Perfect for my office
2 years of regular use and it still works like a champ! It does have a smaller hole size and I wish it was a little larger but it does the trick! Always accurate and nice and durable – stays sharp and doesn’t stick!

Sturdy and Smooth Hole Punch
This Bostitch 3-hole punch is solid and works flawlessly. It punches through up to 12 sheets with ease and the rubber base keeps it from sliding around. The built-in tray makes cleanup simple. Feels like it will last a long time. Great addition to any home or office setup!

Great quality
Very sturdy and well-made. It punches through multiple sheets smoothly with little effort, and the holes are perfectly aligned every time. The adjustable paper guide is very handy, and the handle is comfortable to use. Great quality for office or home!

Durable
Very durable and heavy! We will probably never need to purchase a 3 hole punch again because of how well made this one is, works beautifully!

Works well
This little guy doesnāt look like much, but it punches above its weight, for sure (ha ha). Seriously, I am trying to organize a very disorganized parent, decades worth of stuff, and much of it was going into binders. I couldnāt find his punch in all the chaos and bought this one. Itās inexpensive, good quality, and has held up well to a significant amount of use.Why not five stars? Every so often, the uppermost hole doesnāt cut cleanly and gets slightly stuck, and I have to re-punch, which I donāt love doing. But itās not that common, and it is something Iāve seen with every type of punch Iāve ever used.As far as the people complaining there are no guides, there ARE. There is one at the back so the paper doesnāt go in too far, and thereās another at the bottomāif youāre holding the punch in your left hand, and the paper in your right, slide it in and then slide gently toward the bottom. There is a small lip there that tells you the perfect position to stop in for the paper to sit properly in the binder.If, like me, you get in a hurry and sometimes flip things around, it wonāt work as well. The holes wonāt line up where you want them if you do it with the punch in the right hand and the papers in the left. Thatās not the fault of the device, mind; itās a reflection on the orientation of the rings in a standard three hole binder. This is a one-way-for-proper-use device, but when you use it right, it works beautifully.Oh, and Iāve abused it as far as using more sheets than recommended at a time, because I donāt sit there and count them. It still does a great job, and the spring is still nice and springy.For the price point, totally worth it. Iād give it five stars if it didnāt get stuck every now and then, for sure.

Still punching holes accurately and easily
This hole punch is a must have for my home office. I have worked places where you cannot count on the accuracy of the holes that are punched but this one hasnāt failed me yet. Itās easy to punch holes and doesnāt hurt my hand when I press down on it. As far as hole punches go Iām glad itās not the stereotypical all over black in color one I have stared at for 25 years of my professional career. I like the silver color and itās all mine. So far Iāve had no durability issues with it as itās still doing its hole punching thing.

En opiniĆ³n personal, es muy practico y duradero. Hecha con piezas de excelente calidad, ofrece un corte muy limpio y el filo de los perforadores estĆ” bien definido. Por obvias razones nunca es recomendable apilar y perforar demasiadas hojas a la vez, a cualquier perforadora le hace daƱo, sin embargo, se puede perforar varias veces y con mucha simplicidad.
