I'm glad I got the Big Bite for the times I need it, but there's no doubt that the regular Crop-a-Dile is the one I use 95% of the time, so unless you anticipate needing the extra reach, I'd definitely go for that. I discovered that you do need to use more pressure than the original Crop-a-dile to set your eyelets and brads.

I'd get the big bite (I've got the original and use it fairly often) if you plan to use it just at home- they're pretty hefty to carry around.I had difficulty lining up the punch mechanism as this design makes it more difficult to see the area. Because the Big Bite is strong, I realized I can use it to make the little Japanese Stab books I wrote a tutorial about awhile ago. This tool features a 6" punching reach that allows you to punch and set the accents at the centre of your 12" x 12" pages.

It does take some strength to slightly adjust the bite of the Big Bite so that they do line up but I was glad to find that it is a problem that is fairly easily solved. To place an eyelet or a fastener, it must be placed under pressure using the central part of the tool.

I don't use them decoratively too much but I use the hole punch part more often for brads, threading ribbons, tags etc.
