This is a good product for people who want to protect their hands from muscle strain or carpel tunnel. I don't have any of those symptoms, because I am careful not to do anything to cause strain. This one-hole punch is very easy to use and unlike the one-hole punch w/o the grip, it requires very little pressure to squeeze close. When using, it is very quiet also and the confetti that is collected does not fall out of the holder.

I own the regular metal one-hole punch w/o the grip and it makes a loud noise whenever I use it. It also is very hard to squeeze together to punch the paper. I'm not sure if it's because it is of course, inexpensive, or just needs some oil. I don't think it came with oil but I feel like that's what it needs because it just doesn't work smoothly.

So I like this new one-hole punch very much because of how less effort it takes to punch. The con is that it is kinda big. But feels sturdy and has a non-slip quality to it.
