How can a cropadile die? what could go wrong? Just curious, just got one for Christmas, and would like to know what to look out for.

I have heard the spring breaks in them after "prolonged use," I suppose.

Kelly, yes the new one punches holes, too. I, myself, will be glad to get mine, if just for the long reach! I really like my regular one, but have been frustrated, sometimes, because of the limited reach.

DH ordered me one from hsn and it says I *should* have it by feb 4th. so depending on when u ordered it maybe? that's when it will arrive? i noticed they're "sold out" now. lol i have to brag on my dh...I for some reason saw a craft special on HSN while flipping channels and turned it on. I came flying into the living room and turned it on where dh was.... he was playing on the laptop and ordered me one while i was watching tv hehe! you know how it is, when they do something good you have to enjoy it and brag to ur buds :rolleyes:

I may have to get this one! Looks fabulous!

I just got my "Big-Bite" and was playing around with it. The eyelets are a dream to set. However, the gromlets they sent say you don't need to punch a hole first, so I set a test one and thought a hole would be punched while the gromlet was being set. But it doesn't punch a hole --- does that mean I have to cut out the center of every gromlet I set??? Is there something that I'm missing? Thanks.

[bemidjibelle]

I am not too sure, but I think the gromlets don't have a hole... are just circles of metal (with the prongs fastened on the back) put into some kind of solid paper, fabric, tin, or whatever. Correct me, somebody, if I am wrong....

yay! mine came yesterday! I started playing with it and I'm having the same problems I had at first with the original. I just cant get the eyelets to set right! I'm sure it's operator error :rolleyes: any suggestions gals?

[nuhddad]

I just got mine and it doesn't line up to punch the holes. If I tweak it a little It will punch one hole but not the other and the same with the other one. I can't keep tweaking it every time I punch something. I'm sending it back. Any one else having problems with it?

[bemidjibelle]

Mine lines up fine. Yours must be defective. At first mine wouldn't punch, but I pushed hard several times through CS, and now it is fine.

I'm w/u...mine would punch ok but wouldn't set completely. Call HSN they were super sweet and are sending me out another one at no charge. got great customer service! I'm thinking they got a bad batch 1st go round hopefully this one will work!

[mlharrell]

I already have it, from HSN. They had a special on it for $39.
It will sit on the table and is still light enough to hold by hand.
You can punch up to 6".
