Bostitch Office EZ Squeeze Heavy Duty 3-Hole Punch for Home Office & School, 40-Sheet Capacity, One-Touch Reduced Force, Sleek Silver Design

This is a simple, sturdy punch which lacks most of the "bells and whistles" of its competitors to achieve "HOLE PUNCH GLORY". I gave its predecessor away due to multiple PROBLEM AREAS: 1. Competitor was capable of "adapting to different paper sizes with a SLIDING BOTTOM FEATURE which was always so LOOSE as to require constant readjustment--and not a few jobs which had to be redone; the dreaded "double hole" problem. This unit does not allow adjustment in that manner, and so IT CANNOT FAIL TO ACHIEVE ITS PURPOSE. 2. Competitor's "hole positions" could change by sliding pieces along a rod on left side--but lack of uniformity arose because it was not easy to always make the chosen hole position exactly equal. This unit does not allow such (unwelcome) "adaptability". 3. Competitor base, where all those tiny little punched out circles were stored, WOULD INVARIABLE COME LOOSE, scattering those "cute tiny circles" all over my desk, and floor, and papers. This has a STURDY base, which will not "accidentally" come loose. "Fit and finish" of the Bostitch product is excellent. 4. Competitor was also rated for "40 pages", but was so engineered that this required slamming my hand down on the lever, threatening to break the unit. This one has a kind of "two-part" lever action: (a) push hard to contact, then (b) increased resistance is met and harder force required. THIS WILL ACCOMMODATE MORE THAN 40 pages, but I do not recommend it. "NO POUNDING REQUIRED" here. If you are only punch up to 20 pages, you can do so EASILY while seated. If you are going for 40 or so, you will need to stand up and put your weight onto level. However, you will never feel like you are abusing the device. 5. Competitor had a recurrent problem with those teeny, tiny little punched out circles, which tended to ACCUMULATE between far left margin of punch and the rod creating the hole so that papers were pushed out from left margin, again, requiring, at times, the "double hole" approach--unsightly and frustrating. Simply made, sturdy, attractive, and easy to use, this is one piece of office equipment that fulfills my needs PERFECTLY. If you want all that "adaptability" and use for anything other than three hole (or just two "top hole") jobs, buy a (cheap) competitor, and cry, cry, cry as it fails you again and again--or spend hundreds on a professional level punch. Thank you Bostitch: GOOD PRICE; SUPERIOR FUNCTION; HANDSOME APPEARANCE, what's not to love?

I purchased this for use in my 8th grade classroom. I absolutely love it! The fact that it can hold 50 sheets to be punched at once is wonderful! It has been very durable, easy to keep on my counter, especially when secured in the lock down position. The alignment of the punches seems to be perfect for three ring binders. And it is sharp enough that it works very well going through 50 sheets of paper!

This hole punch is a game changer for organizing my college binders. It’s heavy-duty, easy to use, and really does make punching through stacks of paper effortless. The “EZ Squeeze” feature saves my hands, and it feels sturdy enough to last through years of use. Great quality and worth every penny!

I ordered this one because another person in our office had the same style and I liked theirs. It works as intended, easy to use.

Absolutely the best paper punch I've ever had. Punches multiple pages at the same time. Very easy to use.

This Bostitch EZ Squeeze 3-hole punch has been a great upgrade for my home office. It really lives up to the “reduced force” feature punching through stacks of paper is so much easier than traditional hole punches, even when working with thicker documents. It handles a good amount of pages at once (up to around 40), which saves a lot of time instead of doing smaller batches. The one-touch squeeze design feels smooth and doesn’t strain your hand, which is a big plus if you’re using it frequently. The silver finish also looks clean and professional on a desk, and it doesn’t take up too much space despite being heavy duty. It feels sturdy and well-built, like it will last a long time. Overall, this is a reliable and efficient tool that makes organizing paperwork quick and painless.

I was worried about this 3 hole punch because i wanted a heavy duty one with a metal lever so i could apply a lot of pressure and punch through large stacks of paper. I was pleasantly surprised that even though this has a kind of wing flappy thing instead of a nice metal lever, it still held up to a lot of pressure and cut through large stacks. The other thing i was worried about with this design is if the paper would move too much as i applied the downward force, but it really hasnt been an issue even though this does not have much in the way of a border to hold the paper in place - just tiny little bumps. Of course an expensive one with a metal lever and borders to hold the paper in place would be better, but is it worth the cost? For home use i would say no. For business use i would probably spend the extra couple hundred for a heavier duty one. This one is probably fine for most people though.

This hole punch is easy to use and handles large stacks of paper effortlessly. It really does require less force, and the build quality feels solid. Perfect for office or home use when you need to punch through a lot of pages at once. Pros: Easy to use with minimal effort Handles up to 40 sheets cleanly Sturdy, well-made design Cons: None so far Overall: A reliable, heavy-duty hole punch that works smoothly and makes punching thick stacks of paper easy.

Necesitaba ordenar mis carpetas para clases y lo había intentado con otra perforadora antes, pero sólo podía perforar muy pocas hojas y era fácil que se desalinearan. Con esta perforadora terminé en poco tiempo.

Fixed paper guide for US Letter paper only , DO NOT buy this if you use A4 paper-it punches in the wrong place & can't adjust the paper guide - it is fixed in place - I wish this was made clear in the description :(

Bardzo dobra jakość. Format US LETTER.

Nowhere does the description say this is NOT for A4 paper. If you put A4 paper into it, the holes will not be centered on the page. Overall it is a well built unit.

This thing is so easy to use, and works like a dream. Lining up the paper is a cinch, and no force is required to punch. The hole alignment is accurate. It did take me a minute to figure out how to unlock the handle, but there's a little diagram on one side; nice to be able to store it away more compactly if necessary. Solid construction, worth every penny.
