We R Memory Keepers Crop-a-Dile II Big Bite Punch, Aqua

Product Information

Rotating setting blocks and action setter help you do what you want to do without fumbling around for loose pieces.

This tool saves me about 5 minutes because I can punch a small enough hole through all the layers at once rather than doing it with an awl. I make bookmarks a lot, and it's so handy for punching the hole and adding an oversized eyelet on the end of the bookmark.I bought the regular one a long time ago and so far I am not really feeling like I just HAVE to have the big bite. Etsy reserves the right to request that sellers provide additional information, disclose an item's country of origin in a listing, or take other steps to meet compliance obligations.

I thought that setting eyelets was something it would be most useful for, but then I looked around and don't see many cards that use eyelets! It was due to the extended flaps for the backpack bottom (for closing) that I could have used the Big Bite to make it easier (due to the longer reach).

I didn't realise there was a new one with a smaller grip; I know when the first one came out some people had trouble holding it, so if you have small hands it could be worth considering. I also found, like the original Crop-a-dile, this product does have a bit of a learning curve to it. If you purchase this product, I'd suggest practicing on scrap paper first until you get the hang of it. This tool features a 6" punching reach that allows you to punch and set the accents at the centre of your 12" x 12" pages.

I would think -for -me the smaller grip one would be better but my question would be how strong a grip do you need to squeeze it?One thing I changed was I bought foam board (comes covered in tons of colors to match the photo boxes) to cut out inserts and hot glued them on the inside ends for the dowels to sit in.

With the emergence of the wonderful art of scrapbooking and paper crafting, came the ever-increasing need for high quality, functional, and creative crafting products and tools. I do have the Big Bite but think it was a waste of money, I've maybe used it once - I do used the hand-held model for the above mentioned uses. But if you wish to travel with the tool then the dedicated box will give the tool more protection as it will stop it rattling around.To place an eyelet or a fastener, it must be placed under pressure using the central part of the tool. I have been thinking of getting a Crop-A-Dile, but then saw the Big Bite version and wondered if the extended reach would be more useful. I realised yesterday when using my CAD through one layer of regular card that I was actually squeezing t from quite near the mechanism end of it, rather than holding it at the end of the handles (sorry, hard to describe in words!
