- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2024Color: AssortedStyle: 1 Hole PunchVerified PurchasePerfect in a preschool classroom. My little ones can easily use these to make hole punches while building hand muscles. It is easy to empty it and cuts well. They are about the size of a normal hole punch so it is easy to store them or throw them in a basket for use. They have good sturdiness but I had to replace one of them shortly after purchase because the latch that let's you empty the paper snapped. Otherwise, all the other ones I've purchased haven't had this issue.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024Color: AssortedStyle: 1 Hole PunchVerified PurchaseI've had this hole punch for two years. When I first got it, I LOVED it. It cut through a few sheets of cardstock like a hot knife through butter. Long story short, I would highly recommend this hole punch for light duty - like a couple of sheets of regular paper at a time. Unfortunately, the fact that it has plastic parts is a major design flaw. After a couple of years of holes through cardstock, the plastic has broken and it's going to have to go in the trash. Annnnd, I'm back to using my 20 year old metal one until I get a chance to replace this one with something sturdier.
