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

Great item

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.

I love how small this is and yet the size that I needed. Not your typical large clunky two hole puncher

Cant expect more for such a high quality puncher.

I would deem the 2-hole punch useful. Its small enough to place on top of my desk and its sturdy. My only complaint, it should have a 35-40 sheet capacity. Other than that, Im satisfied with this item.

Good quality. Works great. I wonder why I tolerated a poor quality punch for so long.

The tool did a great job in allowing me to bind 10 groups of 300 pieces toghter

We had two other hole punchers in the office. Both of them are crap despite being larger and more expensive than this one. It has a small footprint but it crunches through 20 pages with hardly any effort at all, and we get perfectly cut circles. If you need a 2 hole punch, get this one.

Works poorly. Two flaws. The paper guide is plastic and doesnt have exact markings for page width. The part where you put the top edge of your paper is too short (no flat surface) so you cant position the paper flat to get the holes punched properly. Bad design.

Loved this product for the office.
