These were not very expensive so I guess I shouldn't complain. I needed to punch holes through about 25 pages I had to do about two at a time I had red marks on my fingers when I was done. These are good if you're not going to use them on a regular basis and if you only need then for a couple of pages.
We will use this item to punch cards to score fish caught by the 500 in the NC VIP fishing tournament for the blind.. We will also have 28 VIPs from other states.
This hole punch worked great when I first bought it but after only a few weeks of using it it no longer punches holes unless I twist it around as I'm squeezing. I only used it on index cards and only punched one at a time. I expected it to last longer than a few weeks. I still need to hole punch cards so I will see if Staples has a heavy duty 1-hole punch.
