TIANSE Spiral Coil Binding Machine, Manual Book Maker Punch Binder with Electric Coil Inserter, Disengaging pins, Adjustable Side Margin, Comes with 100pcs 5/16'' Plastic Coil Binding Spines & Plier

I love this thing and a hardly ever use it. I've had it for a few years now and have never had an issue with it. I have also never completed a single project that I have set out to make with this binder. Operating it is very simple and straight forward. If you've ever used a regular paper punch, it's like that. But way cooler. It's heavy duty, easy to use, and great for craft projects.

Going to save so much money with this thing! I am always paying to bind PDFs for one reason or another, and it's expensive. It's true, the coil inserter runs a little too fast, and it isn't perfect. But coiling by hand is simple to do. The machine is really sturdy and incredibly easy to use. I am going to start binding my own personalized, lay-flat, 8 1/2" x 11" journals now. Let's face it, I am going to bind anything I can think of. This thing is so cool! And with the $40 off coupon, the value factor is huge. I almost bought another highly rated machine for $318. This machine was still more than 50% less without the discount. The Tianse Coilbind BM-S2050A would be worth every penny even at full price.

I use this machine to bind materials that I use in my special education classroom. Adapted books, social stories, individual packs of materials for my students to trace or write on, the possibilities are endless! I have even gotten brave enough to try the electric feature to run the coils through....and it works!!! It took me a minute to get the hang of the cutter/crimper pliers, but the instructions are spot on. I haven't really moved the sliding thing that adjusts where the edge of your book goes for hole punching, but it is super easy to adjust. You empty this binder just like you do a hole punch. This one has a drawer like feature that slides out so you can dump the contents easily into your trash can. I have learned that carrying the binder from home to school without emptying that drawer will leave your floor covered with tiny little glittery discs....they look pretty and vacuum up super easily, but be warned...they can annoy your husband! I definitely recommend this product.

I write music, and this is exactly what I needed to coil-bind my own scores. No more bringing stacks of pages to the copy center and waiting weeks to pick up the finished project -- only to discover that they put in some of the pages upside down. Now I can do it all at home This punches nice, clean holes, and the long side of a standard 8.5"x11" sheet can be punched in one go. I use a lot of "legal size" paper -- 8.5"x14" -- and those require two passes. But everything lines up perfectly, so that I was able to do dozens of stacks of these long sheets with no mis-punched or off-center holes. A couple of modifications would make this a five-star product: * When I saw the electric cord, I assumed that you would just push a button to punch the holes, but that's not the case. There is a manual pull-over lever that works the punch. The electricity just spins a little grooved cylinder on the top of the unit, that assists in loading the plastic coils through the holes punched in the sheets, which is cool, but not really necessary. Motorizing the punch itself would be a definite plus. * Making the unit a bit wider so that it could punch 14" sheets in one pass would be useful. On the other hand, that would make the unit larger, and more difficult to fit in tight spaces, so maybe it's fine the way it is. * Some clear instructions on how to use the odd set of pliers (included) to dress the ends of the coils, would be handy. I had to go to Youtube to figure this out. Finally, be aware that LONG coils don't seem to come in sets of assorted sizes. Each set is 100 (or more) of one size only. Since a set can run you $30 or more, if you need several sizes, this could be expensive. OTOH, 11" coils DO come in assorted sets, so if you're never binding anything longer than standard letter-sized sheets, it can be fairly economical. Over all, a good, well-built tool, which does what it's supposed to do, and does it well.

I love it when I receive the perfect product to get the job done. I print my coloring books on 67lb bristol vellum and it punches without issue. Of course, I can't punch 20 pages as my paper is thicker and it shouldn't according to its specification. It easily punches multiple sheets of cardstock as well as 140lb watercolor paper. Oh, and punching 8mil covers is not a problem either (I punch 3 at a time with ease) Binding isn't much of a problem either as long as everything is lined up. I read the reviews and took a gamble and it paid off. This is a great little machine!

This binder is super useful for organizing packets, workbooks, and printed projects. It’s satisfying to turn loose pages into something that looks polished and finished. It saves time (and money) versus going somewhere to bind. Great if you make planners, homeschool materials, or business packets.

Not that great! The part that punches holes is still manual. The only electric thing about this is the part that makes the spiral binding go through. Even that, you still have to insert it 3-4 times before it spirals through

This product is amazing! I work at a retreat center and I have to bind books frequently for our guests. This machine is sturdy and easy-to-use and it has saved us tons of money by binding books ourselves. Our machine arrived with a motor that wasn't working as expected and we reported this to the Tianse customer support team and they shipped us a new machine in the matter of a few days. They were incredibly responsive. We love this product and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a binding machine!

C’est une excellente machine! Après l’avoir bien ajusté, j’ai pu commencer tout de suite mes documents et les reliés. Elle est facile à utiliser et elle fonctionne très bien

Works Beautifully and very smooth. Easy to use. Great quality and price!

I purchased this spiral-binding machine recently to punch 200+ pages of 28 lb paper. I was happy with the performance. The manual was clear that the first few pages would have machine-oil on them and gave a cardboard sample to help clean it out. I found that even after using the cardboard waste-piece, my first few "real" punches were oily, but that issue quickly went away. The rest of the 200 pages came out perfectly. Small complaints: I found that punching more than 5 pages of 28 lb was a bit tough, so I stuck with 5 pages at a time. I also found the margin adjustment knob to be very stiff. I haven't tested the electric roller yet. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

good to use and affordable price. Highly recommended.

I am really happy with how easy this is to use. I have made a few test punches, and have made a couple books with various types of paper to see how it manages with various thicknesses. Since I bought this to make my own notebooks/artbooks, I like how you can modify how many holes you are punching and margin spacing. This is a very easy machine to use for a beginner.
