Review on 📎 Swingline Desktop Hole Punch, Adjustable Light Touch Metal Puncher for 2-7 Holes, Low Effort Paper Punch, Home School & Office Supplies, 20 Sheet Capacity, Black/Silver (74030) by Nicole Mcleod

The Swingline LightTouch Heavy Duty Punch is advertised to punch up to 40 sheets at a time. It barely punches through 30 sheets of 20-pound paper. As an official court clerk, I punch nearly 10,000 pages of court papers each month, and when my trusty electric paper punch died and after reading bad reviews about new electric paper punches, I decided to give the manual a try. I was looking forward to Being able to punch 40 sheets at once instead of 30. It is difficult to adjust between 3 holes (factory setting) and 2 holes; not that you can easily switch between projects. Punched holes are jagged and torn; does not provide a clean cut. Its design is impractical in the sense that you have to carefully place the paper between the punch body and the handle, making it difficult to punch thousands of sheets of paper quickly and productively. I am extremely dissatisfied with this punch and disappointed that Swingline makes such crappy office equipment.
