAD! I use it for so much more then just scrapping! Just this morning, I used it to make a notch in my daughters belt before school! It is the absolute easiest way to set eyelets too! I would never go back to the "manual" way of pounding them in!!

I just need to add that my cousin's 4yo (just turned 4) son was able to use my crop-a-dile to punch through these little pails we used for my grandmother's party.

once I squeezed the handles close enough together for his little hands to reach around, he did all the punching himself-on like 60 pails!!

So, if a 4yo can do it...anybody can.
