Poorly Made
Only used this a month and it blew apart. Not made very well for a couple sheets of paper.

Disappointed

Great Price For A Reputable Brand!!!
Bought hole punch for teen daughter for back to school. Haven't used it yet but am familiar with Bostitch brand. I am sure it will be durable and last her throughout the school year!

The price for this item is deceiving. It is a very reliable piece of office equipment.

This was a treasure find -
I liked the price; when I received it I liked it even more. My old one was at least an inch longer and took up drawer space. Bostitch found a way to make it shorter saving cost and passing it to the buyer. It is attractive easier to handle & store anywhere. It was a treasure find for me. Why can't other American businesses do it like Bostitch??

Great, sturdy three hole, hole puncher.
This is the best hole punch. It's really sturdy and very small and sleek design. I have had many hole punchers over the years and thus is my favorite.

This is a great hole punch!
I am so glad I got this. I had needed one for a while, so when the opportunity to get this came up, I was so excited. I get excited for office supplies anyway, but this thing is awesome. I love that it is compact and not super bulky like other 3-hole punches. It makes clean holes. Then, when I am finished using it, the handle saves space by locking down, which makes sto...

Works like a charm!
I was incentivized by Influenster and Bostitch with this complimentary product in exchange for my honest review.
I never knew I needed a 3-hole punch but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. All I can remember is struggling to use the ancient one my school had in elementary (I’m sure it had never been serviced or oiled in its existence.) This one popped down so ...

A great hole punch!
I received this item for free from Influenster for my honest opinion. The Bostitch 3 hole punch is an easy to use product. It boasts a 50% easier to push mechanism and that is definitely true. I can do multiple pages without any issues. I highly recommend this 3 hole punch.

This Bostitch three-hole punch is perfect. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do with ease. It can hole punch up to 12 sheets at a time which is great when you have multiple sheets of paper.
I love that it has a paper guide so everything is measured out and perfect every time.
I also appreciate how easy it is to press down. It says it’s an Ez Squeeze and is 50% eas...

Very efficient
For not being anything new, this 3 hole puncher was very efficient and effective for its purpose. It said it could easily punch 12 sheets of paper at a time and it really could without any effort or force applied and I didn't have any trouble with jams. I did like the waste compartment and how the cut pieces automatically went into it so you don't have to worry about pi...

Hole punch
This 3 hole punch is very good quality. It is easy to use and very easy to push down on to several pieces of paper. This is a must have for your office.
