Our typical document sizes are 20-200 pages with small runs (we use spiral rather than pro-click bindings for large documents), at relatively low frequency, so we couldn't justify spending thousands of dollars for a professional hole punch machine.
This device is rated at 12 pages, frequently we have to cut that to 5 because sheets don't feed easily into the punch area. So you insert, if they don't go all the way in (you can feel the page margins bending), you pull out and slide in fewer pages, and shake the sheets a bit until they seat properly. It's very time consuming. I think there may be small shreds of paper at the punch holes that new sheets get caught on, or the hole punch surface area is uneven.
Once the paper is in, it punches fairly cleanly, but pushing down on the handle feels like you're squashing a sack of potatoes, and the lever doesn't always travel the same distance, occasionally making peculiar cracking noises. Not a functional issue, just thought you'd like to know.
Finally, this is a device that is designed specifically to put holes evenly along an edge of paper. But there are no longitudinal paper guides. So whether it's 8.5x11 or any other size, you're never quite sure if the sheets are all the way in and whether they're in straight. Over the course of using this thing, we've probably thrown a full ream of paper into the trash because the holes were punched at an angle or on the edge altogether (leaving a toothy line of half-moons on the edge). So then it's back to printing extra sheets, or even rebinding the document if you didn't notice the misalignment right away.
The binding tool mounted on the top is marginally useful. Our device arrived with a bent slide on the top, so you can set up the comb and insert sheets, but we have to squeeze the comb closed by hand (which works just fine.) Perhaps others will find the slider-thingy more useful.
I'd rate the entire contraption a "one" but, to be fair, it DOES work and it's reasonably durable and well manufactured (albeit with a quirky design). And the finished pro-click product looks very good.
My next purchase will probalby be a different brand of punch with same hole pattern.
