Leitz 30 Sheet Black Ergonomically Designed Hole Punch with Guide Bar

NeXXt Range, 50080095 - Black , 30 sheet punch = £10.79 After decades of using many cheap, rubbish punches that are blunt and only do a few sheets at a time whilst requiring you to use absurd amounts of strength, I decided to make doing the filing less of a chore and invest a whole tenner on something decent. Did my research and came up with this. First impressions are its like something my grandfather would have used and was built to last. This one is mainly metal construction with a few bits of plastic like on the base and the paper length adjuster. Both bits of plastic are solidly constructed inspiring confidence in longevity. The mechanism to remove the punched paper is absurdly easy - no more fighting to release the catch only to end up with bits of confetti all over the floor to add hoovering to what should have been a simple 30 second job. If you've read this far, do yourself a favour and just buy it - and stop wasting your time and go do your tax returns!

For those of us who prefer to keep paper files, this is essential - being able to punch through many pages at a time, it saves time and effort. The hole puncher is of good quality and will last many years.

Love this product! It's everything I ever needed and wanted. I've handle A LOT of papers and I'm usually the least organized person I know, losing papers and stuff. So I came up with the idea to purchase binders and dividers so I can make booklets out of everything I need to read. But, I needed a puncher. I was at first a little hesitant when buying this product because I thought it was pricey, but now that I've got it, I have no regrets. This little gadget can punch holes in a lot of papers at one go. The device is sturdy and you can adjust the setting. When you have adjusted the setting, it stays in place (it won't slide onto another setting unless you do so yourself). I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who needs a little bit of organization in his or her life.

I've been using the Leitz brand of office stationery for many years. They are well designed, functional and well constructed. I bought this Leitz hole punch to replace my old Leitz - simply because the plastic paper measuring rule had broken (plastic turns brittle with age). I rang Leitz UK who said no spare parts were made for the paper measuring ruler. The metal section of the hole punch was still working. Hopefully, this Leitz hole puncher will last longer.

I knew this day would come. The day I sit in front of my computer reviewing hole punches on Amazon. Ah well, sweet gentle reader you came here for a review and so you shall have it: The Leitz 50080095 picks up where the Leitz 50080094 left off. Leitz have retained their classic black and silver styling, but that is where the similarities end. The biggest difference is the punch gauge - a 1mm increase might not sound like much, but in the holepunch universe it is a lightyear. Where before punching through a twenty deck of invoices, whist effective, felt workmanlike. Now it slides through them like it was born to do it. And let's face it, it was. If Jessica Simpson was designing a hole punch, it would look and perform like this - sleek, sexy, powerful. Not often words used to describe a piece of office stationary, but this is not mere stationary. This is a business management device. You will never look at your Rexel Bambi stapler the same again. 5*

I had my prfevious punch since I was at school, and without going into details that was a long time ago. It gave up finally so having read all the reviews I bought this one. What a splendid bit of equipment. I previously had to use all my weight to get through a maximum of four pages, and now this takes a good number and is an easy action. Very well made - sturdy yet compact. Very happy with this and I'm sure it will last for years - probably see me out!

If you need a quality puncher, this is it. Might as well buy a quality one like this if you want a puncher that can last years. I had to discard 2 of my previous punchers that were poor quality (I bought them because they were cheap) because their body either broke, or the holes just stopped making clean round holes and I had to manually poke the papers to remove the punch holes. So yes, instead of having to buy a few poor quality, extremely cheap ones over a year, you might as well buy a proper one.

This is a well made item that does just what it should - not a lot more to be said. My only niggle, which is why I have given it 4 stars rather than 5, is that there is no locking lever to hold it in the closed position. This would have been useful when storing the punch in a drawer, so it takes up less room and doesn't snag so easily on other objects. I have to use the plastic transit strap that came with it - crude but effective.
