I use this stapler for punching tickets at our local Jr. Miss Program. It has not failed with any punches and the girls state it is light and easy to handle. Many punches in one night.
I am looking for a more sturdy sinle hole punch. THis product with the vinyl covering appears to be more sturdy but its not. It is the same cheap single hole punch you sell only with some vinyl on the handles. NOT RECOMMENDED
In my opinion inferior quality for price: Slight 'grab' when punching maybe due to a metal spur on the punch mechanism. Punch trap does not close completely allowing punched holes to escape resulting in a mess.
I will use this hole punch mainly for crafts. For only [$] (I bought it on sale) I'm surprised by how well it is made. The cushioned grips are thick and cushiony; it punches holes quickly easily and completely (no rough edges). Although it's a little stiff to use I'm sure it will loosen up with more use. The hole catcher is a bit smaller than others I've seen and I do wish it were a bit bigger but that's a small negative considering all the positivies. My only regret is that I didn't buy another (limit of 2).
