2.0 out of 5 stars Punch heads are not very durable, March 15, 2011

This review is from: CARL 63150 Model xhc-150 extra heavy-duty 150-sheet 3-hole punch, 9/32 holes, gray/blue (Kitchen)

I've had this unit for about 6 weeks and it worked well until a head broke today. I called the company thinking that 6 weeks was a little premature and they told me that the unit has a lifetime warranty on everything except the head and that the heads that cost $53.59 for a set of 3 should be replaced approximately every 100 punches. Had I known that I would not have purchased this unit. That is a very considerable addition to the cost of printing that was not disclosed anywhere pre-purchase. Furthermore, $53.59 is crazy, I was expecting them to say $6 or $7 for a set of 3. Yes when it's not broken it works fine, but they need to be more honest about the cost of operating this unit. Had it said anything about that in the description I'd give the unit a 5 but since they ignore it and pretend it isn't an issue they get a 2 and I really should give it a 1.

This punch is incredible. It is well made and well designed. It has replaceable punches, but the spacing is not adjustable.

Because of its design, it can punch however much paper will fit under the guide. For lower bond paper, that may well be 150 sheets. For 24lb paper, you may get less. I haven't tried over 100 sheets of 24lb paper.

I'm very happy with this purchase. It is not in the same class as an everyday black hand held punch. With that in mind, it is well worth the additional cost.

Not much to say except that this item does the job nicely. We use it on just a couple of reams every month, but the clean and easy result makes the device well worth having. We replaced an older similar punch from another maker, because the older punch had become terminally misaligned, causing it to ruin replacement cutting heads at an alarming rate.
