On my third hole punch in two years. I kept trying to buy a better one each time to avoid it breaking and just having to buy a new one again. Finally I bought the staples brand and so far this hole punch works by far the best; punching the most amount of paper without a struggle and not jamming up with the hole punches at all. When you press it down it feels like butter- all the way up to 30 pages! That's a whole classes' worth of handouts. Finally feel like I got my money's worth.
