For those who are slightly puzzled (seniors, non-mechanical people, or those having a moment of Brain Fog - LoL!) when you pull the hole punch out of the box and discover the paper won't go in far enough to be punched, make sure you remove those 2 little odd black flat clips, as shown in the photos! They are easy to remove, as long as you depress the top silver handle all the way down, while removing the 2 clips! They release the handle fully to retract the 3 hole punches, so you can fully insert the paper!
Don't try prying them out without squeezing the handle together. Otherwise this could be a little frustrating and the packaging doesn't mention this. Its It's Easy when you know how! I hope this saves a few people from getting frustrated!
I am Very Happy and Satisfied with this punch!

Why not five stars? Every so often, the uppermost hole doesn’t cut cleanly and gets slightly stuck, and I have to re-punch, which I don’t love doing. But it’s not that common, and it is something I’ve seen with every type of punch I’ve ever used.
As far as the people complaining there are no guides, there ARE. There is one at the back so the paper doesn’t go in too far, and there’s another at the bottom—if you’re holding the punch in your left hand, and the paper in your right, slide it in and then slide gently toward the bottom. There is a small lip there that tells you the perfect position to stop in for the paper to sit properly in the binder.
If, like me, you get in a hurry and sometimes flip things around, it won’t work as well. The holes won’t line up where you want them if you do it with the punch in the right hand and the papers in the left. That’s not the fault of the device, mind; it’s a reflection on the orientation of the rings in a standard three hole binder. This is a one-way-for-proper-use device, but when you use it right, it works beautifully.
Oh, and I’ve abused it as far as using more sheets than recommended at a time, because I don’t sit there and count them. It still does a great job, and the spring is still nice and springy.
For the price point, totally worth it. I’d give it five stars if it didn’t get stuck every now and then, for sure.
