I need the 1/16 in. circles that are punched out for a project. How well are the circles preserved after being punched? Are they mangled or deformed

No, actually they remain intact...I hadn't even thought about it until you asked. I find the regular size holes often get a little bent, but I didn't find that with these.

The holes are round but I would advise not ordering this punch. I have found that I cannot press hard enough to punch through a leather belt without first starting the hole with a drill or something and just using the punch to clean up the hole.

Yes, they're made out of metal, painted steel, I'd say. Not soft enough to be aluminum. Do you have a bench vise and a punch set? If you do, then you can drift the sites. Just be careful not to let the punch slip!

Yes. Should be ok for the pre-fabricated shapes. I pressed several pieces into my finger and could not cut myself. Hope this helps. What a neat idea for a pond.

The knuckles are exposed. They are probably not good for activities that include punching. Still nice to use to enhance your workout.

Very poor quality try the ones that are full circle with a cut in circle . you will be very pleased

Yes you can punch holes in plastic material like a credit card & recover the circle waste from the bottom of the tool. The waste usually falls out the bottom of the tool and hits the floor never to be seen again but if you are careful you could probably recover it OK.

Hi, the punched out heart measures 1.5 inches high and 1.5 inches across at its widest part. It's a sturdy punch, I made 100s and 100s of hearts for a wedding project with this thing, totally worth it. Good luck, J

You are asking the wrong person. Suggest you search amazon to see if they sell single punches. Ace Hardware sells a single 5/16 hole punch for $9.99 but you might need to order it from their website. Doubt they would stock it in the store. The quality of the punches in this set leaves a lot to be desired. If I only needed one, I would buy it from Ace.

Not really sure what you intend on punching, since a real man goes bare knuckles. These are designed for mechanical work so you don't drag your knuckles across the exposed metal (for which they work great). The part you assumed was plastic is a high test durable rubber-like polymer so it won't break if you punch something. I'm assuming that since you are asking if something will hurt to punch something, that you will likely hurt yourself no matter what you put on your hands.

I can't answer your question because I bought these for the same reason, when they arrived I inspected the punches and found that 2 of the smaller punches were improperly ground so I returned them with out using them. Purchased a set of Grace punches that worked great.

This uses dies, they probably have a square die. I would not buy this style, it's really outdated. You need one of the big shot or big kick. There's no end to the shapes they cut.

In my experience, these punches will not work with aluminum 1/16 inch thick. They are so poorly made they break. On the plastic pack containing them, it plainly states that they are leather punches.

Hi There, This question had me curious, so I just tried it, and it works. Parchment paper is a little more fibrous than scrapbook paper, so it's best to use a quick snap-like punching motion to get a nice clean circle punch out, worked great for me. Hope you find this information helpful. September ~ AlteredAttic ;-)

I just tested it and yes you can punch through it! Although I think more intricate punch designs may encounter some problems. I used the discontinued pinking circle and it punched through just fine.

You can bend them about as much as a half circle without breaking them. They are a little persistent and will want to return back to their original shape though but if you can hold them down at the bend you want you should be ok

If you don't put the paper in all the way you can make it cut half circles. I like to use the punch upside down so I can see what/how much I am pinching out. Hope this helps.
