    Thank you Joshua. You're 100% correct in your description of the instructions. Even AFTER watching your video they still didn't make sense. Anyway, you've saved the day, I can now operate the tool properly. I was doing so many things wrong that it's hard to believe given it's such a simple tool. A couple of the major ones - not realising that there was a locking mechanism and fighting with it to open up; and not realising that there is a hole to look through when punching. Oh, and I also had the cubes set incorrectly. Doh! So, thanks again.

    Thank you, I was able to work it correctly but watched your video to make sure, as I seriously thought their instructions were terrible! You made it very easy to understand all the moving parts, and what really shocked me with their instructions was the warning disclaimer, stating: failure to follow our “terrible instructions” will damage the tool and void warranty!!!! Maybe you should contact them and have them add your UA-cam address as a “how to” link, so their tool does get used correctly by people who don’t understand substandard instructions and then they can avoid damaging their tool…. You would think given all their products they do have videos on, this would be one of them.

  • @amandan-e-thinggoes8177
    @amandan-e-thinggoes8177 2 роки тому

    I have had my breast cancer edition for over a year. Ive only used the hole punch bc I didn’t understand the directions either! I’ve been watching YT paper crafting tutorials and they use it all of the time for eyelets. I thought I needed a different kind so I’ve ordered 3 different packs from Amazon and couldn’t achieve the bear claw bc I was putting the small tube where the front of the eyelet is supposed to go which I learned from your video from a year ago. Thank you for releasing me from the frustration I’ve experienced from not knowing how to use it correctly. ❤️Amanda

    Thank you so much, Joshua, for a very informative video. I've got both the handheld Crop-a-dile and also the Big Bite one as well. I wasn't sure that I was doing it correctly as sometimes the eyelet was squashed at the back rather than a clean circle - do you have any idea why this happens? Also, I assumed that the eyelet at the back would be smooth but it looks like it's jagged. Can you cut your finger on it (as I can when I do it) ? Your advice would be much appreciated as like others I found that the written instructions are dreadful! Thank you.

    Thanks Joshua… I’m glad I watched you, to see what to do and watch out for the tool sticking. I’m not real happy about the wrong side with the grommet. It’s sharp and not a clean edge after setting or crimping. Am I doing something wrong? Squeezing too tight maybe?

    • @annheatherton
      @annheatherton 2 роки тому

      I was reading instructions on SplitCoastStampers group, and their discussion said to squeeze very slowly, not fast. Beats me. I will just do tests and use up the eyelet colors I don't use that much and try different thicknesses of cardstock and chipboard and see what happens. It is obviously not a perfect tool, and for most projects, that is just fine.
