During my working years, I had access to a heavy duty commercial comb binding machine and used it weekly. Now that I'm retired, I wanted something similar for personal use but didn't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a machine I would only need occasionally. So, I bought the Amazon Basics machine for less than $50, thinking that if it didn't work out I wouldn't be out much money. However, I found that it works very well! It weighs perhaps a third of my old office machine (or less!), so it's obviously not as durable, but (with care and a little patience) it does the job. Because it's light weight, I don't try to punch out it's rated volume of 12 sheets (maybe 4 or 5); I take extra time to make sure they're properly aligned before punching; and in the binding operation I collate 8 or 10 pages at a time onto the comb. But, as I said, it does the job, and the finished product looks identical to those I produced in the office. If you've never used a binding machine before, check out the process on YouTube or on Amazon's user videos, because the instructions printed on the machine are anything but clear. I've had this machine on my Wish List for months. I only wish I'd purchased it sooner.

For this homeschooling mom, it works!!! I spent $40+ (not including the 4 cab rides I had to take to them and back) at the UPS store last year in just binding. I had the good sense to print my stuff first. SMH, I vowed never to do that again especially since the girl miss punched and mess some up, which I noticed way into our school year. But back to my review. This is ready and easy to use right out the box and all I had to do is attach the handle. Thank you Amazon basics! Choosing the paper size was a no brainer since they have it labeled "letter size" and all I had to do was move the marker over to it. Again, thank you Ab! It punched my tester sheet nicely so I went to town and punched and comb bound our math curriculum. It was kind of a smooth punching process. It says 12 sheets at a time and I kind of tried to stick to that dictate. No guess work on the positioning of the pages to be punched. Just insert sheets until you can't go any further to insure edges don't get torn. Ummm, not to teach bad habits or anything but I punched my plastic cover sheet without thinking about it. I had it layered under my cardstocky back cover and it punched through. Not completely clean on the plastic but well enough that, holes were punched with maybe 2/3 spots that still had the top part that you had to pop off or snip. Tried it with just the plastic aannd will never do that again. My baby said "heck no lady! Ain't built for that". So, maybe not do that, lol....binding part was easy too and I used 2" comb binding. It's light but stays put on flat surface. Prayerfully it makes it through all the other work I have lined up. Pretty good value for my money. Now I feel like I accomplished something today, I'm going back to bed, it's Sunday and it just arrived so. I had to try it.

If you need to bind up a report every once in awhile, this will do the trick. But every time you pull the lever to punch holes, you'll swear you're going to snap the lever right off. Punch fewer pages at a time than you think you should.

Yes it’s cheap, but not easy to use, you can punch 3 pages of card stock at the most otherwise it won’t work and if you buy the clear plastic sheets if will not work properly

I used it for making directories for a club.

When I put the comb in and pull it out, one side has longer slots than the other. That makes it difficult to get the pages in line for binding. I wonder if this is just a problem with my machine or with all of these machines. ON THE GOOD SIDE, the machine is sturdy and makes good, even hole punches. (I only do 5 pages at a time and am very careful to see that they are lined up correctly. ON THE BAD SIDE, there are zero instructions on how to use the comb and binding. I finally found a video in the reviews that was in another language but I could see how someone was using it. I did not give this a good review for that reason - instructions are needed, especially for the binding. Hard to believe that instructions are given on how to put the handle on and how to hole punch but not on how to bind the books!

If you're an organizer or team type person, this is helpful. I'm the secretary of an HOA. I want everyone to get good information. If there is a sloppy presentation that's stapled, or a nicely organized and bound presentation, which do you think is the one that people will read and pay attention to? One more question: which of these will be tossed or shredded and which one will be kept? It's pretty easy to use.

If you enjoy being frustrated and not having products work as advertised, this is the machine for you! I realize this product is inexpensive, so I assumed it wasn't going to be the best available. I only needed to punch a few sheets at a time, so I wasn't worried about it's advertisement of being light duty. Punching through paper is just fine, 2-3 sheets at time. When I tried to punch through the plastic cover or the heavier duty back cover that most projects require, it was infuriating! I ruined 3 plastic covers and 2 back covers b/c the machine would not release the item. When I was able to finally rip it out, it tore the covers making them unusable. Again, I know this is a cheaper end product so I wasn't expecting a lot, but I did expect to punch one single cover. Definitely wouldn't recommend!
