I totally recommend this! My friend used it on some historical coins she wanted to put in her scrapbook and punched a hole in them to hang. I also used it to put the extra large eyelts by the same company into a metal tin I got at Michaels and I use it for my ribbon storage.
PS If you can, everyone should download Adobe Acrobat Reader (<--click!). It's free, reliable (ie long-standing, reputable company) and the best application for opening PDF's.
Hi there. Since I've discovered mine, I use it anytime I am doing cards. I have kinda "shunned" my other punches and setters because this gadget is so neat, even tho it's a little bulky at first once I got used to what end did what I am getting better at using it. Hope you get to like yours too!

My Crop-A-Dile reminds me every time I use it that I have a pretty good sense of humor. (Or at least reminds me to laugh at myself.) EVERY time I use it to punch a hole, I always try to use the eyelet setter part first to punch the hole -- like a regular hole punch. I don't actually squeeze the handle because my brain must kind of say "Whoaaaa there Nellie! That's not right!" So.. I have to hold it away from the paper, squeeze the handle and then register how I need to use to punch the correct size hole. I don't mean that it is difficult to actually use, just for my brain to kind of re-set itself to use the hole punchers on the side of the unit.

I recently bought the Crop-A-Dile, and I adore it! It will cut 1/8" and 3/16" round holes in paper, cardboard, even thin metal. The settings are variable. You can set eyelets, snaps, and just about anything that would need to be set, including oversized and oddly shaped pieces.
Another thing I like about it is that it is sooo much easier on the hands and ears. It's virtually silent, and my poor joints feel no pain with it. If you do buy it, be sure to follow the instructions. If it's used upside down, on the wrong setting, etc., it could be broken.
