Default Help!! Giga craft punchs

For all of you, who make those cute cards with the giga punches, I have a question. Do I order:

Giga Craft punch

or

Clever Lever Giga craft punch

I'm wanting the oval and circle.

I want to order ASAP, but I'm confused.

Thanks

You want the Clever Lever. If you've ever nearly broken your hand trying to punch a big punch with no lever, then you'll understand why. It's just much easier to maneuver.

I'm interested to know where to get them, too. I bought the regular giga punch at Michael's and could not believe how hard it was to punch! I need a lever!! Thanks!!

Most everyone is out of stock. I got an email from Fran at franticstamper.com saying that she is expecting a huge order at the beginning of February and to order now to get on the list. HTH!

Don't order from http://www.1stopsquare.com/

They say they are in stock but they're not. I'm still waiting for one of mine that I ordered BEFORE Christmas. ETA is mid Feb. now. I'm okay with the mfg being out of them (thanks to all of us on SCS!) but this place says they have them in stock and they really don't.

Just giving a warning....

Are the punch outs the same size regardless of whether it is clever lever or button style punch?

Yup. Pink is Mega, purple is Giga. Clever lever are the way to go instead of the button style though.

I ordered mine from franticstamper.com, I have worked with Fran (she's the Frantic Stamper) before and she is just terrific! In fact, when I called her I was clueless as what I was supposed to be ordering and I was going to get the Giga sizes in both the plain and scalloped circles and ovals...thankfully she set me straight that I probably wanted the plain circles and plain ovals in the smaller Mega size so that I coudl layer them. Can you imagine how disappointed I would have been ordering the wrong sizes???
