Bostitch Office EZ Squeeze One-Hole Punch, 10 Sheet Capacity, Lightweight, Gray/Blue (2402)

Works perfectly. Just as described

Its light and works well and it doesnt hurt your hands like the metal hole punchers do. No need to apply strong pressure.

Just what I wanted!

There is a coffee shop at my work that you can use punch cards. She’s gone through so many “metal” hole punches that have broken, mainly in the trap part that holds the chads, but also the spring or the guide part covering the hole. I was concerned about buying this one because it’s plastic, but it had decent reviews and thought I’d take a chance. It’s lightweight, which worried me, but it’s very comfortable in the hand. There is plenty of space for the chads so you don’t have to empty it as often, which helps with the wear and tear on that part. The hole punch itself is strong and goes through two card-stock type cards together easily, with no noticeable additional effort on the squeeze. One adjustment is being able to see exactly where the hole will punch. Traditional metal punches are easy to see from the side exactly where it will punch because of the metal piece sticking out. You have to look from the front on this one, which is an adjustment, but after a few times you get used to it and can be just as accurate. I’m a little concerned about how it will stand up to multiple drops on the hard marble floor or counter, but so far it’s handled drops, possible because it’s so light. I’ll update if that ends up being a problem. I’m sort of an older-style-is-better traditionalist, and so I really wanted a metal hole puncher. I’d been looking at antique stores for a sturdier metal hole punch but none of them had chad catches, which was a requirement. This one seemed cheap because it’s plastic on the outside but I am surprisingly pleased with it. I recommend that you give it a chance if you are tired of the metal ones that are cheaply made breaking.

Works great!!

As a hole punch, it does just that. However, this product is advertised delivering a 9/32 hole, which it unfortunately does not. I already have a three hole puncher that punches 1/4 holes, and rather than purchase another three hole puncher with larger holes, I thought I could get away with this single hole punch. When the product arrived, not only was it not grey and black as pictured, but it was hot pink. This set off a few warning bells, so I started carefully examining the product packaging. The information on its packaging did not indicate the size hole the puncher produced, so I opened it anyway, hoping it would be true to its Amazon title. When I tested it out and measured the hole, its diameter was only 1/4. Incredibly disappointed, but I guess thats what you get for $5.

The punch is comfortable. The actual punch that comes down is formed in a way that it cuts through the paper instead of trying to brute force punch its way through the paper. This makes for cleaner holes. It also has a great collection apparatus built in to the punch so you can empty the punches later.

Was not what I had hoped it would do. The product probably works well 4 what it was designed 4.

broke after first time use, filed claim with manufacturer, no response

Bought one for a project at home and want another to keep in my classroom. Just a delightful little tool.
