Rapesco 1054 720 4-Hole Metal Punch, 22 Sheet Capacity, Black

Accurate and strong. Perfect for projects on A4 paper. Cuts a reasonable stack of papers. Easy to use

Excellent, does exactly what it is supposed to do. Very good quality, nice and sturdy.

Does it work is the only thing I care about (it does), so I got mine in hot pink to save a few quid.It loses one star as the product page showed a *very* vague centre marking, which you would use to centre your page (if you didn't want to use the grey guide on the left). I have added my own marking with a pen. I don't know how long that will last.To be clear though, this star was only taken off because it represents a difference from the description. The grey guide on the left works perfectly well to line up your page, so there's no real issue here (as long as it doesn't break).The hole punch lock seems like a bit of a pointless feature, but it works, and it's easy to disengage (without even touching the slider)The page guide (on the left in my picture) also seems a little bit pointless.* 1 : when *NOT SET* to a specific page size it will be at it's most useful (4 hole A4)* 2 : it's hard for me to read (I think that's a colour thing, but I do also need glasses)* 3 : there's 2 A4 settings!- The A4E setting will let you hole punch the top of an A4 sheet (I can't see myself ever using this)- The A4S setting will let you punch the side of an A4 sheet .... with 3 holes rather than 4?I'm not sure how this is ever going to be useful!The unit seems quite sturdy, so that's good. Only time will tell if it lasts.

Good quality, does exactly what I need it for

I needed a four-hole hole punch. This one seemed to fit the bill and so far it’s worked perfectly. It’s compact, the lock to keep it shut is a nice touch - means it takes up less space in the drawer and seems well made.

It does exactly what it should: punches four holes consistently in every sheet of A4 paper so my octogenarian mother can continue to file her bank statements.

Admittedly I've just received the item and have only used it to punch holes in 12 sheets of 100 gsm paper and 12 sheets of 170 gsm photo paper, but it did the job cleanly, easily and accurately without jamming up. It needed to be accurate as all 24 sheets had to line up. It feels heavy and sturdy. It does say it can cut 22 sheets but I think it's always a mistake to load to the max - maybe that would indeed make 'plugs' that jam the holes. I probably did only 4 sheets of paper at a time and the photos individually. The locking mechanism is handy so that it can be put back in the box, as it isn't something I'll be needing too often. What I have noticed, though, is that it punches slightly smaller holes than my regular 2-hole punch - hard to measure but I reckon approx 5mm vs 6mm. I'm pleased I bought it.

Good heavyweight hole puncher for 4 holes
