So beautiful it's supernatural!

I've worked in offices all my life and most of the 3 hole punches I've used have been ugly at best. Many of them just won't break through more than a few pages. Some of them perforate imprecisely, leaving "hanging chads" on the paper. Some of them have adjustable punches that always slip out of adjustment. Some of them make an annoying squeaking sound, reminiscent of fingernails on a board. This Carl's 3 hole punch is amazing. So beautiful and well done! It works so smoothly! Hits so clean! It…

Simple and elegant

I'm so glad I bought this - I just wish I had done it sooner! I'm working on a project that has several printouts and folders that need to be kept. I got by with a longer punch with three holes and a lever for many years. It only punched 20 sheets and took up more space, and the smoke catcher kept falling off, spreading fumes all over the floor. The Carl 63040 punches much easier and better than my old one and takes up less space on the small shelf I have to keep it on. The paper instructions…

  • Easy to read control panel

Very easy for 25 sheets, pumps for 30+, love the fixed settings

PROS: - I like the FIXED POSITIONING of the punches and paper guide. The positioning places my 8-1/2x11 right in the middle of the bindings I use, the hole placement works great, not too close to the edge or the text of the prints themselves. Of course, there's no chance I or, in the case of the Post, others messed up some settings since they're not here. - It can easily cut through 40 sheets of 20-gauge carbon paper, but you have to press a little on the top of the handle from 30 sheets…

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Legacy model
