I can't get the clips out of the unit so that I can start hole punching. Usually the little clips come out with ease but for some reason mine aren't coming out thus unable to hole punch anything.
The Staples brand of hole punch is not bad. It does say that it punches 10 sheets however the punch did not fit 10 sheets of regular copy paper. The middle punch is very tightly set. Otherwise no issues.
I had a slightly more expensive punch for probably 20 years that just broke. I decided to go with a less expensive on since I don't have as many papers to punch these days. This does seem very sturdy and so far I like it very much.
Out of the box the 3rd page I punched a hole was missed; then another and another. I guess the balance is not even. Will try using both hands to press down for a more even punch.
