Fisckar Punches are made for scrapbooking. They are meant for cutting paper. Perhaps the paper you are trying to cut was too thick, thus the need to use both hands. Just wanted to give you a heads up, so you will not be disappointed when you get the new punch.

It's listed as the x-lg hex punch on their website, and each side is 1" long. ($18) I tried my punch on all weights of card stock, and it took 2 hands to punch through some thin scratch paper. Here's hoping my replacement arrives soon and I can punch templates!
