Having been in the business of making ring binder I have a lot of product knowledge. The key to a good bidet is the ring. I has to be strong operate smoothly and lock when it is closed. Next the vinyl has to be thick enough to last for years. This binder meets all the requirements for a good binder. I would recommend using sheet lifters with any bider. They make the pages flow easily when opening the binder.
These binders are the cheapest I could find at Staples and I do not see any reason to pay more for a different brand. They seem to hold up just as good as more expensive ones
