Crop-A-Dile

The Crop-A-Dile is an all-in-one tool from We R Memory Keepers that punches and sets eyelets and snaps. Below are some pros and cons.

Pros:
· Punches through paper, cardstock, chipboard, acrylic, fabric, leather, metal, and more.
· Silent. No banging or clicking.
· One piece to punch and set eyelets and snaps.
· Sets 1/8" and 3/16" eyelets and snaps.
· Can easily punch and set eyelets in a straight line.

Cons:
· Only reaches 1” from the edge of paper. Works great with cards but may be limiting for scrapbookers. May want to consider the Crop-A-Dile II Big Bite for a longer reach.
· Too much pressure could cause the eyelet to be flattened.
· Does not set 1/16" eyelets.
· More expensive than other eyelet and snap setters.

The Crop-A-Dile is the setting tool used most in our projects.
