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

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.

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.

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.

Good hole punch does what it's designed for. For me the price wasn't an issue maybe because of Prime for a little over $15 it does what it's designed for and if it wears out it's no biggie to replace. Pros: - The Handle - best thing ever added to a hole punch made the entire process so much easier specially in my case as I had it turned sideways when I was using it. - The Lock - yes there's a lock on the back that allows the punch to be locked down, handy if you have children who like to make "circle" or "dots" with your papers. (I'm out of that stage but remember it well) - Paper Amount - I've not tested it yet to see just how many papers it will punch at once but really have no desire to do that. However that being said I did punch a small stack of around 12 maybe a few more with no problem see the handle again here it give extra leverage Cons: - The Lock - now why would I put that is a pro and con well it has to do with the fact I had no idea it was there and it took me about 10 minutes to figure it out. LOL FYI you have to hold the handle down to move it and the unit comes locked. For you since I've let you know about it then it won't be a negative. - The Bottom - there's a rubbery thing on the bottom that is there to catch the "dots" however the unit moves back and forth in it sideways to me this was annoying I've bought many different hole punches over the years and by far this has appeared to be the best one. I'm a light user who uses it in my home office for whatever I need 3 holes in. I recommend this product taking into account that a user wanting it for extremely heavy use might not want to buy this product as I'm not positive if it's designed for that sort of abuse.

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.
