Swingline 3 Hole Punch, 20 Sheet Capacity Three Hole Puncher 3 Ring, Adjustable 2-7 Hole Paper Punch, LightTouch Low Effort, Black & Silver (74030)

Works Great!!

The Swingline 3 Hole Punch is a dependable tool that works perfectly for all my document organizing needs. It punches clean, precise holes every time, making it easy to prepare papers for binders without any hassle. The design is sturdy and comfortable to use, even when handling larger stacks of paper. It’s compact enough to fit neatly on my desk but robust enough to handle frequent use in a busy office environment. Overall, this hole punch combines durability, efficiency, and user-friendly design, making it an excellent choice for both personal and professional settings.

I often print our recipes and add them to a large 3 ring binder. In addition, when planning trips I print out all of the confirmations, e-tickets, etc and place them in small 3 ring binders to take along, so a 3 hole punch is a needed item for my desk. I had a small 3 hole punch that could be put into the binder but that proved to be a waste of time and money. It was awkward to use and soon broke. Becoming frustrated with it and having quite a lot of papers waiting for holes, I looked here on Amazon and found the Swingline 12 sheet Light Touch Hole Punch. Woohoo! It works like a charm! It makes crisp clean holes (no hanging chads) and the punchers can be adjusted to different positions if you so desire. It is fast and easy to use, requiring very little effort to push down the handle, so even if you need to punch holes is lots of papers it doesn't cause hand fatigue. The device is stable, meaning it doesn't tip over during use. The paper dots are contained in the bottom, which slides open for emptying. It's an excellent product at a very reasonable price, plus with Amazon Prime it ships for free! What more could you ask for? This one's a winner!

This hole punch is a winner. Light weight but with all the functions you need. You can punch up to 7 holes with the easy adjustment bar. The punch lever is great, it requires minimal effort, a great plus for anyone with arthritis or upper body strength issues. The price is fantastic for the function and quality of this unit and is by far the best price I have seen for this type of punch. The only issues with this punch are the lack of directions as to it's operation - requiring a trial and error effort that isn't too difficult. And, the hole position guides and the open and close arrows for the handle are etched into the plastic - in the same gray color as the unit and not easy to see. Once you know where to look, it is not an issue any longer. There were far more expensive units that didn't offer what this punch does. I recommend it highly to crafters or organgizing types out there.

If you are a teacher, work in a job where you regularly need to punch holes in papers, homeschool, etc. this is the hole puncher for you! It is fantastic quality! Pros: It arrives in a durable box which I kept for storage. The handle saves you so. much. effort! If you have any kind of issues with your wrists, arthritis, tendonitis, etc. this helps enormously! The item is extremely durable. The holes get punched with accuracy. Cons: I found punching much over ten pages (it advertises twenty pages) that the accuracy goes down. With about 10-13 pages the hole puncher is flawless. Also, there really should be instructions. The item does not come with them. It would help to know how to manually adjust the holes but especially how to unlock the item! It has a drawing on the back of the hole punch, but the diagram does not accurately reflect the unlocking mechanism process. Thank goodness for online videos! Suggestions for Usage: -To unlock, the diagram on the hole puncher says to slide the unlock mechanism to the left or right. However, you must push the handle down as you do so which is not indicated on the box anywhere. Once you figure it out, though, it is super easy. -For storage, lock the item back in place. Someone in my family forgot, and I had a challenging time getting the product back out of the box because the handle was wedged tight. -As mentioned above, the item works better punching about 10-13 pages at a time (in my opinion). -When you hole punch, push the lever all the way down firmly or the little round pieces do not get all the way pushed out of the papers. -If I don't empty the storage tray after about 70-80 pages of hole punching it works less efficiently. So, I would recommend emptying after at least about 80 pages. All-in-all this product is worth every penny! It is durable, easy to use (once it's clear how to utilize the features), saves time, and eases the wrist in repeated hole punching (has helped me to prevent inflammation). I hope this review helps someone!!

Love this hole punch. My old one is over 20 years old and was sticking and not creating a clean hole. The new one works like a champ! There are NO directions on or in the box on how to unlock the lock so that you can use it. Other people have mentioned this too. I tried You Tube videos, but they didn't explain it well enough so I looked for written directions on the web. The following is a direct copy of what I found that worked in a second plus a few extra helpful words! The key is: You have to press down on the handle/punch arm with one hand while sliding the locking device, at the base of the handle/punch arm, to the unlocked position. That is all it took to work well! To unlock a Swingline hole punch, you need to: Place the punch on a firm surface. Hold down the punch arm and move the gray piece, at the base of the punch arm, to the left. It will unlock. You must have the arm held down to lock or unlock.

This punch is so easy to use. I can put in quite a lot of paper at once and punches holes in them like it’s butter. Also easy to empty when needed. Well made exactly as described

Works a treat

Just what I needed for Marr sheets

Quite heavy, the holes are not perfect width apart to match any folders the springs are full of grease which spoiled the papers the punch blades are so low that it cannot fit more than 2 papers forget about 30 or 40..

While it is advertised as a hole punch that can be adjusted to either a 3 or 2-hole puncher, it does not work for 2-holes. After spending 15 minutes readjusting the thing, unscrewing, and reattaching the parts in the right places (ALL WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS), I found that no matter how I configured it, the 2 holes were the wrong distance apart to fit a standard leaver arch binder. This product is useless and I will be requesting a refund.
