It's OK... Punched 3 papers then it got stuck. I needed to stand on it to pop it free

I have MANY paper punches and am an avid Crafter. This was my first EK punch and I am so disappointed in the quality. It might just be the one that I got but after using the punch 3 times on a light weight cardstock the punch got stuck and would not open or close. I had to stand on the punch to get it to budge, finally something snapped... now it is realigned and working. I hope no others have this issue. Its a great shape and size punch and I intend to use it for a mini garland.

I was disappointed in this punch.  It seemed quite well made and heavy-duty when it arrived, but I found that the bottom portion of the paper being punched would snag, and I'd have to wrangle with even single sheets of paper.  As an arts &  crafts teacher, I had to punch a large amount of leaves  for the project being taught, and I found it quite annoying to have such a difficult time punching both lightweight paper (a falling-apart book) and heavier card stock.

I examined the punch..  There were no loose sections, the cutter edges seemed sharp, however, the bottom portion of the punch did not seem to meet beyond the rim of the leaf mold, so the paper would not get cut all the way through and it would be natural to get stuck at the bottom most point.

The bottom broke off when the device was dropped about 2 feet.  It still works.  The papers are secured by a strip being cut and then tucked into the top sheet.  I preferred the devices that cut a zig-zag pattered and pushed the papers together into each other.

I was only trying to punch a pattern in the corner of one sheet at a time, and had to get my partner to do it - with my full body weight down on this I still didn't have any success. It does produce a lovely pattern, but lining it up with the corner of the page was also tricky for him. He had to hold the punch upside down first to line it up. Then repeat for all 4 corners, and all 200 pages....be prepared to have sore hands and even a muscle man to hand to use this. I think it's worth it tho.

I thought it was going to be a bit stiff in the writing part, but its a rubber bubble. I can make me frustrated due to pushing it for it to work sometimes. Its ok, but not a 5 star product.

The button got stuck within a few hours of use. I am using it as a standing desk, which I place on my regular desk in order to create the necessary extra height.

Updated: I've upgraded from a 2 star to a 3 star. Could conceivably be 4 star. The issue I had is that one of the buttons got stuck within a few hours.  I purchased a new spring from the hardware store, removed the leg, and was able to fix the button. Its annoying that it needed fixing so quickly, but on the other hand, its simple design makes it fairly easy to fix if you're willing to try.

Punches 3 holes or less. It works best if you punch 4 pages at a time.

This 3 hole punch is easy to use. It doesn't punch through lots of pages at a time, which I would prefer. But it does fine on 3 sheets at a time. It works as expected

I used this to punch through almost 500 paper bags for a popcorn bar at my wedding. I struggled a little but mostly blame that on the paper bag material, not the punch itself. The actual punch works really well on normal paper and thicker paper. By some chance if others had the intentions I had, thought I might throw it out there that trying to get it through paper bags will not be as easy.

Kind of confusing at first, where you would normally punch holes is on the other side and I tried to punch 20 and it messed half my pages up (some got punched, some were punched with one or two or indented). But its still good for less than 20 pages

This punch does not punch cleanly, I have to press down really hard to get most of the punch out.

Bought this to punch holes in some folders.  However, couldn't do it without a lot of pressure with my hands, and the little circles cut out are a pain to pick up when the container comes loose, which it does at times.

The bin was broken near the rim but I decided it's minor issue and to glue the broken part. However the bigger issue when I shred a single paper the motor keeps on running effortlessly to complete the process because paper remains at the shredder. And if I 'reverse" the process and re-shred "the shred" then it gets stuck. Remember I am talking about a single paper...not 8 papers!!! It's better to spend little more on better quality shredder because this one is a waste of time. Hopefully Amazon does some quality control.

Item arrived in tact, but it seemed old or it hadn't been stored properly.  Most of the paws didn't come off the sheet without taking a bunch of paper with it.  The paper was so stuck to the item, that it was unusable.  Of the 12 -- we were able to use 4.

I think this shredder was designed for people who have a nice neat stack of papers that have never been folded. My bag of papers were definitely not that! The legal size has to be fed manually and can't be put in the "walk away" stack which would be fine if the shredder wasn't so fussy. It worked really well for about the first 1/4 of the stack then started stopping and needing readjustment all the time. It wouldn't allow any but the very thin gauge paper anything else would cause it to stop. Same thing for a couple of papers stapled together. Same thing for any paper that wasn't the right length and on and on. For a lesser priced shredder I could have tolerated this.. it did still make the job easier and had moments when it worked really well... but not enough that I could really trust it to keep on shredding and walk away. And for the price that is unacceptable. Doesn't earn it's money in the office.

the punch is too weak.  I had to use it on a plastic ID card and it was not strong enough
