Product Description
The Swingline 1-Hole Punch provides reliable punching wherever you need it. The solid metal punch is built for durability. With a smooth, slim handle and a classic plier design, it easily punches a 1/4” hole through as many as 5 sheets of paper. A built-in compartment holds punched paper chips to reduce mess. When it's full, simply open it over a waste paper basket or garbage bin to empty it. Pocket-sized, all-metal chrome punch is small enough to tote into the classroom or office and is durable enough to withstand whatever you throw at it. Built strong for long-term use.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022Size: Pack of 1 (Chrome)Verified PurchaseWe bought this little single hole puncher mainly for punching, well, single holes! I've used mainly to punch the mounting holes for my homemade Mountain Bike mudguards/fenders, as these are the easiest and most versatile option (you could use a drill but there's more chance of it going wrong). BTW those mudguards were made out of thin plastic sheets, basically binder divider sheets. I like how these have a little "storage" flap at the bottom, which will retain all the little bits of holes you've punched out. Every handful of uses, you'll probably want to dump the the stuff out so it won't get clogged in there. It will also punch though thin cardboard, like TP rolls.
I do wish these punchers had a foam or rubber slide-on grip covers, as after repeated punching, especially through thicker materials, your palms will hurt a little bit. Also, I do wish that this puncher had a little, sharp raised "lip", how these single hole punchers work is there's a flat, completely dull little metal disk that just uses brute force to punch through the material. If it had raised, sharp edges around the disk it'd be easier to punch stuff.
However, all single hole punchers I've seen all "suffer" from these two "drawbacks", so take that as you will! Overall, solid puncher, oh, and it punches decently clean holes (some other reviewers say it punches really badly), you will probably need to clean up the edges a little if you're picky about the holes, but nothing major. And I almost forgot, I've had this puncher for over a year now, I use it maybe once or twice every month now.

Additionally, Amazon indicates for this listing that the item is overall not a returnable item except under the case that the item is defective (which it is). Unfortunately, each path I have taken has ended in the item being non-returnable even though the item is defective. I also cannot seem to find a way to contact support about this item specifically.
