Bostitch Office EZ Squeeze Reduced Effort 2-Hole Punch, 20 Sheets, Locking Handle, Silver (2310)

Paper Pros two-hole punch works well, cuts the paper crisply and cleanly. Especially for file folders with the two-hole clasp at the top, this makes filing in them a breeze. It beats the little hand-held one hole punch Id been using. The product looks neat, although mine has gotten somewhat scuffed with use. It is also lightweight which helps make it a mobile part of my office. I can pull it out when I need it and put it away in a drawer, taking up relatively little space when not needed. I think this is ideal for a low-volume office of two-hole punches. Most of my binders are the three-ring, but this suits my needs well for the less-used two hole. Enjoy!

My office needed a two-hole punch, so I figured Id grab this one for free off the Amazon Vine offer, leave it at work, ask my staff how they liked it, and review it, thus saving a little bit out of my office-supply budget. Response from my staff was very favorable, with all three people who tried it saying its sharpness and design made it much easier to use than traditional models -- and also saying that they wanted one. Comparing it myself to the traditional models we have in the office, I could see why: it definitely bites through paper more cleanly and with less effort. It does make a bigger hole than were used to, which makes pages float around in the binder a bit, but so far that hasnt caused any problems. What has caused problems is that instead of saving the cost of a single two-hole punch by getting this item from Amazon, I am now in a position where the only way to keep peace in the office is to buy one of these for each of the other two folks who want one. So much for my brilliant budget-saving idea!

Exactly what I was looking for. Great quality

The small base doesn’t give much to press down on

This is a well designed and though out punch. Its solid, with a metal body and handle, and locks closed. Why on earth would they include a flimsy plastic paper guide, when the rest of the construction is so great? One reviewer was concerned that the guide could break if the punch dropped. Mine didnt even make it to the door; the guide came pre-broken for my convenience. At least this way I get to return it instead of having it break after the refund window. The punch is pretty useless without the guide, as its what enables you to punch the holes in the right position to attached sheets to a fastener file folder. I suppose that I could upgrade to the 40 sheet model, which has a metal guide, but its overkill for my needs and takes up more space on my desk. Bummed.

Works amazingly! I can punch a lot of papers at once with ease!

thank you.

Not what I purchased. Doesn’t like the image of when I purchased it at all

This is a well-built decent product that will stand the test of time. I have arthritis, so I was very interested in the easy, low-force punch claim. This is true if you are punching 5 sheets or less. The capacity for this punch is 20 sheets. I tried to punch that many but hurt my hand with the excessive force to get the punch to go through. And I didnt think the holes cut as cleanly with 20 sheets as they did with 5 sheets. It was also very easy to punch at 5 sheets. The low-force claim is true for that volume of paper. There is a slide button lock to keep the unit closed and make it shorter for storage. A great feature. When closed up, the unit is approx. 4.75 wide x 4 deep x 1.75 high. For paper fitting, there is a plastic ruler guide that slides out on the right-hand side of the unit. There is a stop and notation at 8.5 and another at 11. This would allow you to center the holes properly based on which side of a standard sheet you are punching. I found it easy to use this ruler guide and get everything to line up properly without fuss. I didnt find that the ruler was flimsy as mentioned by others. Its not metal, but it is a decent weight of plastic. I found the emptying tray a little hard to figure out without any instructions in the box. There is a picture on the box that shows emptying and I fumbled around with the unit for about 15 seconds to figure it out. There is a piece of hard plastic that forms the base of the punch. There is a thumb-notch flap that you push down towards the floor and a joint in the plastic allows you open a hatch in the back where the punches can be emptied. I found it relatively easy to get the punches out without scattering them all over the floor. I hope the joint in the plastic holds up after repeated bends - if it ever cracks youre out of business with keeping the punches contained. Overall, a well-constructed product that I would highly recommend for home or office use.

The PaperPro 2-Hole Punch is a fairly well-made product. My only criticism is that the guide is flimsy plastic. Otherwise its fairly sturdy. Perfect for punching reports for filing papers in fastener file folders such as those used in doctors offices. Around the home, I havent found much practical use. The PaperPro seems to have no problem handling a stack of papers and works smoothly and effortlessly. Very nice that it has a bin to collect the confetti.
