Here's how to stop 1/8" eyelets from splitting on the back!
I purchased one of these from my local craft store to add 1/8" eyelets to my laminated keychains. However, I was disappointed to note that using the instruction's settings for 1/8" eyelets (Blocks C and 3), my eyelets were all being split and crushed on the back side, no matter how slowly or quickly I pressed the blocks together! After some research, I found a solution: use blocks C and 4 on 1/8" eyelets and avoid tears completely! I'll include a photo with my review for reference.
Hole punch works beautifully and makes a nice smooth hole, but keep an eye where the pieces fly (and they WILL fly)! After finishing a large project, I looked in the mirror and found three punched-out holes in my hair. I consider it more of an amusement than a problem, though.
