3.0 out of 5 stars Okay for a while, October 9, 2007

This hole punch worked fairly well for a while (perhaps 1500 pages of punches), though I was never very successful when approaching 20 pages. Since then, one of the punch heads has needed to be pushed by hand toward the rest of the unit while the punch is being operated. And now I am unable to get one of the other heads to retract; hence, the punch is unusable until I replace that head or buy a better unit.
The handle is nice, however.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worked for a while, then failed, September 20, 2011

This review is from: Swingline LightTouch High Capacity Desktop Punch, Adjustable Holes, 20 Sheet Capacity, A7074030 (Office Product)

This hole puncher worked for about 6 months and then failed. The outer puncher's spring popped out, leaving the punch to be ineffective (would not go back up after a punch due to the spring being out and jammed in). I suggest trying the Carl or Sparco brands of hole punchers if you are looking for increased guarantee of durability over the long run. I am sure this defect is not 100% prevalent but this problem does not seem to be uncommon so I would stay away from these.

We use this triple hole punch at my office and there have been no complaints to date. The design works well and I have not experienced any occasions where it has failed to punch through the pages inserted. Punches through heavier stock nicely as well.
