Made of Metal!

The unit is made of metal except for bottom cover (to hold punch-outs). You cannot adjust the position of the holes. The method to lock the handle down after use is unclear although this is a "feature" listed on the box. Force needed to punch a stack of paper is low. The "$10 OFF" (BIG print) sign on shelf was two part - $5 off at the checkout $5 off by applying for rebate via mail or online (details in small print). Too complicated - customers want the full discount at checkout. Would be interesting to know how many apply for the mail-in rebate - I bet low. That's the game Staples is playing.
This product performs well as advertised and a nice feature is the ability to affix the handle to the apparatus when not in use -- a plus for people who like equipment to take up little space.
We had delt for years with a three hole punch having to readjust the middle hole punch button every time we used it. Often we had to take a "hand puncher" and redo the middle hole! If the paper was being prepared for a presentation or to give to a group it looked "unprofessional". FINALLY in frustration we went to our favorite office supply store to purchase a new one. A wonderful Staples employee who was usually in a more technical area of the store helped us locate the display area for hole punchers and guided us in our decision of which to purchase. Once home we immediately "put it to the test". It performed beautifully cleanly punching through a stack of 10 pages with ease! Not only do we HIGHLY recommend this item but also for those who have not made Staples their #one choice for office supplies we would recommend "checking out" the knowledgeable helpful "always with a smile" staff!

Purchased this for my daughter in grad school. She receives pages and pages of printouts everyday which is puts into a binder. This paper punch has saved her much time as you can punch a great number of sheets at once. This has become a great time saver.
