Bought this as a gift for my boyfriend because he was always losing his picks

The colorful layer will be too brittle to use, but; the clear layer makes great picks

Also has quite a few plastic strips to punch your own picks

I’ve only punched one pick

He was very surprised that it works so well and is surprised that old gift cards make great picks.

I have tried cutting old credit cards to make picks when he's lost all

, I like the fact that you can punch out picks from any plastic, like credit cards, and your delivery was prompt

The strips by Equipt4 have been a breeze and work well, no snags, or rough edges- a fairly thick pick, no taper

Feed it in narrow end up into the punch and you can only punch 4 picks after a lot of turning and moving.

but I love punching out picks.

Very sturdy construction, high quality materials, and it makes perfect picks

Cuts clean picks every time

also Dad like soft pics and rough picks

He is in a band and constantly losing his picks and he loves having the ability to make more.

Awsome little pick maker

Easily converts not only the enclosed plastic strips into useable designer guitar picks, but it also works well on expired credit cards, hotel key cards....

but I prefer fender picks, still good picks though, the pick punch makes picks easily so you'll have a bunch of picks if you have other materials to use

Pick one up for yourself already and start punching your very own picks.

Great ,love it .Those credit cards make good picks.

Nothing beats unlimited picks.

He has had fun with this and the picks are as good as whatever he punches them out of.

What that translates to is that they don't make very durable picks because they break in layers

Within minutes, my high school daughter had punched out a handful of picks using the plastic strips that came with the punch, and she's having fun creating her own picks now from other materials.

Awesome little pick punch, you just have to take care to line up with the sheets not the edge of them... i.e. if you push the sheet all the way back to the stopping point, you may clip off the top portion of the pick

The "pick puncher" punches out picks but they are usually jagged around the edges and you need the file to make it smooth.

For days, all he did was punch out picks from the included strips and from old credit cards

By the way, if you like a thinner and more flexible pick, get a 3M notebook and use the cover as pick material

My son loves making creative picks

The young adult males who always lose their picks were really happy

We were all impressed with the quality of the pick-maker and loved the guitar-shaped file and the keychain pick-holder that were included with it, as well as the generous supply of colorful pick material

He immediately punched out some picks and was impressed that it came with a file to file down the rough edges.

The picks that it makes are very nice with solid, smooth edges and it

He's always losing picks or having to buy new ones, so this is a great way for him to be able to just make a few picks when he runs low

Really need to use it upside down if you want to be able to see what the pick will look like.

i bought it for my brother as a gift as he always loses his guitar picks, and he loves it

She started using the Palooza now to punch out picks to use in her necklace designs

He carries it in his guitar case so he can create a pick if he looses one

Makes nice rounded side picks.

We just whip out an old insurance card or subway rewards card and punch out a few picks

Her mom loved it too because my niece keeps losing her guitar picks but now she can make them.

It has been so much fun destroying my junk and it gives him fun guitar picks with my name on them or other unique things

We have easily made enough picks to pay for the punch, and you can't put a price on the fun we have had.

It comes with a lot of blanks to make your own picks but what I enjoy the most is making picks from, old drivers license, hotel key cards, old credit cards, store gift cards.

There is also a cute, leather, key ring pick holder included in the box

Love making our own picks!

It's so much fun finding new items to punch a new pick from.

The pick-a-paloozo is convenient to have it seemed like every time I turned around I would be needing a pick and of course I wouldn't have one and it would be to late to go to the music

You may not sound like Hendrix after buying this product but your picks would look like his.

Gave this pick maker as a gift to my boyfriend for christmas he loved it, the picks are definitely better for guitars though since basses generally require heavier picks.

He was punching out some picks from some of my old rewards cards the other day!!

No complaints, makes picks cleanly and smoothly

Sure, a pick is a simple object, but can they really be easy to make?

My daughter loves making picks with her friends and gives them as gift too!

I still get great picks, but have to sand one of the sides since its not a smooth cut like the rest of the pick

Thought he would love it as he regularly loses picks and this could give him an endless supply

the key chain holder is such a great idea, since its so easy to lose picks

You can turn almost any stiff material into a cool pick.

This was a great gift for our daughter, we have had much fun making picks!

He likes much thinner picks so most materials he finds is too thick, but still lots of fun.

Perfect for any guitar player as picks get lost very easily

Depending on how carefully you punch, you can get up to 6 picks out of a single strip so you can punch up to 90 picks with the 15 strips

He has had fun with this and the picks are as good as whatever he punches them out of.

What that translates to is that they don't make very durable picks because they break in layers

The order process was frustrating though, and the picks aren't as "perfect" as I'd hoped.***UPDATE 6/24/13***From this review, I received a response from the seller, Equipt4.

Everything met my expectations, no more lost picks, and hr can put what ever design he chooses

Equipt4 immediately reached out to me apologizing and stating they would look into what went wrong and offered to send me a Pick-a-palooza free of charge.

There is a slot in the bottom so you can see how the pick will look like before the card gets cut/punched.

Bought as a gift kid luvs it especially when a pick turns up missing it's an easy immediate replacement

The pick-a-palooza is awesome!

I like the way you can choose which part of the card ends up being the pick, kind of like a logo.

This gadget works wonders and I have made some pretty neat picks.

It was very satisfying to turn that into four nice guitar picks, and it was funny when I dug into the little cigar box where I keep my picks, and pulled up one with my ex's face on it

He is notorious for losing his picks and this means he can make plenty

Greetings!We have received the Pick-a-Palooza and we LOVE it!

Never lose picks again!

you'll want to punch picks out of every piece of plastic you find

He told me that it solved this issue as it should, even to the point of amusing his fellow musicians (who also wanted him to knock out 'do it yourself' picks for them when they lost theirs too!) when he used an old Amex card to make some picks

You can punch picks out of old credit and gift cards which works great

Makes nice picks.
