Bostitch Office EZ Squeeze Reduced Effort 2-Hole Punch, 20 Sheets, Locking Handle, Silver (2310)

It was exactly what I ordered and Bostitch usually makes quality products

My office needed a two-hole punch, so I figured Id grab this one for free off the Amazon Vine offer, leave it at work, ask my staff how they liked it, and review it, thus saving a little bit out of my office-supply budget. Response from my staff was very favorable, with all three people who tried it saying its sharpness and design made it much easier to use than traditional models -- and also saying that they wanted one. Comparing it myself to the traditional models we have in the office, I could see why: it definitely bites through paper more cleanly and with less effort. It does make a bigger hole than were used to, which makes pages float around in the binder a bit, but so far that hasnt caused any problems. What has caused problems is that instead of saving the cost of a single two-hole punch by getting this item from Amazon, I am now in a position where the only way to keep peace in the office is to buy one of these for each of the other two folks who want one. So much for my brilliant budget-saving idea!

Exactly what I was looking for. Great quality

Streamlined product and excellent for home use. Folds up and lock so that it can easily fit in desk drawer.

Ours came with a paper guide that did not fit. It completely slid out - no tension at all

I was doubtful that this hole punch would punch 20 sheets of paper as the manufacturer claims, but I can now verify that it really does! I put it to the test with regular computer paper, heavier paper, and some pretty thick cardstock and this little gadget did well with everything I tried. It punched perfect holes into a stack of twenty sheets of computer paper with no problem at all. The holes were perfect and there was no struggle at all. It also worked very well with the thicker pieces of paper and cardstock, although I did use less sheets at a time for those. The hole punch is very small and lightweight, easy to press, and easy to store. If you need to punch paper with just two holes, Id highly recommend. I personally wish it did three holes, since Id use it more often but it does what it claims to do and does it extrememly well.

Thanks

This is a well-built decent product that will stand the test of time. I have arthritis, so I was very interested in the easy, low-force punch claim. This is true if you are punching 5 sheets or less. The capacity for this punch is 20 sheets. I tried to punch that many but hurt my hand with the excessive force to get the punch to go through. And I didnt think the holes cut as cleanly with 20 sheets as they did with 5 sheets. It was also very easy to punch at 5 sheets. The low-force claim is true for that volume of paper. There is a slide button lock to keep the unit closed and make it shorter for storage. A great feature. When closed up, the unit is approx. 4.75 wide x 4 deep x 1.75 high. For paper fitting, there is a plastic ruler guide that slides out on the right-hand side of the unit. There is a stop and notation at 8.5 and another at 11. This would allow you to center the holes properly based on which side of a standard sheet you are punching. I found it easy to use this ruler guide and get everything to line up properly without fuss. I didnt find that the ruler was flimsy as mentioned by others. Its not metal, but it is a decent weight of plastic. I found the emptying tray a little hard to figure out without any instructions in the box. There is a picture on the box that shows emptying and I fumbled around with the unit for about 15 seconds to figure it out. There is a piece of hard plastic that forms the base of the punch. There is a thumb-notch flap that you push down towards the floor and a joint in the plastic allows you open a hatch in the back where the punches can be emptied. I found it relatively easy to get the punches out without scattering them all over the floor. I hope the joint in the plastic holds up after repeated bends - if it ever cracks youre out of business with keeping the punches contained. Overall, a well-constructed product that I would highly recommend for home or office use.

this punch works very nicely. Easy to handle multiple pages

Researched a lot and picked this one and Im pleased. Always consistent holes and like the ease of punching 30 pages without having to get up and stand to get enough power like other punches. Well made.
