3.0 out of 5 stars Acceptable Overall, November 8, 2003

My Swingline Model 20 3 Hole Punch is now about six months old and has been generally acceptable. It was offered for a very competitive price and has a lifetime warranty, which I may soon explore. The adjustments work smoothly and the paper guides are faultless. The one area of operation where I have been encountering recurring problems is in cleanliness of cuts. In other words, one of the punches leaves hanging chads on paper. (Maybe I should refer the matter to the Florida Board of Elections.)

In general the chad problem can be minimized, but not altogether eliminated, by punching five or more sheets of paper at a time; one or two are guaranteed to not get clean punches.

Overall, I would say that the machine is satisfactory, but I probably wouldn't buy it again knowing of it's proclivity to produce the always troublesome chads.

Overall the product performs well for the price paid. The only negatives are that sometimes the paper catches on the individual hole punch edges when being inserted into the punch and there is a little too much movement back and forth when the paper is inside the hole punch. It seems like there is about 1/4 inch play between the end stops. The next paper punched can be off by that amount from top to bottom.

2.0 out of 5 stars Can't punch more than 5 sheets of paper, July 14, 2007

I've had this hole punch for over a year now, but only use it once a week or so. You can't punch more than 5 sheets of paper at a time because the metal parts get stuck. Your papers will get jammed in the hole punch and you'll have to tear them to get them out. Works great if you want to punch <5 sheets at a time. Otherwise, don't buy this product.
