3 Hole Punch

This Bostitch EZ Squeeze 3-hole punch has been a great upgrade for my home office. It really lives up to the “reduced force” feature punching through stacks of paper is so much easier than traditional hole punches, even when working with thicker documents. It handles a good amount of pages at once (up to around 40), which saves a lot of time instead of doing smaller batches. The one-touch squeeze design feels smooth and doesn’t strain your hand, which is a big plus if you’re using it frequently. The silver finish also looks clean and professional on a desk, and it doesn’t take up too much space despite being heavy duty. It feels sturdy and well-built, like it will last a long time. Overall, this is a reliable and efficient tool that makes organizing paperwork quick and painless.

This is a simple, sturdy punch which lacks most of the "bells and whistles" of its competitors to achieve "HOLE PUNCH GLORY". I gave its predecessor away due to multiple PROBLEM AREAS: 1. Competitor was capable of "adapting to different paper sizes with a SLIDING BOTTOM FEATURE which was always so LOOSE as to require constant readjustment--and not a few jobs which had to be redone; the dreaded "double hole" problem. This unit does not allow adjustment in that manner, and so IT CANNOT FAIL TO ACHIEVE ITS PURPOSE. 2. Competitor's "hole positions" could change by sliding pieces along a rod on left side--but lack of uniformity arose because it was not easy to always make the chosen hole position exactly equal. This unit does not allow such (unwelcome) "adaptability". 3. Competitor base, where all those tiny little punched out circles were stored, WOULD INVARIABLE COME LOOSE, scattering those "cute tiny circles" all over my desk, and floor, and papers. This has a STURDY base, which will not "accidentally" come loose. "Fit and finish" of the Bostitch product is excellent. 4. Competitor was also rated for "40 pages", but was so engineered that this required slamming my hand down on the lever, threatening to break the unit. This one has a kind of "two-part" lever action: (a) push hard to contact, then (b) increased resistance is met and harder force required. THIS WILL ACCOMMODATE MORE THAN 40 pages, but I do not recommend it. "NO POUNDING REQUIRED" here. If you are only punch up to 20 pages, you can do so EASILY while seated. If you are going for 40 or so, you will need to stand up and put your weight onto level. However, you will never feel like you are abusing the device. 5. Competitor had a recurrent problem with those teeny, tiny little punched out circles, which tended to ACCUMULATE between far left margin of punch and the rod creating the hole so that papers were pushed out from left margin, again, requiring, at times, the "double hole" approach--unsightly and frustrating. Simply made, sturdy, attractive, and easy to use, this is one piece of office equipment that fulfills my needs PERFECTLY. If you want all that "adaptability" and use for anything other than three hole (or just two "top hole") jobs, buy a (cheap) competitor, and cry, cry, cry as it fails you again and again--or spend hundreds on a professional level punch. Thank you Bostitch: GOOD PRICE; SUPERIOR FUNCTION; HANDSOME APPEARANCE, what's not to love?

I bought this as a Christmas present for a friend, and she loves it! This 3-hole punch is heavy-duty. It has an adjustable paper length guide. It can handle a fairly large amount of paper and still punch smoothly. There haven't been any jamming issues. I highly recommend it.

Punches through stacks of papers like butter! Easy to use and very durable. It is not overly heavy, but definitely has some weight to it.

Excellent machine! Works as advertised and is reliable and heavy. Sturdy construction, worth the price.

Everyone in my office loves this 3 hole punch! It makes it so much easier and the middle piece doesn’t move like it does on others. This ensures you don’t mess up the holes. It is smaller and lighter than the one we replaced and works so much better. The handle is absolute perfection

I was worried about this 3 hole punch because i wanted a heavy duty one with a metal lever so i could apply a lot of pressure and punch through large stacks of paper. I was pleasantly surprised that even though this has a kind of wing flappy thing instead of a nice metal lever, it still held up to a lot of pressure and cut through large stacks. The other thing i was worried about with this design is if the paper would move too much as i applied the downward force, but it really hasnt been an issue even though this does not have much in the way of a border to hold the paper in place - just tiny little bumps. Of course an expensive one with a metal lever and borders to hold the paper in place would be better, but is it worth the cost? For home use i would say no. For business use i would probably spend the extra couple hundred for a heavier duty one. This one is probably fine for most people though.

Has great Punching power, smooth operation, holes are clean cut, built well, it’s not super heavy, one of the best hole punches that I have purchased. I will definitely purchase again if anything happens to this one.

Je suis vraiment contente d'avoir acheté ce modèle. Il fonctionne à merveille. J'ai troué jusqu'à 25 feuilles à la fois. Très léger à manipuler, pas besoin d'utiliser la force pour peser. De plus, il y a un rebord du côté droit contre lequel on appuie les feuilles. Ce qui donne une bonne stabilité. Ça m'a pris moins de 5 minutes pour trouer 200 pages. Quel bel achat! J'aurais dû en faire l'achat bien avant.

Fixed paper guide for US Letter paper only , DO NOT buy this if you use A4 paper-it punches in the wrong place & can't adjust the paper guide - it is fixed in place - I wish this was made clear in the description :(

Bardzo dobra jakość. Format US LETTER.

I had to use this during online undergrad courses where the prof would have massive amounts of printouts. This thing saved me SO MUCH time by being able to do many sheets at once (I never had to put in more than 40). It is really strong and sturdy. Def my favourite hole-punch at home, I have smaller ones that I don't use again, some of the old ones would even have the hinges break, but that's not happening with this one...
