4.0 out of 5 stars Gets The Job Done -- Great Value, September 26, 2009

This 3-hole puncher gets the job done for light hole punching needs and for the price, it's a great value. With most 3-hole punchers, you can adjust the placement of the holes by "sliding" the punchers at your desired customized location. This one, however, provides fixed spots where you can't slide the punchers but must use one of the predefined holes. But I think this works better because you won't encounter the unwanted situation of a puncher moving to an incorrect location as is common among the slide-able punchers. Plus, how often do you use a 3-hole puncher for other than the standard 3 hole positions you find in a 3-ring binder? Also, this 3-hole puncher is very sturdy as the important parts are made out of metal and should last for a long time. The only complaint and the reason why I won't rate this 5-stars is that the punched holes are a bit closer to the edge of the paper than ideally desired. I measured the distance between the edge of the paper and where the hole starts to equal 5 to 6 milimeters (a little less than 1/4 inch).

Granted, this isn't for punching holes in thick stacks of paper, but I wouldn't take a star off for that. For light-duty (like 1 - 8 pieces of paper - which is what I wanted it for) I think it is perfect! It is very sturdy and punches clean. Easy to empty and is even adjustable should you want to punch 2 holes or 3 holes spaced differently. For general home use, it's the best punch for the money I have ever owned. If this sounds like what you want to use a 3-hole punch for, then I highly recommend it.

I bought this three-hole punch to use in my classroom over a year ago and haven't had any problems with it. I really like the rubber bottom that comes off and makes it easy to dispose of the confetti. The only major drawback is that it's only designed to punch about ten pages of paper at a time, so if you have a major project to get punched it can take awhile to do. Other than that, it's a fine three-hole punch.
