Opaque coverage Acid free, non-toxic Works on polymer clay prior to baking Price: $3.00 Crop-A-Dile Crop-A-Dile, the strong, silent type. This is quite a tool - heavy-duty and a bit hefty, with cushiony pink handles. Click here for a closeup of the working end. Those 2 side arms are the hole punching parts; they make 1/8" and 3/16" holes. The sides have ruler-markings etched in so you can measure how far in to make the hole, and do it consistently. At the very end, there is a pretty cool arrangement for setting eyelets or snaps. Each side of the jaws has a black cube that can be turned so that one of the four sides is facing the center. The backing card has a chart for combining the top and bottom cubes for different sizes of eyelets or snaps. Then just squeeze and they're set. You can't set very far in from the edge, so you might need another type of setter for setting in the middle of things. I love this tool and have used it for punching holes in CDs, thin metal foil, our metal bottle caps, bookboard, soup cans, aluminum soda cans, and just about anything. The one limitation is that the item has to be fairly flat to fit into the notches for punching. From the package back: "Easily punch through almost any material, even thick bookboard, then set eyelets, snaps, or any embellishment in your project. Ideal for punching: paper, fabric, leather, plastic, chipboard, wood, acrylic, poly, and more!" Price: $25.00 [list: $28.00] Japanese Screw Punch Wood handle with brass shaft.
