I bought this 3 hole punch to use in classes I'm taking towards certification. When using it for under 10 pages it's like cutting through butter. When you put in more than 10 pages it takes a lot more force to cut the holes. I also found that after about 75 pages I have to clear the puncher. Small bits of the paper jams it. It's very easy to empty the collection bin the bottom just pops off. I wish though that there had been somewhere that told you that the bottom has to be taken off to empty it. No directions were included. Overall I've found it meets my needs.
This hole puncher is supposed to be able to punch holes in documents up to 15 pages; however it really doesn't. I am in college and print off quite a bit of documents and three hole punching the documents is how I keep myself organized. It's very irritating and fusterating that this three hole puncher does not live up to it's advertisment. This hole puncher is able to punch holes through 10 pages but definately not 15! The price is ok just wish it would hole punch 15 pages rather than just 10 like it says it will.
I am very pleased with this. I had bought the cheaper Staples model about 2 years ago and it broke. The new one is made sturdier and it is a better value in the long run.
