    Good enough
    4 Stars
    Good enough
    Ordered PaperPro but got a Bostitch. The product looks exactly like the one ordered, so not complaining. It does well with 20 or so pages, but will not completely punch a hole in a stack of 40 pages, even when I whaled on it. With 20 or so pages, it is relatively easy to punch the holes, so it is more efficient to punch 20 pages or so at a time. The holes are nice and big, so the pages are easy to fit into a binder. Another nice thing about the big holes is that when I re-punched the holes for the stack of 40 that did not punch, they punched through well. I will keep using it, and if it wares out too soon, will change my review.
