The punch has a cheap plastic hold down button/slide that will break/wear off after using...only a matter of time. The store manager let me get another replacement one after mine failed. I have had the replacement one since Feb 2022...getting ready to fail again and so it will be another trip to the store. Buyer beware
I like this punch so far but I have only used it a few times since I bought it a month ago. I use this 3-Hole punch for increasing the size of my pre-punched 20-to-32 page reports. Alignment of pages works well and the effort needed to punch 28 pages is minimal. Clean-out of the collected waste is simple. I also like the handle lock-down feature: it allows for shallow height storage. I am concerned that the lock mechanism is plastic and that it may wear quickly or fail; that remains to be evaluated. So far so good!
Being used to my old hole punch which often got stuck with one or two papers this one was fantastic. I punched 10 15 up to 28 pages and got nice clean holes. Great for small businesses.
