Customer comment

"I am using the 0.75 mm WPI punch for punching flow inlets in microfluidics chambers molded of PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane). I have made around 75 hole punches with a single unit into PDMS, the blade and the extractor still work perfectly, though the extractor button sticks slightly. I find the blade to be noticeably sharper than the Harris equivalent, as well as being more ergonomic, in my opinion, with the feel of a pen or pencil in one's hand. " R.P ,UNC
