Coil Spiral Binding Machine 4:1 pitch - Manual Hole Punch - Electric Coil Inserter - Adjustable Side Margin - for Letter Size/A4/A5, Comes with 1 Box 5/16'' Plastic Coil Binding Spines & Plier

LOVE IT!!!! I wish I would've bought it sooner. I usually take my things to Office Depot to get bound, now I don't have to. It's quick and easy to use. We homeschool and now I can get my booklets done quicker.

Why did I wait so long to buy this?! I am obsessed with my binding machine!!!! I probably should have bought the one that doesn't have the little electric part on top because I have never bothered to use it. I adjusted the margin for my booklets a little, and I am happier with that. I had to adjust the top and bottom margin a bit with the paper guide (this will make more sense if you actually have the machine in front of you). Initially, my papers and covers had a half hole at the bottom. Adjusting this fixed the issue. The only other issue I've had is that I bought some thick, leather-looking plastic covers. The first several books I made with them, I had trouble getting the bottom five or six holes to punch completely--even punching one cover at a time. Since then, I have accidentally positioned my hands on the handle differently, and everything punched fine!!! Like. . . I punched all the rest of the pack of 50 when I was having a good day because I'd had so much trouble in the past. No problems. The trick is to put more weight on the left-hand side of the handle.

This product seems heavy duty and punched holes great in the middle section but the outer sides don’t punch all the way through. I was able to bind one small book but I had to manually punch through the outer holes which isn’t sustainable for all the binders I need to make as a homeschooler. I bought this product with recommendation from a friend who has one and says it works great, so I am not sure if it’s just a defective product, but my Amazon return window just closed three days ago.

Good machine, good value for the cost. Standard page capacity, not for production use, good for home use. Wire spines are much easier to work with then the other styles. The roller on top is nice for installing the bindings. Build quality is good, steel machine, however at one point our original machine had a small plastic part break, which made the machine no longer work and we ended up replacing the machine with the exact model again.

this is a awesome spiral binder what's super great

The machine does a great job punching holes for spiral binding. Very reliable and sturdy. Holes are precise, everything aligns well when punching in batches. Just don't over do it on each batch. I don't bother with the coil inserter, as I find it convenient enough to do by hand. It comes with a large supply of coils, but I bought some others to handle larger documents. It's easy, and helps you organize loose papers brilliantly.

Nice and sturdy machine. Easy to use!

Very handy machine
