Bostitch Office EZ Squeeze Reduced Effort 2-Hole Punch, 2 Sheets, Locking Handle, Silver (231)

Item is durable and easy to use. Perfect for my classroom use.

This two-hole punch is amazing. I know that sounds dramatic for office supplies, but seriously — this is the best one I’ve ever purchased. It’s still pretty new, so maybe I’m in the honeymoon phase, but right now it’s perfect. It says it can punch through 40 sheets, but I’ve easily done 50 with no problem. It’s sturdy, smooth, and makes my office life so much easier. Honestly, it’s been one of my favorite work purchases. My only “problem” now is trying to keep my staff from using it because I just know someone will ruin it — that’s how good it is! Highly recommend this 100%. If you need a reliable hole punch, this is the one.

Best ever, nice and smooth and easy on the hands and wrists. Definitely great for every day use 👍

punches nice clean holes, simple paper guide, heavy durable steel, makes punching fun again!

When I first opened the package, I was concerned since the box was small. Well, it’s perfect for small office spaces. This hole puncher is small and the handle locks down, taking up less volume space. I included photos of it in both locked and unlocked position for your reference. There’s also a photo for box/product size reference compare to a small mouse on an 8.5 x 11 file folder. Also, you can adjust the paper size with the slider but it can easily slide out when you pull. So pull with caution; not a big deal since it can be put back in easily. Oh, it’s an easy punch! So the two winning points for me are the compact size and easy punch/squeeze; very comfortable to use. Note, this is not the same brand that was advertised but the design and capacity are the same.

Bostitch Office EZ Squeeze is an attractive two hole punch that will look good on a desk. It definitely is easy to punch through a stack of papers with very little effort. It has a nice weight to it, so it shouldn't slide around very much. It's mostly made of metal, a rare occurance nowadays. Being able to lock the handle down is a very nice feature, it could prevent someone from accidentally hitting it and knocking the punch to the floor. There is a small pin that you slide to the left to lock the handle down while you depress the handle or slide to the right at you depress the handle, a very useful feature. There are two small, round rubber feet at the rear that probably won't grip very well, from the looks and feel of them. Unfortunately, it has several negative features. 1. There are no instructions with it, so hopefully, my review will help those who aren't at least a little mechanically inclined. 2. The slide for adjusting the paper widths (8.5 and 11 inches) isn't very sturdy and can be pulled completely out with the possiblity of losing the adjustment slide. If the punch falls to the floor with the adjustment slide out, the slide could be broken. There are two detents as you pull the slide out, one for 8.5 inches and one for 11 inches, just pull the slide out until you feel the detent for the size paper you are punching. 3. The chip tray locks on the body very nicely and it a bit difficult to open if you have weak or arthritic hands. The chip tray has a plastic hinge that probably wouldn't last long if the tray is emptied often. I don't know if the tray will stay attached once the hinge breaks, after one use I can see stress marks in the hinge. Just be careful to only lower the chip tray a little to dump the chips so you don't put added stress on the plastic hinge. The two hole punch does the job but I still have the above concerns and don't find it to be as rugged as older Bostitch products that I've owned or used.

This hole punch is great - it really saves space and folds up small. Only potential complaint is the ruler that helps you line the page is plastic, so I worry that may break in the future, and the hole punch container underneath is also plastic (as opposed to rubber) and it could break if opened too much. Just be gentle with it. Also note that the one that I got had "bostitch" written on the handle portion - the image on amazon is of some other company.

At first, I got uneven punches (one side of the page was higher than the other), as it took a little care to line up the paper properly. I've adapted the technique of using two fingers on my right hand to push the paper into alignment and my left hand to punch the holes. Not a bad punch after that. However, for punching a few pieces of paper at a time, the tool is great. I keep it in front of me all the time. For more pages, I have a heavy-duty punch, but that's too large to keep close. As a second punch, I would highly recommend this device.

Not described in advert. This is not a UK regular sized hole punch. Useless purchase

Works like any hole punch

Billigschrott,und vor allem, man kann es für Europäische Lochstandarts überhaupt nicht gebrauchen. Hab ich gleich weggeworfen...

Really good quality and easy to use but unfortunately punch hole spacing is 70mm which must be a US standard. I purchased it to replace a broken 2 hole UK standard paper punch with holes on 80mm spacing so despite great quality this has turned out to be a waste of money.. Amazon should really give hole spacing information on their product details for products of this type.

Totally useless in Australia. It is fixed to punch holes that do not fit any standard ring binder. A complete waste of money. Amazon ahould not be offering it for sale without explaing that it is NOT fit for purpose in Australia
