The Fiskars 1/16 Inch Hand Punch makes exactly that—1/16 inch diameter holes. It's a handy little tool especially for paper crafts or working with lighter materials. The manufacturer mentions it's great for things like making hang holes in gift tags or even confetti.

According to what we've gathered, it works best on materials like 65-lb. cardstock or anything lighter, delivering clean and consistent punches. When it comes to making precise cuts, like for quilting templates or drafting patterns, folks generally find it pretty easy to use.

Some people have even used it on layers of sandbag material, which shows it can handle a bit more than you'd expect. But it's not all thumbs up; there are mixed opinions about using it on thicker stuff. While it's efficient for lighter tasks, some noted it struggles with tougher materials like sandal straps and isn’t built as tough as older models.

So, if your main focus is on light to moderate crafting, it's a great choice. It fits comfortably in your hand and helps keep your workspace tidy with its little confetti catcher.

But if you find yourself frequently needing to punch through thicker materials, you might want to look into more robust tools. It's always a good idea to pick the right tool for your project's specific needs.
