Not as adjustable as the other two punchers and a bit more temperamental.

I bought 2 different two punches of the same brand but different models and this one didn't live up to expectations. Due to the plastic paper attached, adjusting to the sheet size was more difficult. Would return and exchange for another model with a METAL sheet gauge if I could. I wish I had noticed the differences earlier.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some errors

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not recommended.

Decent quality, but. It has two major design flaws. 1) The paper stopper is not flat (completely vertical). It tilts up and back making it difficult to properly load/align fewer than 6 sheets of paper at a time. Almost a fatal error, IMHO. 2) The stroke of the lever requires its complete failure (completely horizontal) to punch holes cleanly. Therefore, in my opinion, it is not ergonomic and not convenient to use.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Excellent goods. Well packed.

Very good product. Robust and does its job perfectly. The only problem is that the bottom has no grip so it slides when you use it. However, this can easily be remedied by using it on a non-slip surface or installing non-slip pads. Also, I don't care about the format of the reversing lever, ie. The striking mechanism is located on the back or rear of the lever. I would have preferred the conventional version - but that's not a criticism of the product, because I didn't notice it in the picture…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure
