Looking for a Chipboard Hole Punch

Topic Closed

Apr '09 Craftysprinkles

I am trying to find a standard hole punch that will work on heavy chipboard easily. I have a regular one, but it kills my hand when I use it a lot. Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any standard hole punch that would work. Do you have a cropadile or a big bite? Both of them would go through chipboard easily.

You'll need a crop-a-dile, definitely!

My Big Bite is most used, most loved, greatest scrappin' tool EVER made. I hated eyelets until I got that baby now watch me go. I even put a double eyelet on a layout last night. Big flower eyelet with a smaller dark colored eyelet in the middle of it. Couldn't even tell I wasn't pressing the second eyelet into paper. And it has a long reach so I can do right into the middle of 12 x 12 paper.

Definitely the Big Bite - it has a nice long reach. I have both - the cropadile and big bite. Many of the stores have them and you can use a coupon too. You can probably find a how-to video on you tube.

yep- you need a crop-a-dile!

either the big bite or the standard one. I'd go for the big bite as it's more versatile and can reach SUPER far!

I love, love, love my crop-a-dile! It even punches through a leather belt - so chipboard is no problem.

Oh yes the crop-a-dile big bite is so smooth, easy- great hole puncher for chipboards, thick mat, even some foam!

I love the Big Bite. I had the Crop A Dile first and then succumbed to the Big Bite.
