Yes it's punches 7 holes. Five or less pages at a time. Since we need the funtionality I won't return it, but I'm displeased with the effort it takes to punch, the effort it took to set up the seven spots (all the punches came from the factory/story all bunched up on one end), and mostly displeased with how you can only punch about five pages at a time.

I ordered the Desk size punch directly from Daytimer, thinking surely it wouldn't be as bad as the reviews say. It's worse! Even punching 2 pages of regular office weight (20lb) paper, I have to repunch several times, and usually the pages get stuck in the punch and I have to rip them out. The holes are NEVER punched all the way, leaving me with the job of pulling off the little donut hole pieces, which also tend to scatter on the floor instead of collecting inside the punch reservoir. This thing is so bad I'm ready to pony up for the Franklin Covey punch and use this one as a door stop.

Because the way it's designed (the edge is closed), it only punches sheet that are the same size as the ones used in a daytime or smaller. If you want just a little large sheet you will not be able to do it.
The quality does not impress me either... On the first test punch I tried, it got jammed even though it was just one sheet of paper.
I would return it if I would have bought it at a local merchant, but it's not worth the hassle of boxing it and going to the post office.
My opinion is: this punch is worth about $5.00

I wanted a 6 hole punch, thought adjustable would be great. Can't get the six hole to line up for my Day-Timer. Not a good thing.

What a load of rubbish!!!! Only punches one sheet at a time, more than that and it gets stuck. I have spent more time trying to get the paper out of it. I should have listened to the reviews before I spent my hard earned money on such a rubbish product. I will definitely be returning it.

I have owned one of these for several years and it gets the job done. But too big and an obvious retro-fit from a larger three hole punch.
After awhile the punches began to jam and it finally stopped punching completely through the center holes.
I ended up buying the Franklin Cover 7-hole punch and it is way better. I would recommend this one:
Frnkln Cvy 4-Sheet Seven-Hole Punch For Classic Style Day Planner Pages, Metal

The punch works, although when I received it, the punch-holes were not lined up with the Daytimer pattern. I had to adjust them. They should have come already adjusted.
