I am not sure what I was expecting with this punch but it didn't really wow me or disappoint me.  I have a few problems punching through some materials, but overall it is exactly what a single hole punch would be.  I paid way too much for it (around $7 I think) and probably could have gotten this much cheaper if I had shopped around.  I have used it for a lot of different projects so it was worth getting but I didn't necessarily need to stick to the craft brand.  If I could do it over I would have probably found a cheaper one.  Although, purple is my favorite color so that earns some points with me, too!  (The handles are color coded based on the design of the punch, just an FYI.)
