I recently purchased an Empunchlar by EK Success, and then wondered how I had ever survived before I found it. The Empunchlar is a paper punch/ embosser system.
You load 'dies'- either 'Punch Dies' or 'Embossing Dies', into the system and squeeze the easy-to-use handle. You can also set it on a table-top and push on the handle like a stapler. Even with my weak, puny hands, I had no problem using this, as it takes very little pressure to emboss, and even less pressure to punch.
There are a lot of punches and embossers to choose from, and they make nice, big punches.
There is a circular template available, so you can emboss or punch in a circle. That is really a nice feature I have never seen in any punch before.
The Empunchlar also has a six inch reach, so you can finally punch or emboss in the middle of a page.
Since a regular paper punch usually costs $2-$15, depending on size, and cannot punch in a circle or to the middle of a page, the Empunchlar is an invaluable tool you will use again and again.
