At least two of these live in a cup on my desk at school and the high school students use them when ever they need it. Some are big athletes and some small females and everyone has been able to use them easily, they are well built so the strong guys cannot crush them and render them useless which has happened in the past with other similar products, NOT THESE. I love this product and will buy it again and again because they do tend to walk off each year sooner or later.

I wanted to replace the 1-hole punch I've had for 30 years because I assumed by this point, it had dulled and a new one would do the trick quicker, easier and more accurately. I picked up the Staples brand 1-hole punch for a buck because I thought, how can I lose? Not only was it new, but it had a nifty pocket to hold the paper bits it had just cut. Very tidy. When I tested the punch on a piece of copy paper, I discovered that I wasted my dollar. It was tough to punch through, and once it did, the hole wasn't cleanly punched. Piece of junk. It's now in a bag waiting to go to Goodwill.
I used this item for less than 5 minutes before it broke. I was punching single sheets of construction paper. Not thick stuff. On the 3rd sheet the little round thing bent and broke off. Staples is more than 20 minutes away so I just tossed them.
I purchased this to make arts and craft projects with my kids. It does not punch through folded paper well; we were making snowflakes. You have to apply a lot of pressure; use both hands to punch holes. Spend a little more money to get a better quality product.
