This product is worth buying

This Product is an easy to use sturdy product. Although the down sides are that it is sort of a pain to adjust the wholes. It's best to buy this if your punching wholes in mostly standard 8.5 by 11 sheets of paper.
I tried to use this product nearly every day for school work. It jammed almost every time. I had to dig out the jammed paper with a knife. I had to rip out my papers and re-print them because they were ripped. This is the most ineffective cheap hole puncher I have ever used. I do not recommend it.
I saw 15 sheet capacity and thought that it would be great as a portable solution. It works fine except that if any part of the edges of the paper bundle you are trying to hole punch the paper just won't go in fully leaving you with shallow holes or holes on the edge of the papers. Frustrating at best. I learned to really tap the paper bundle on a tabletop to ensure everything is aligned and then I place them into the hole punch in an upside-down position which allowed me to see more clearly if the paper bundle was going in fully. I guess I would humbly recommend buying the next one up and take some paper in with you and try the different models. I feel like I wasted my money but my technique works adequately for my very occasional use. Standing on one foot and singing an Irish tune helps. PS... It wouldn't let me score it any lower than 5 stars which isn't cool. I would give it 2 stars.
