Default crop-a-dile question

Hi everyone. I am very new to stamping and have read many of your raves about the crop-a-dile. I was using a 1/16 hand held punch for my brads and eyelets. I noticed the crop-a-dile does not have this size setting. I did buy one, but have not opened it yet for fear that the settings are too big for eyelets and brads? Can anyone help me please??? Thank you!!!

I use the smaller punch size for the regular sized eyelets and brads and the larger size for the big eyelets. I love mine and haven't had any problems with the sizes fitting.

I haven't had any issues using mine. In fact, I don't know how I lived without it for so long! You shouldn't have any issues using the crop-a-dile with your eyelets or brads. Remember.....if you do have issues, take it back.

I still use my 1/16th punch just to make the hole for my smallest brads, just b/c I think it's easier, but my crop-a-dile works fantastically for everything else. Break open that new toy and have fun!!!

Everyone on here talked me into getting one. Best investment ever. I did have a few issue's with it at first, but, my DD helped me figure it out. In fact I am just ready to go use it to make my first coaster box. Wish me luck!!

I just came home with one a little while ago. I used it over at my friend's house and wow, that thing is cool! I just had to have it and got it half off at Hobby Lobby today.
