Heavy-Duty Binder
on February 4, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
I've had a lot of experience with binders over the years. This one seems to handle almost 2" of paper quite well. I assume it's due to the design of the rings (round rings are not the greatest as you may know). These have a good D shape and seem to handle the aspects of opening and moving to different sections as well as I've seen with other binders. And the rings meet evenly another source of consternation when they don't and paper hangs up (and you have to try to bend them to meet properly). All in all a good binder.
I purposely bought "heavy duty" because I needed something strong and 10 minutes after I started using the binder one of the 3 rings opened up and my documents started to come out of the rings. It is obvious that the quality is not up to what it is supposed to be.
I own about 20 of these binders for the Master's and Doctoral courses I teach in Education. Every course I teach has its own binder which can be identified by the cardstock copy of the textbook I am using on the front and side of the binders. I use dividers for each week of the course and then place hard copies of all of the backup materials for the course. (I also purchase the dividers paper and ink cartridges from Staples and earn rewards regularly; and recycle my cartridges.) Even though I have electronic copies much of the backup and I teach online courses I still use the binders and hard copies that I can review in one place. I love these binders.
