The Binder is flimsy whenever you handle it. The metal rings bend easily and become misaligned making prealigned holes difficult to insert. The design of the lever makes it difficult and frustrating when you try to open rings.
This was very useful for filing various documents. Used this type of binder before and lasts a long time. I would recommend using sheet protectors for this so documents can last longer.
We've been using these binders for years! They are truly heavy duty as it claims. The material is very thick and sturdy that has some type of rubber feel to it. We have not yet had a problem with them ripping or falling apart and these binders have been tossed and transported multiple times. I would definitely recommend this binder!
