Almost all of us will have used a hole punch if only when filing our work for school or college.
What should you consider when buying a new one?
Most hole punches produce two holes at standard spacing that fits general ring binders or lever arch files. Other punches are available for 4 holes (helps prevent tearing of sheets in 4-ring binders) or adjustable ones that can use 2, 3 or 4 cutters and the spacing can be varied – great for those unusual applications including some American 3 hole systems.
An adjustable paper guide is normally provided to help get all your holes in the right place. If you’re punching more than a few sheets at a time it’s well worth getting a heavier duty punch to avoid overloading and breaking a small one (The guarantee won’t cover you if this happens). Larger capacity punches are stronger made and normally have a longer handle for extra leverage.
