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

A good hole punch. Sturdy

not great for multiple papers more then 5-10 very hard to use

Product came damaged and would not open to use for operation (you have to unlock it to function, and this unit wont unlock). I feel that I was sold an item that had already been returned judging from the condition of the unit. Unfortunately, when I went to use it for the first time it was too late to return it. My advise...try it right away when you receive it!!

Bostitch Office EZ Squeeze is an attractive two hole punch that will look good on a desk. It definitely is easy to punch through a stack of papers with very little effort. It has a nice weight to it, so it shouldnt slide around very much. Its mostly made of metal, a rare occurance nowadays. Being able to lock the handle down is a very nice feature, it could prevent someone from accidentally hitting it and knocking the punch to the floor. There is a small pin that you slide to the left to lock the handle down while you depress the handle or slide to the right at you depress the handle, a very useful feature. There are two small, round rubber feet at the rear that probably wont grip very well, from the looks and feel of them. Unfortunately, it has several negative features. 1. There are no instructions with it, so hopefully, my review will help those who arent at least a little mechanically inclined. 2. The slide for adjusting the paper widths (8.5 and 11 inches) isnt very sturdy and can be pulled completely out with the possiblity of losing the adjustment slide. If the punch falls to the floor with the adjustment slide out, the slide could be broken. There are two detents as you pull the slide out, one for 8.5 inches and one for 11 inches, just pull the slide out until you feel the detent for the size paper you are punching. 3. The chip tray locks on the body very nicely and it a bit difficult to open if you have weak or arthritic hands. The chip tray has a plastic hinge that probably wouldnt last long if the tray is emptied often. I dont know if the tray will stay attached once the hinge breaks, after one use I can see stress marks in the hinge. Just be careful to only lower the chip tray a little to dump the chips so you dont put added stress on the plastic hinge. The two hole punch does the job but I still have the above concerns and dont find it to be as rugged as older Bostitch products that Ive owned or used.

When I first opened the package, I was concerned since the box was small. Well, it’s perfect for small office spaces. This hole puncher is small and the handle locks down, taking up less volume space. I included photos of it in both locked and unlocked position for your reference. There’s also a photo for box/product size reference compare to a small mouse on an 8.5 x 11 file folder. Also, you can adjust the paper size with the slider but it can easily slide out when you pull. So pull with caution; not a big deal since it can be put back in easily. Oh, it’s an easy punch! So the two winning points for me are the compact size and easy punch/squeeze; very comfortable to use. Note, this is not the same brand that was advertised but the design and capacity are the same.

I have a home filing problem. It seems there is paper and more paper everywhere. Old bills, receipts, medical receipts, car insurance contracts, appliance manuals, where does it all end? A while ago, I had bought a box of standard file folders to hold it all, but with such folders paper tends to fall out each time you pull one out. Then I remembered that years ago I worked in an office that relied heavily on a Two-Hole punch and standard fasteners to keep files neat and in order. When the PaperPro Two-Hole Punch became available through Amazon, I figured why not try it, and I ordered one, plus some inexpensive standard (Acco) fasteners. What do you know! With just a few punches and some quick fastening, all my bills and important papers and neat and tidy, taking up just so much space in my home filing cabinet. Even better, the PaperPro Two-Hole punch lives up to its hype; the punch is smaller than standard punchers, and actually folds and locks easily to fit back in its small box. The punch also pops through paper neatly and cleanly, and takes less effort to use than the old punchers I was used to from years ago. All in all a very thoughtfully designed product and one I will actually use for a long time. Recommended.

Sturdy, but hard to open the waste tray.

Cant expect more for such a high quality puncher.

Outstanding hole punch! This is the best two hole punch we have ever had in the office. It is so superior to the standard type. It takes less effort to use, punches more pages at once and makes larger holes which make the pages easier to side into place than the old standard size. When you have as many records to insert into files and patient medical charts as we do in medical offices its easy to understand the importance of such things. We like is so well that we plan to replaced all of our old types with this version. We are very satisfied with it.

Works like a charm, small but mighty
