Reviews

Great build

"The build quality is outstanding, solid, heavy-duty steel that feels like it will last forever,and it delivers clean, precise punches every time. It handles multiple sheets smoothly (up to about six at once), which makes quick work of turning loose pages, printouts, or notes into perfectly organized inserts. What really sets it apart is the versatility. The adjustable guides make it easy to punch a wide range of paper sizes, so everything from small notes to full letter sheets fits seamlessly into my notebook. It’s incredibly satisfying to customize your setup exactly how you want it."

D H. (5/5)

Sturdy and precise

"This punch is a total workhorse for anyone using the discbound system. It handles several sheets at once with ease and the alignment is perfect every time, so you don't end up with crooked pages. It feels heavy and well-made, like it will actually last for years. If you want to turn your own paper or printouts into notebook pages without any hassle, this is the tool to get."

A Necessity for Career Planning Notebook

"This desk punch is just what I need to stay organized as I progress through my career coaching program and job search activities. I need to insert coaching handouts, custom trackers, resumes, etc. in my career planning notebook and this punch will get lots of use. It is heavy and well made - feels like a vintage office piecel!"

Should have bought it sooner

"I’ve had the travel Circa punch for about 10 years and I’ve always wanted the desktop one. I should’ve bought it sooner. I’m able to punch several sheets at one time and also heavier weight paper."

Q&A

What is the maximum thickness of card stock this pinch can handle?
We do not recommend punching anything but paper with our punches. Anything else will cause the punch to jam.
