Swingline 3 Hole Punch Heavy Duty, 40 Sheet Capacity Three Hole Puncher 3 Ring, Adjustable 2-7 Hole Paper Punch, Black (74440)

cuts through the paper like butter

Yes! I love this thing! I use this to punch holes through my Tupperware catalogs so I can put them in mini binders for parties. This allows me to use the same set of catalogs for each season. Putting them in these mini binders tells the party guests that these are not for taking home. It also allows me to slide in order forms and our mid month brochures and other sales right inside too. So each guest gets a complete packet.Prior to this I was tearing the books apart and sliding them into sleeve protectors and putting them into 3 prong folders. This took A LOT of time to do. I usually made 10 folders at a time and this saves me a ton of time now! And they are smaller so its easier to pack up and carry.This punches clean through. I will mention that the first few punches, there was a lot of oil residue left on my catalogs. After a few more punches the extra oil was gone. It cuts clean through easily. The sticky ruler was not in place when I took it out of the box so I had to put it back on.This is heavy but is also heavy duty. I dropped it on my concrete garage floor once already and it took it like a champ. I'm very happy with this product.

This punch is is quite comfortable to use, easy on the hands and smooth. The punches are easily moved about. The measuring lines on the slider guide are kinda hard to read, but this is easily overcome by placing (or marking) common measurements (i.e. 8 1/2" or 11") with those brightly colored small dot labels stickies, cut in half to line up w/your common usage. The same colored dots can be placed above punch locations as well, to make it even easier to transition between jobs.

Our office was in need of a new 3-whole puncher due to our last one becoming dull and ruining many important documents. This product came within a few days of ordering and works as clean as a whistle!

This Swingline 440 (74440) hole punch is wonderful! Adjustable punch heads, replaceable punch heads when they get dull. And I can insert up to 7 total if I want. (Only ships with three, and new ones are $20 each, a bit expensive). I like this product because it is durable, heavy, powerful. I took this over the comparable 450 model (74450) because that one, by the online descriptions, can only go up to 4 punches, not 7. Complaints: well, it shipped with a bit too much oil on one of the punches, left ugly stains on the paper around the hole. I think after punching 1000 pages on scrap paper I have solved the problem. Actually, since I bought it used, maybe the manufacturer wasn't the one who put on too much oil.
