The media could not be loaded.I purchased this item to use for arts and crafts for the kids, and because I had had one of these as a child. This product arrived on time and was exactly as described.The heart puncher is metal and pink, and does require a good amount of force to pinch down and create a heart cutout. I had no issues, but it was hard for my toddler to do in her small hands. It also has a cover on it, so that when you punch the heart cutout out – it does in the cover / guard. You can empty this to use the heart cutouts for projects. After using a few times, I did not notice any stickiness. It is very durable and nice quality. This heart puncher seems to be a great value for the money, and surely will be good to have around Valentine’s Day. Hope this helps!
