Through the years I've purchased or used various hole punches. Between getting jammed and being a bit difficult to use (hard to be sure sometimes if the paper was in all the way sometimes resulting in holes not quite the same from stack to stack) I was hoping to get my hands on a somewhat inexpensive version of a "bigger" hole punch to counteract the issues. This hole punch is easy to use effective accurate and relatively inexpensive. It made a big job a bit easier for a seminar I was leading. No excessive force and not one jam.
