    I need some advice from those of you who own corner-rounding paper punchers.

    Can you please recommend a brand and type of corner punch?  I'll be rounding several hundred corners.  My biggest concern isn't the sore palm/fingers, but the consistency.  I need it to punch all the way through, in a predictable place every time.

    Thank you in advance!  I've attached pix so you know what I'm generally looking for!

    one more thing... the blue one is better too because of the hand motion requred to make the rounded corner... The bottom one is HORRIBLE.... you kinda have to stand up and push down to make the corner... that would wear you out doing several hundred corners.   Again, I love the blue Fiskars one!!

    Have you ever used (or heard about) the We R Memory Keepers Crop a dile? They also make a corner chomp...it is GREAT and doesn't hurt my hands much. It is a little pricy but works like a charm for ANY project!!!

    Oooh thanks, girls!

    I'll check out the blue Fiskars.  It must be good if they're using it in classes!

    That corner chomp looks crazy!  I've never heard of that brand, but I'll keep any eye out for it.  Thank you!

    another vote for the blue fiskars, although i haven't used any of the other ones. i'm rounding hundreds and hundreds of corners, and it's very sturdy.  just try to space out the corner rounding, though, because even with a good tool, your hand will get tired. i think it's kind of fun!

    I have the Corner Chomper posted above and the orange Fiskars one you posted.  The Corner Chomper is amazing.  Worth every penny.  I just threw the Fiskars one away, haha. 

    You could go to a local scrapbooking store and use their corner punches for a small fee.  At my local store, it's $7 for two hours.  That's a lot cheaper than buying something you'll never use again.

    I'm a huge Creative Memories  junkie and I use a lot of their cutters!  Very reliable and consistent!  All the other stuff I use don't come out as clean!

    Since you haven't gone out to purchase your corner rounder yet, I'll put in another vote for the blue Fiskars one! No hand cramping or thumb blisters...it works great!
