Crop A Dile question

Question for you guys...is the Crop A Dile really worth it? I honestly have no issues with my ClickIt. I really like it. But my Costco has the Crop A Dile pack (with a bunch of eyelets included) and there is only one left...so I'm tempted...
But I don't want to buy it and then proceed to keep using my ClickIt...kwim? And I don't want to buy it just CUZ there is only one left.
I guess I want to know WHY other people like it...
THANKS!

I love my Crop-a-dile, not sure what a Clickit is..so I am not sure if you want to replace it with the Cropadile.
The cropadile is limited as far as getting in the middle of the 12x12 layout though. That's when I use the good ol hammer and setter! (or the Big bite)

The ClickIt is sorta like the Silent Setter but I like it much better (still have a Silent Setter I don't use too...)
SO...I could use my Clickit for the places I can't get to with the Cropadile...
Hmmmm...
(Btw, no...they don't have the Big Bite. Maybe I should wait, maybe they'll get it.)

I have a cropodile bought it right before the big bite came out. I love it. It sets eyelets anysize so easy. If you craft its handy. It will cut a hole in metal, a CD, Chipboard page, pretty much anything I've tried so far. I wish I had the big bite so I could set eyelets in the middle of my page. You can get a 40%off coupon and buy it at Roberts or Micheals. I would get the big bite if I hadnt already bought the cropodile. They are worth it.

I love the Crop-a-Dial. I have cut through canvas like butter. It cuts through CDs without cracking the CD. So like everyone has said, it depends on how crafty you might be and what you would use it for. The big bite is great because it has a longer reach. But if you have that Clickit, then you have the flexibilty to cut where you need. So, what would you use the Crop-a-Dial for?

I have the big bite myself cuz I wanted to be able to reach anywhere on a page. I haven't used it alot since I do more digi than paper, but the few times I've used it I've had no problems. It goes through smooth and easy to use!

The clickit would probably NOT cut thru some stuff like CDs without breaking them though...

I love the Crop-a-Dile...but I want the Big Bite because of the reach issue. If you are going to spend the money, I would suggest getting the Big Bite.

i love my crop o dile. i use it for everything though. i use it for eyelets sure, but i also use it for making holes for other stuff that i need. extra hole in the cat collar, holes in the edges of my papers for albums, i used it on the plastic train bag that i made into a ribbon holder. i like it because i can do multi thicknesses without having to put the extra muscle into it. and with my bright pink handle i don't lose it as easy on my crop table.
