Amazing
I'm an artist and was looking for a hole puncher that works on plastic sheets, metal sheets, lots of weird stuff. I tried my cheap punch and I couldn't even get through a single sheet. this one slices like butter through multiple layers. sooooo happy!

Don’t waste your money.
This was a total disappointment. It was supposed to punch 10 pages at a time with ease. Well I tried two pages that were 65lb card stock and it couldn’t even fit in between the unit to punch at all. Waste of money and useless.

Loved the convenience of the handle. However, it clogged easily and had to be cleaned out frequently of the little debris. Was unable to punch more than 2 to 3 sheets of anything at a time and that was a nuisance. But for small jobs, I highly recommend this.

Where has this punch been all my crafting years?!?
I absolutely love this hole punch!! I was looking for a punch that could punch cardboard (pizza boxes). I use 1/2" strips in scrapbooks & needed 2 holes for post bound books. This punched soo easy I was surprised. It cuts like butter, smooth & easy with very little effort. It does an amazing job on paper too, I use lots of cards cardstock from 60# to 110#.

Easily Punches Through Multiple Sheets
I was able to make clean punches through all of the sheets in a wall calendar without a lot of effort. Very little pressure was needed to punch through all of those sheets. It saved my hand!

Superior product
Works well, feels good to hold.
Takes some experimenting to get right, though — tricky to know where exactly you're making the hole.

Swingline Low Force 1-Hole Punch is Genius!
We use this in the office to make luggage tags for clients (we're a travel agency). Sure makes the job easier! Our receptionist can't stop talking about how great it is!

HORRIBLE DESIGN
It is a good hole puncher but I am pretty much punching the holes blind. The holes are never in the right spot, they need to put a guide somewhere.

easy to use
Really like this hole punch. It doesn't hurt your hand while using it. I can punch 4 laminated sheets with not problem. Easy to use!

Cheaply Made for price
This expensive hole punch broke. The spring is not attached. I tried to fix it but there is no way to get into the spring area unless you punch out the rivets. The hole punch was used only a handful of times with only 1 to 3 pages punched per use. Would not buy again.

Effortless Punching
Bought this item for work purposes — needed for punching holes through metallic lined bags. My last regular hole punch only lasted 6 weeks. This one is much easier— effortless— and cuts a clean hole in the bags. Would definitely recommend for tough jobs.

1 hole puncher
I did not like it. It is hard and will not move to accommodate the sheets of paper.
I would not buy it again.

Love this product! It was exactly what I needed.
I have purchased other single hole punches and they can never punch a good hole and will not cut through laminated items. This one does! I love it!

High Quality
This is an easy to use single hole punch, but my only complaint is that it can be a little difficult to see where you are punching the hole exactly.
