2 out of 5 stars Inexpensive But Flimsy   September 19, 2004
Robert I. Hedges
16 out of 17 found this review helpful

As a graduate student doing research for my thesis, I have a lot of paper to punch and put in binders. I bought this punch mostly because it was inexpensive and fit in my desk drawer. While it isn't totally useless, it is flimsy and prone to jams. It will routinely take only about four or five pages at a time without jamming (it depends on paper thickness), and once jammed it is sometimes hard to get the paper out of the punch without ripping. A second problem is that of chads. Until the 2000 election, I didn't know what the little partially detached pieces of paper not cut by the punch were called, but now I am unhappy to report that, thanks to this punch, I too have problems with hanging chads!

Swingline makes a lot of great office products, but if I had to do it over again, I would buy a better grade of punch. Unless you only have one page to punch here and there, this punch is not really up to the job.



4 out of 5 stars Writers do a lot of hole punching, too   July 14, 2007
Rosemary Thornton (Norfolk, VA)
I have three of these hole punchers (long story, but has to do with misplacing the *&^% things). The Swingline is, as the other reviewer stated, not the best one of the bunch. The hole-cutters aren't sharp and it takes an unreasonable amount of effort to punch holes in bundles of five pages or more.

The other problem I've had is that the punched-hole-catcher (that plastic base that holds all the cut holes) has a nasty habit of falling off the bottom and then you have the tedious chore of picking up 5,391 tiny dots of white paper from the floor.

Another small note: It wasn't until I'd owned this puncher for some time that I inadvertantly discovered that the three cutters have a thumbscrew on their underside, to hold them in place. When these cutters wiggle loose, you have to stop and tighten those thumbscrews. I nearly threw the thing out one day after a paper jam, when I noticed that one of the three cutters was wobbly and loose (and hence, no longer working correctly). Once it was tightened up, it worked much better.

Like the other reviewer said, Swingline has many good products but this isn't one of their best. I also have the Office Depot version of this product (which is cheaper) and in my opinion, better.



5 out of 5 stars Perfect   March 27, 2008
Susan Palmer (Woodruff, SC)
This is perfect for what I'll use it for. Not very heavy and punches great holes in the sheets.
