  • superior product
Size: 1 Each Style: 40 Sheet Pattern Name: Staples
In my view, there is no sense buying any other three-hole punch than this one if you have many holes to punch. Twenty five dollars or so--even $50 or more in a retail store--will get you a cheap, lightweight punch that will be no fun to use and will be inefficient, so your money is wasted there. This heavyweight punch will effortlessly cut holes in twenty pages at a go and do a lot more than that if you want, while flimsier punches demand a lot of effort just to cut five pages and will jam every time with ten, even if the manufacturer tries to tell you the punch will cut twenty (a cheap punch simply cannot cut twenty pages at a time). Who wants to spend much time punching holes or put much energy or thought into the task? And worse, who wants a fiddly punch the purchase of which will always be regretted? Electric punches cost a lot of money, will surely break untimely, and are not easier or more effective to use than this punch. This punch is a great value on Amazon. I saw it for $75 at Staples and bought it for $55 on here. Save your money buying cheap punches and never mind electric ones: just snag this workhorse on Amazon. It looks sharp, and it is sharp, and it actually is heavy duty and requires only a light touch. ... show more

This punch is so easy to use. I can put in quite a lot of paper at once and punches holes in them like it’s butter. Also easy to empty when needed. Well made exactly as described

  • Perfect Hole Punch; Needs Instructions
Size: 1 Each Style: 20 Sheet Pattern Name: Staples
If you are a teacher, work in a job where you regularly need to punch holes in papers, homeschool, etc. this is the hole puncher for you! It is fantastic quality! Pros: It arrives in a durable box which I kept for storage. The handle saves you so. much. effort! If you have any kind of issues with your wrists, arthritis, tendonitis, etc. this helps enormously! The item is extremely durable. The holes get punched with accuracy. Cons: I found punching much over ten pages (it advertises twenty pages) that the accuracy goes down. With about 10-13 pages the hole puncher is flawless. Also, there really should be instructions. The item does not come with them. It would help to know how to manually adjust the holes but especially how to unlock the item! It has a drawing on the back of the hole punch, but the diagram does not accurately reflect the unlocking mechanism process. Thank goodness for online videos! Suggestions for Usage: -To unlock, the diagram on the hole puncher says to slide the unlock mechanism to the left or right. However, you must push the handle down as you do so which is not indicated on the box anywhere. Once you figure it out, though, it is super easy. -For storage, lock the item back in place. Someone in my family forgot, and I had a challenging time getting the product back out of the box because the handle was wedged tight. -As mentioned above, the item works better punching about 10-13 pages at a time (in my opinion). -When you hole punch, push the lever all the way down firmly or the little round pieces do not get all the way pushed out of the papers. -If I don't empty the storage tray after about 70-80 pages of hole punching it works less efficiently. So, I would recommend emptying after at least about 80 pages. All-in-all this product is worth every penny! It is durable, easy to use (once it's clear how to utilize the features), saves time, and eases the wrist in repeated hole punching (has helped me to prevent inflammation). I hope this review helps someone!! ... show more

  • This one's a winner!
Size: 1 Each Style: 12 Sheet Pattern Name: Staples
I often print our recipes and add them to a large 3 ring binder. In addition, when planning trips I print out all of the confirmations, e-tickets, etc and place them in small 3 ring binders to take along, so a 3 hole punch is a needed item for my desk. I had a small 3 hole punch that could be put into the binder but that proved to be a waste of time and money. It was awkward to use and soon broke. Becoming frustrated with it and having quite a lot of papers waiting for holes, I looked here on Amazon and found the Swingline 12 sheet Light Touch Hole Punch. Woohoo! It works like a charm! It makes crisp clean holes (no hanging chads) and the punchers can be adjusted to different positions if you so desire. It is fast and easy to use, requiring very little effort to push down the handle, so even if you need to punch holes is lots of papers it doesn't cause hand fatigue. The device is stable, meaning it doesn't tip over during use. The paper dots are contained in the bottom, which slides open for emptying. It's an excellent product at a very reasonable price, plus with Amazon Prime it ships for free! What more could you ask for? This one's a winner! ... show more

Size: 1 Each Style: 20 Sheet Pattern Name: Staples

You Push Down on the Lever You then SLICE the piece BELOW the Lever to the Left or Right - To UNLOCK or LOCK To LOCK - you press down on the lever and SLIDE it back..... There are no - none - instructions - Just the little photos on the Piece You SLIDE Hope that helps (I almost has to return it before I figured it out) ... show more
