Presto Punch

A new tool is about to arrive in the country from the very popular Spellbinders.

Although we haven't seen one to play with yet this looks an interesting tool and maybe a good introduction to die cutting and embossing.

Here is the details we have so far on the Presto Punch and will add more detail as we get it.

Presto Punch™, the first automatic Punch and Embossing System! Presto Punch™ offers the easiest, most convenient solution for paper punching. Its innovative design and one touch operation virtually eliminates the need for a multitude of bulky, space-consuming punches.

With Presto Punch™, consumers can cut and emboss effortlessly and store more than 30 punch designs in the space of just one standard punch.

Presto Punch™ is automatic and easy to use. It is battery operated, and requires 8 AA batteries, and weighs only 3.8lbs with the batteries installed..

Presto Punch™ is compact sized and light weight, making it easy to use, transport and store. Presto Punch™ Templates are small and light weight as well, allowing crafters to utilize the versatility of punches hassle free!

Approximate Dimensions:

L x W x H- 5¼ x 4½ x 7"
I have just found this demo video that was taken at the latest CHA. All prices mentioned are US dollars for the USA market.

Thank you Ian. I saw this on this on the Spellbinders site and was wondering how it all worked.
Think I will probably "need" it when they do arrive in the country as well as some of their gorgeous new dies. I'll "need" them as well

It does look a neat machines doesn't it?? It will probably retail here for just over the $100 mark.....................don't quote me on that though

I think it will help to take over from the punches especially as its so easy and small to store. Although it does take a lot of batteries, I think I hear mention in the clip that you can get an adaptor cord too. I think I'll be selling all my punches off soon . The due date for Australia is end of April, too late for our Easter Craft fair, probably be here just in time for the June long weekend one.

We just heard the latest news on this machine. It seems that Spellbinders still haven't got their UL (Underwriters Laboratories) approval yet but they hope it will be very soon. This means up to now only a few sample machines have been made and as soon as they get the approval it will go in to production.

I think it will be a good couple of months before there is any chance of it being delivered and may be more. It is sad that everyone gets their hopes up on the news of a new toy before it is really ready to go.

Sorry to bring bad news but at lease we all know now.
