Reviews

Good for what it is

"It's works well enough, I prefer the bigger one. I didn't really need the portable part like I thought at first. Nothing wrong with this one, but the other you can punch Manny more sheets at a time."

Ken (5/5)

Discbound punch

"This is a unique tool and very handy. I have different size notebooks and I use this tool to make pages I printed out fit my notebooks. The discbound tool has three sections which allows for me to adjust to the size I need."

SYLVIA S. (5/5)

Portable Discbound Notebook Punch

"OMG, Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my single page punch, got it just in time to punch some pages to take with me for a conference!"

Mimi H. (5/5)

Portable Discbound Hole Punch

"I like that the punch supports multiple planner sizes. The system for switching sizes is very easy."

Delese B. (4/5)

Buy the better one

"This is my second review after several months of owning this product. If you are serious about Circa then buy the metal punch. This will do in a pinch but deals with only one page at a time. Certainly we can wait until we get home to use a real punch? This one is pretty much cheap plastic junk"

Rod M. (1/5)

Just perfect!

"This little guy is magnifique! I use this for print-outs of my morning affirmations, three little pages twice a week- just perfect!"

LC (5/5)

Will do in a pinch

"This product is made of cheap plastic and will only punch one sheet at a time safely. If you need to travel with a punch then this will do the job. Otherwise buy the metal one that is made to last. The sale price is the right price. I paid $30. Too much"

"So happy to find this here Rare item indeed"

Sherry (5/5)

Light weight but it doesn't reliably punch

"Look, it's light, it's low cost so that's great. However, I REGULARLY have one or more of the (METAL) hole punch things get stuck in the "down" position so I can't get my paper out without either ripping the paper or opening the bottom (releasing all the little pieces of punched paper on myself) and manually pushing the thing out of the hole. Other times I didn't push my piece of paper all the way in and don't realize it until out comes a page with half punched holes. Oh goody. I have taken to not punching more than one page at a time and bracing myself for much finagling to get what I want. What a pain."

Q&A

will the punch work with single sheet 3x5 or 4x6 cardstock?
The Circa punch is only recommended for use with single sheets of standard-weight paper. It is not designed for thicker materials like cardstock, especially in smaller sizes such as 3x5 or 4x6.
Will this work with the new jotlet?
Yes, this punch will work for the jotlet; however, the paper for our jotlet refills is thicker so we recommend only punching one sheet at a time
How would this punch work with A4 size paper (does it have a guide, or can it at least be used with the paper size)?
The Portable punch is able to be used on A5 paper however we do not have a guide to line up that size with the punches
