Old fashion but requires no improvements-Just what I wanted! I had some heavier paper that was left from another project and decided it would make a nice addition to my Day Runner if it just had the right number of holes. I did consider the next "up" version but it seemed to be the very same paper punch with silicone covers added. I didn't think that warranted the increase in prices so decided to stick with this version. This punch is very helpful if you use a Day Runner (or any multi-ring binder) because you can add items with ease.
Works very well. It even has a catch for the paper waste. What more can you ask for? Ok the catch fell off but I did fiddle with it. It is not fancy but it works well and was cheap. Also the staff was really nice about helping me find it and everything else I needed at staples. Also it is nice that it is made of stainless-steel because I know it won't break rust or have to be replaced for wear. Also it is 100% recycleable!!!! So you can't beat that with a stick. Best 1-hole punch on the market.
Having misplaced my old single-hole punch and having received a new calendar withOUT a hanging hole on any page I needed to purchase this punch in order to round out my office equipment collection. It is on a par with my previous punch but has the added feature of a punching capture section which keeps all the little paperpunch-outs from flying all over the place keeping them all together so I can empty it once into the trash can. Simple engineering but oh so helpful to keep the office space clean!
