Review on πŸ”§ Bira Craft Adjustable 6 Hole Punch, Black, 8 Sheet Capacity, Compact for A4/A5/A6/Agenda/Personal/Deskfax, Guaranteed Performance by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great, but MacGyvering was needed.

This punch is easy to set up for my Filofax as the punches move in two carriages of three. It feels solid and punches cleanly through card stock or 10 pages. Everything is fine; EXCEPT that the holes for my A5 Filofax are too deep in the paper. Standard holes on Filofax are centered 7mm from the edge of the paper. This product punches holes centered 10mm from the edge. It doesn't seem like a huge difference, but that extra 0.1 inch makes it difficult to turn pages for my Filofax with 15mm binding rings. The extra paper margins interfere with other pages within the binding rings. -Starter but too much space can be fixed. This requires a bit of MacGyvering. The problem was that the paper can be pushed too far into the die carriages. So I wanted something to slide the carriages around to keep the paper from going too I found two small Victorinox Classic SD Swiss Army Knife toothpicks to fit perfectly. They rest against the sides of each punch cart and reduce the depth to which punch paper can be inserted. They fit snugly and almost look like they were made for that purpose. Now I can't tell the difference between the original Filofax paper and the paper I perforated.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Big and Bulky
