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

Nice and easy

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.

I must say the PaperPro 2-Hole Punch lived up to its promises. The punching was quite smooth and it handled the twenty promised sheets quite nicely. I had no jamming; not even once. It was efficient and didnt seem to fatigue my hand. That being said, please note: This is a TWO HOLE punch. It would most likely not be a good choice for a three ring notebook. This is the type of punch that you would use to attach sheets to a clipboard with a two hole attachment on top. For that purpose, the PaperPro 2-Hole punch excels.

Love PaperPro products

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.

Works well.

nice

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.

Good

This little two-hole punch is easy to use. It is designed so that it takes less force that usual to punch holes. This is important if you have small hands. The punch gives you a good, solid feeling when you use it. However, as other reviewers have noted, the pull out paper guide leaves something to be desired. You need to be careful with the guide so that you do not break it. I have dealt with this little flaw by not using the guide. So far, the cutting mechanism has remained nice and sharp, cutting clean holes and collecting the little paper circles in a receptacle for later disposal. The top handle locks down so that you can store it more easily.
