Easy!
I purchased this for my 86 year old mother to maintain her health binder. If her gnarled, arthritic hands can do it with ease, anyone can! It is sturdy (read: heavy) and has a locking pin to prevent mishaps and keep it lower profile, too. It has helped keep her paperwork in order.

Nice product but didn't last long
We had this for 8 months before one of the metal punching pieces separated. Did an exchange for a new one. It does decrease the effort needed to punch multiple pieces of paper and has a larger area then most to align the pages at the top so they always punch evenly.

Broken
I used the hole punch twice and it broke. One of the holes got stuck and I couldn’t put paper in it.

Would not recommend punching at capacity
This product is advertised as a 40 sheet capacity hole punch, but the first time we attempted to punch at that capacity, the middle punch-pin failed to cut through, causing the base-plate to warp from the pressure. Now the middle pin wont punch even 5 sheets all the way through, because the base plate isnt flush. Will be returning this.

Great Hole Punch - EZ Squeeze is Right
This is a very smooth to use hole punch and that 40-pages are easy to punch through. We also love the little hook to make it more compact to store..

Easy to use!
The construction of this makes really easy to accurately and quickly punch a good size stack of papers. I am very happy with this.

Excellent
I have used many different types of 3 hole punchers at my job. This one, by far, is the best! I was able to punch through 30 pages without any hesitation and without any hanging paper circles from not cutting clean through. I love it! I will purchase again...if this one wears out at all. :)

Great item
We have gone through 3 hole punchers. they never worked very well and one even fell apart. This hole puncher is worth the money. It punches through many papers like butter. Would definitely recommend.

A little heavy duty
This small machine packs a big 3-hole punch! We are definitely fans of this piece of equipment in the office.

Works like a charm
Great hole punch, except the little door where the punched pieces come out does not sit flush after dumping them out.
