Swingline3 Hole Punch, 20 Sheet Capacity Three Hole Puncher 3 Ring, Adjustable 2-7 Hole Paper Punch, LightTouch Low Effort, Black & Silver (74030)

This is a great machine.... It lines up the paper easily, has a strong handle. If I could improve anything, I would add a stronger latch for the page size adjuster... I currently only use it as a 11" puncher, so I just tape it to this one so it doesn't slide.

Perfect for the classroom! Easy on the hands and easy cleanup! My favorite tool to get things done!

I often print our recipes and add them to a large 3 ring binder. In addition, when planning trips I print out all of the confirmations, e-tickets, etc and place them in small 3 ring binders to take along, so a 3 hole punch is a needed item for my desk. I had a small 3 hole punch that could be put into the binder but that proved to be a waste of time and money. It was awkward to use and soon broke. Becoming frustrated with it and having quite a lot of papers waiting for holes, I looked here on Amazon and found the Swingline 12 sheet Light Touch Hole Punch.Woohoo! It works like a charm! It makes crisp clean holes (no hanging chads) and the punchers can be adjusted to different positions if you so desire. It is fast and easy to use, requiring very little effort to push down the handle, so even if you need to punch holes is lots of papers it doesn't cause hand fatigue. The device is stable, meaning it doesn't tip over during use. The paper dots are contained in the bottom, which slides open for emptying.It's an excellent product at a very reasonable price, plus with Amazon Prime it ships for free! What more could you ask for? This one's a winner!

I understand that plastic is cheaper than metal & helps keep cost down. Knowing that, I’m just careful with it.I do appreciate being able to punch more pages while having less wrist strain!Adjusting it is a bit of a pain (minus a star) & only comes with 3 hole punchers. So if you want to do paper with 5-7 holes, you’ll need to either make additional purchases (I have not looked if they sell replacements or not) or skip this model. For straight 3 hole punching (which we need a lot of here), it’s a dream & for our purposes is great.

This punch is so easy to use. I can put in quite a lot of paper at once and punches holes in them like it’s butter. Also easy to empty when needed. Well made exactly as described

Works Great!

In my view, there is no sense buying any other three-hole punch than this one if you have many holes to punch. Twenty five dollars or so--even $50 or more in a retail store--will get you a cheap, lightweight punch that will be no fun to use and will be inefficient, so your money is wasted there. This heavyweight punch will effortlessly cut holes in twenty pages at a go and do a lot more than that if you want, while flimsier punches demand a lot of effort just to cut five pages and will jam every time with ten, even if the manufacturer tries to tell you the punch will cut twenty (a cheap punch simply cannot cut twenty pages at a time). Who wants to spend much time punching holes or put much energy or thought into the task? And worse, who wants a fiddly punch the purchase of which will always be regretted? Electric punches cost a lot of money, will surely break untimely, and are not easier or more effective to use than this punch. This punch is a great value on Amazon. I saw it for $75 at Staples and bought it for $55 on here. Save your money buying cheap punches and never mind electric ones: just snag this workhorse on Amazon. It looks sharp, and it is sharp, and it actually is heavy duty and requires only a light touch.

I'm giving this a one star only because as other reviews have written, . . . this item came with ABSOLUTELY ZERO INSTRUCTIONS and I purchased it because I need it a seven whole puncher but it only came adapted to punch three holes with NO additional accessories to adjust it to a seven whole punch..Apparently I need to buy the additional accessories accessories to make it punch seven holes, still with NO instructions AT All and I could not find ANYTHING on YouTube..I'm curious to know how there are so many positive, high star reviews for this item when I can't even figure out how to use it on YouTube or NO instructions were included whatsoever..I'm very, very disappointed at the inconvenience of having NO instructions - NOR the additional accessories to upgrade it for 7 holes when I needed this so desperately so quickly..Can anyone please help me or guide me to being able to use this and get whatever accessories I need to make it a 7 hole punch as well as finding instructions on how to use it?.Thank you in advance.
