Reviews

The only punch to buy

"It's so solid and perfectly punches the Discbound holes. 15 pages is easy, it can get a little more if you push it. This one is really solid, you will never think this feels cheap when you use it."

M (5/5)

Solid, great for office

"The normal desk punch can only handle so many pages, which is fine for an individual, but working on an office this one really comes in handy."

D T. (5/5)

Best punch ever

"Best stay planner punch I've used. Makes quick work of it, doesn't get stuck often, just great. . ."

Dee D. (5/5)

Essential for circa lover

"This desk punch is so luxurious. It lets me make whatever inserts I want for circa at home. I like that it doesn’t take a lot of pressure and can handle multiple pages. When not in use it looks sleek and nice on my desk. Feels expensive. Don’t think it will break"

Rachel D. (5/5)

Good quality

"I had seen a friend using this product and found it to be very expedient and convenient to use. It’s easy to make notebooks for briefings, training, planning, project management. . it’s endless. It’s a great tool for organizing, but the best feature is just popping in new/updated pages easily."

Gabriel S. (5/5)

A great way to make your planner work for you

"A super convenient solution to changing your planner for the task at hand. Really useful."

Brian K. (5/5)

. Great for office use

"The other punch works great for personal use but if you're using discount notebooks in the office, this is what you need."

KC (5/5)

Perfect Punch, Every Time

"I absolutely love the Circa Leverage Discbound Notebook Punch. It’s incredibly sturdy, easy to use, and punches clean, perfectly aligned holes every time. The leverage design makes punching effortless, even with thicker paper, and the results are consistently professional. I use it constantly, and honestly, I couldn’t live without it. If you use Circa notebooks or discbound systems, this punch is 100% worth it and an absolute must-have."

Delmalynn R. (5/5)

Needed for watercolor paper

"Need to punch something thick like watercolor paper? This is the answer."

M (5/5)

"This is my second time purchasing this punch. I use it for my Etsy shop. It’s an excellent punch! Punches smoothly and cleanly. The paper guide makes it easy to align the paper exactly the same every time."

Q&A

Does this punch the half-letter 8 disc (Junior) size?
Yes, all of our punches can punch all the sizes.
I bought a Leverage Punch several years ago and recently got a Midway-sized notebook. My current punch doesn't have a Midway setting. Does this one? If not, any tips on positioning paper so holes align with a Midway-sized notebook?
We currently don't have a "Midway" selection on our current punch guides however we are working on getting that added. You can use the Letter setting on the punches for Midway size paper. There is a 1/16" discrepancy so the paper doesn't line up EXACTLY but it's very close.
Is there a setting for the Steno notebook size?
Sorry there is no preset setting for the Steno size.
One of the punches is stuck down so I cannot get paper in to punch it. How do I release the punch?
If you are within 1 year of purchase we'll be happy to replace it however all circa punches can only punch a small amount of paper at a time, going over that amount will cause the punch to get stuck and there is no way to fix or release this as it's now damaged. If you need a replacement please call our call center at 800-544-0880 for assistance.
Will this punch through laminated pages and bookmarks?
This is designed to punch paper, punching anything else may cause the punch to jam.
