Great gift for musicians!

Okay, not PC related, and I'm in no way affiliated with this company, but I know there are some musicians/guitarists on here that would love this little gem! I've been having a blast with this thing, cutting up old credit cards/gift cards.

The Pick Punch - what a cool gadget. It comes in several sizes/styles. The model I chose punches picks to the size a bit bigger than a quarter. In this size, I was able to get five picks out of one credit card. I am so impressed with it that I'm going to order a couple more in different sizes. BTW, there are cheap knock-offs on the market with inferior blades & build quality - if you want one for yourself or a gift for a family member, I suggest you get the one & only, "PP".

I watched a few vids comparing the knock-offs & this one - no comparison.

Oh, and sorry for the low-res pics. My smart phone doesn't have the greatest camera...

That's really cool. Added it to one of my Amazon wish lists. Christmas is right around the corner!

Interesting..never saw one to stamp your own.
How to you find they feel? You grind down the edges? I always like Dunlop Tortex picks..the old turtle shells.

Depending on the kit you purchase, it comes with a sanding/contour block, or you could use your own block. The higher end kits come with a bunch of extras, I figured I didn't need all that stuff. I do smooth down the edges. Sometimes I like flexible picks, sometimes I use a stiffer one.

A couple of years ago, I got a bunch of free promo gift cards/other plastic stock, all different thicknesses for an unrelated project which I never used. So now I've got enough plastic to make probably 500 + picks, lol.
