will this punch through plastic sheets (shrinky dinks)?

I'm pretty sure it will. I tried it on heavy stencil plastic and it went right through.

Yes, this will work, but it has no guides for you to align the paper before punching, so you have to wing it.

It easily punches through cardboard, I'm not sure if it would tear lighter weight paper. It is a heavy tool and a little clumsy to use on cardboard. It is better for metals, I use it on coins and metal stampings for jewelry making. I love this tool!

No. The plastic part is not strong enough to sustain the stress caused by the force. This punch die is heavy duty but not for metalwork

The stick that came with mine is about the size of a lollipop stick. But anything that punches through the plastic should be fine.

I tried it on regular typing paper and it worked fine! My guess is that using it a lot on paper might dull it to plastic. My son has been cutting his picks from used gift cards!

It works best on softer, thinner materials. Even on some mild steels it works better as a prick punch.

Yes, it will cut through, as long as you take into account: 1) You have to have the hand strength to compress the punch to cut through a thicker material. If you can't squeeze the punch hard enough, the blades can't do the work. 2) The blades will be initially sharp enough, but will dull a tiny bit with each use. To sharpen the blades, cut through a very fine sandpaper a few times. You will feel the difference. 3) If the contact paper has a sticky adhesive, it will get on the blades and you will need to stop and clean them. You could try one of the label removing solvents, like Glue Gone, on a cotton ball or rag.

I don't see why not, but it may not cut the shrink wrap as well as it does paper; The cutting mechanism doesn't contain a blade, just a flat bar held taut with springs

Yes, it will cut the paper if entered in "landscape" direction as you call it. About 4 sheets at a time.

I am sure it will but not all at once. It would have to be ripped into smaller sections to shred it. It can handle about 6 sheets of paper easily. The opening can only handle an 8.5" piece of paper though.

As far as I know this revolving punch will just punch thru leather, because when I was a kid I was in a leather craft club and I used a revolving punch to punch thru leather and other leather craft stuff.

No. Also you have to make sure you press down on the clear plastic part that sits over the paper near the blade to hold the paper in place or it won't cut straight.

I have never tried it personally, but this thing is amazingly sharp and strong. It can cut 250 pages of card stock or 350 regular paper, so I would imagine it must cut stickers

I doubt that would work. It struggles to do much more than one sheet of paper.

Don't know why you would want to use a punch--the material is too thick. Very easy to drill holes through the bottom, though. Maybe 3/8" for your purposes.

Sorry, I couldn't say. I use this for styrene plastic, although I do cut up to .04 In thick sheets with it (it does take a mighty whack to get through). The one thing I do notice, if you do not cut through the stock with a single hit, the circle's edges will be irregular and uneven. Hope this helps.
