Bostitch Office 3 Hole Punch, 12 Sheet Capacity, All-Metal, Silver

Bostitch is a well-known brand because they make great products that last. After going through cheaper brands of 3 hole punches and getting so frustrated with poor results, i finally checked out a bostitch. I was really pleased with the sturdiness of the product, it’s so easy to use even when punching through several papers at a time, and it was so reasonably priced. I wish i would have purchased this product years ago!

This is good at punching through a stack of pages at once. I maxed out at 15 and i think it can go more, i just didn’t have more i needed to do.

It has a clean lineup bar. It opens easily to clean out the punch dots. It punches cleanly, no hanging bits.

It’s small enough for easy storage and strong enough for most everyday uses. This one is a great buy. I like it.

For the money this is an excellent 3 hole punch. Granted you won’t be able to punch 50+ sheets at a time but at this price would not expect to. Very sturdy. Great value. Excellent performance.

I really like this product, it seems pretty sturdy and well-made. 12 sheets does push it just a little bit so i’d recommend 10 or less just to maintain products durability, quality and longevity of item. Really easy to use, lines up perfect every time

After using a hole punch that got jammed every single time, i am so happy i have a new one that works well! I have used it for 10 pages and it worked flawlessly!

It works really well! I absolutely love it

Sharp and looks sturdy to me. Hope i can get years of use from this one.

Unable to use. Very disappointed. But you get what you pay for.

This small 3 hole punch does the job well! It punches multiple pages easily and perfectly. It’s made of very nice substantial metal. I think it will suit my needs for a long time to come.

Was a perfect addition to my home desk. Very durable and chic looking.

My only complaint is that the paper lines up on the bottom and not the top – but otherwise it works as expected.

It doesn’t have an adjustable slide to define where the top or bottom of the page should be. Instead there is a small ridge that serves the purpose but is easy to miss that and misalign the punch placement. I like it but dinged it star because it could be better. If all you do is one or two sheet punches this could be fine. I’d prefer a unit with a noticeable paper rest.

This little guy doesn’t look like much, but it punches above its weight, for sure (ha ha). Seriously, i am trying to organize a very disorganized parent, decades worth of stuff, and much of it was going into binders. I couldn’t find his punch in all the chaos and bought this one. It’s inexpensive, good quality, and has held up well to a significant amount of use.
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.

No doubt i received a used one, but it works fine. I was looking for a cheap hole puncher to organize important papers. It arrived with two separate pieces. I am not sure if it is broken or i have to assemble it, i couldn’t figure it out. It also has some scuffs and scratches that let me know it was used. It was $5, it’s $10 or more everywhere else. Bleh, it’s whatever. It gets the job done.

Es práctica.

Product seems very well made. Sturdy and solid. The only reason for the deducted star is the fact that there is barely a stop for the bottom of the paper. It might catch one sheet so you have to line them up before putting them in the punch. Not sure how much an extra 1⁄8 of metal sticking up down there adds to production costs but i’d be willing to pay the difference. Works for me because i rarely use it but i would imagine that someone that uses it every day would get annoyed and it would slow them down.

This had to be assembled. There were no directions included, and it took several tries to get it right, plus it took a decent amount of force to get the pieces connected.
The punches are strong, and the press is easy to operate. You can also punch a good amount of papers at once.
I would like the base to be a bit longer–enough for a guide or mark to allow me to easily and consistently center the three holes on sheets of 11′ paper.

While it works great, if you don’t line up the paper evenly the holes are not in the correct place. It doesn’t have the guides for the paper

Had to replace an old hole puncher. This one is nice. The only downside is it doesn’t have a lever/handle like my old one (which i knew from the stock images). Still very nice. Recommend

My 3 hole punch came in a box for bostich charging organization so i the wrong instructions. If you don’t know how to remove the safety tabs, hold down the puncher like there’s paper in it and they will pop right off. I’m assuming this is not authentic bostich since wrong box and wrong inserts but the 3 hole punch works great, once i figured out how to remove those tabs!
