Rikolto Hole Punch 5/16 inch (8mm) Single Hole Punch — Heavy-Duty Long-Handle with Adjustable Guide

Rikolto's Hole Punch 5/16 inch (8mm) is a compact heavy‑duty single hole puncher that cleanly punches 8mm round holes through paper, PVC, cardboard and thin leather.

This handheld long‑handle punch is built for precise, repeatable holes in badges, tags, cards and craft projects. Its chrome‑plated zinc alloy body and heat‑hardened punch deliver burr‑free results, while an adjustable guide and visible measurement make it simple to set consistent hole placement. Designed to handle small stacks without jamming, the tool balances portability with workshop strength.

How accurate is the hole placement and size?

The punch makes a true 5/16" (8mm) round hole; the centre is fixed 1" (25mm) from the edge for predictable placement. A built‑in scale and adjustable stop help you align material quickly so every hole lines up where you expect it.

• Hole diameter: 5/16" (8mm) precise punch
• Centre-to-edge distance: 1" / 25mm fixed measurement
• Visible scale and adjustable guide for repeatability
• Consistent, burr‑free results thanks to heat‑hardened punch

What materials and thicknesses can it handle?

This single hole punch works on a variety of common materials used for IDs, cards, tags and small crafts. For best performance, follow the recommended thickness limits to avoid overloading the mechanism.

• Paper: up to 0.098 in / 2.5 mm (about 15–20 A4 sheets at once)
• PVC: up to 0.06 in / 1.5 mm (ID and membership cards)
• Leather: up to 0.078 in / 2.0 mm for thin leather tags
• Also suitable for cardboard, photos, tickets and thin plastic packaging

How durable and portable is the punch?

Constructed from chrome‑plated zinc alloy and a heat‑treated perforator, this punch is made to resist wear and stay shiny. Its compact 5.10 x 3.54 x 0.78 inch footprint fits in a drawer, toolkit or bag so you can take it to events, studios or the office.

• Zinc alloy body with chrome finish for corrosion resistance
• Heat‑hardened cutting element prevents deformation and burrs
• Ergonomic long‑handle design reduces force needed per punch
• Compact, hand‑held size for convenient storage and transport

What tasks is this hole punch best suited for?

The tool excels where one precise round hole is required rather than multiple holes or ring binding — think badges, hang tags, key tags and craft accents. It’s tailored for repeatable single‑hole workflows and small production runs.

• Badge and lanyard hole punching for events and ID cards
• Hang tags, price tags and retail labels
• Business cards, photos and craft projects requiring a neat round hole
• Ticket and membership card customization
