Bostitch Heavy Duty 40-Sheet Manual Hole Punch, Hole Punch Size 9/32". Includes Built-in Paper Guide

This review is for the Bostitch EZ Squeeze 40 Sheet 3-Hole Punch (HP40). I absolutely goes through 40 sheets with ease with its EZ Squeeze Technology. Clean punches. All metal design. Built in paper guide, and easy to clean chip tray. Lock down handle for easy storage. I have used many 3 hole punches before. I have never used one this good! I barely had to apply additional force to get it to go through 40 sheets. I highly recommend to all!

This hole punch by Bostitch is perfect for the home or office. It seems industrial regarding size and quality. With lots of papers stacked in our home-office, this 3-hole puncher is great to have as it can do 40 sheets at a time with ease and no struggle. Instead of stacks of papers laying around waiting to be misplaced, they'll all be organized in binders. As it is relatively large, there is a lot of leverage which is why it can do that many sheets in one go. It's an all metal design and as large as it is, it has some weight to it, so when not in use, I've been using it as a paper weight. The main feature that makes this hole puncher excellent is the paper guide which makes it all aligned everytime. Also, the base of the hole puncher is rubber, reducing any damage to the desk over time from heavy use. The only thing it doesn't mention is how to empty the holes that is collected in the base, which I'll figure out. There is a locking pin on one side when not in use for compact storage. Overall, it's an exceptionally good quality 3-hole puncher for the home, school, and office. Highly recommend it.

This hole punch is great. I didn’t actually count, but I’m pretty sure I even used more than 40 sheets in this and it went through them all just fine! The design is sleek and looks nice in my office. The tray is super easy to empty, you just press down to release it and dump the trash. This is very durable and I know it will last a long time, even with consistent use.

I’m very happy with the ease of use for this paper hole puncher. Paper was easy to slide in and pinch and then remove from the unit. The handle functions nicely- you do not have to put forth a huge amount of pressure to get this to use the paper punches. Unit looks sleek and modern- very happy with this and glad to have it in my home office and for school.

I am doing a review today of the Bostitch EZ Squeeze 40 Sheet 3-Hole Punch. Let me start off by saying this thing is amazing. It punches through a thick stack of paper like butter. It is so easy to use. There is a screw of the left side of the hinge. Pull it out and at the same time pull the top up and that will unlock it. When you are finished using it push it back down and push this screw back in to lock it back into place. This will keep it compact and out of the way. It is small enough it might fit in a desk drawer or a cabinet. The size is 3.06 x 11.12 x 7.50 inches. That is pretty compact when it is kept closed. I keep it on the corner of my desk. It is made out of metal so it will last a very long time. It comes with a built-in paper guide so you can line it up to the very same way every time you use it. It also comes with four rubber feet on the bottom to keep it sturdy in place while you are using it. It also comes with a rubber pad too for even more stability. I put in 30 sheets and it didn't take much pressure at all. At the front of it is a half moon shaped piece that is made of plastic I guess. Push this down and it will open up. Turn the whole thing upside down over a trash can and all of the paper chips will fall out. This thing will hold a lot of paper chips before you will have to change it. They thought of everything with this product. It works like a charm and it is made to last a long time. I am so lucky to have received this product. I highly recommend it.

The Bostitch EZ Squeeze 40 3-Hole Punch (HP40) that I got from the Spark Reviewer program met my expectations completely. Being a heavy-duty 3-hole punch it’s a little larger than the light-duty type that I normally use, but the extra size makes it extra hard working. It easily plunges holes in anything up to 40 pages thick with minimal effort, and the guide makes it easy to line up perfectly. The locking mechanism keeps it from taking up too much room. There were no instructions in the box and it IS pretty self-explanatory as far as punching holes, and the lock feature was easy to figure out, but I was afraid I might break the cleaning tray, which is plastic, if I opened it wrong. I found a video on the Bostitch website that showed how to do it and it also is very easy, but I do feel like it might be easy to break. I’m sure it can still be used without the tray, but it might be messy! The rest of the punch is metal and excellent quality. I feel like it can be used pretty aggressively.

This is a heavy duty hole puncher. It's made of metal and has rubber grips on the handle, which is great. It has 4 small corner rubber grips on the bottom of the base. This is a little lacking. The WHOLE base should be coated in rubber. It is plastic and may slide around a bit if you're whole punching and using some force. This may cause misaligned holes. It has a lock-pin to keep it closed, so it's more compact when not in use. It works really well, has a very strong spring and sharp metal pins to puncture the paper. It DOES punch 40 sheets, but not with ease. You really have to force it. I would suggest doing 30 sheets or less at a time. To empty the scraps out, you have to pull down the right side flap and shake them out. I personally prefer when the whole bottom base plate comes off so I can effectively get any scraps that may be stuck, but that's just my preference. If I ever get a paper punch jam, it may be difficult to clear the jam--and I just might have to pry off the bottom. It almost looks like you could take a flat-head screwdriver to the slots around the perimeter to get it off. It's a great hole puncher but is lacking in the rubber grip on the base. I'm docking a star for this.

This really is a heavy duty hole puncher. It is not lightweight and feels substantial. I was actually able to punch through 40 plus pages, at once, with one being an outer cover that was a little thicker. It did take a little more effort but, all in all, the item does what it says and works well. It will be very useful in my home office.

On the behalf of spark reviewer I received the bostitch EZ squeeze 3-hole puncher. I really needed a new hole puncher for my office, my old one was falling apart. The bostitch EZ squeeze hole-puncher can punch through 40 sheets of paper at a time. It collects all the pieces of paper at the bottom. I don’t ever have a mess to clean up after using this hole puncher wit h is great. I hated having to pick up all those little pieces of paper after hole punching them. There is a rubber top part so it’s Easter to press down which hole punching. I also love that there is a lock on this hole-puncher. Overall a great thing to have in your office or home.

I like the wideness of this hole punch, you get the leverage you need for punching through a lot of paper. Goes through the paper like a hot knife through butter. The only thing about this I found confusing was how to get the punches out of the hole punch. usually the bottom comes off completely but in this case, there is an opening at the front that you open (not without a little bit of muscle) and you shake it out that way. I think this leaves a lot to be desired because you won't get it completely cleaned out! Another pro of this is the paper guide that is built in so you know where to punch the copy paper. everything will always be lined up right each time. Although in fairness I've never seen a hole punch that didn't have this feature. This would be good for any office and will handle the biggest jobs with ease!
