Binding Machines, 21-Holes, 450 Sheets, Comb Bind Machine Book Maker with 100 PCS 3/8'' Comb Binder Spines Starter Kit, Comb Binding Machine for Letter Size, A4, A5 or Smaller Sizes

This works very well for oversized paper, like A4 or 12X9" paper. The cut blades are sharp so punching the comb-holes is very easy compared to others I tried. I am totally pleased with this binding machine. Especially at such an excellent price.

Works well, just be careful not to try to do too many sheets at ones. After the holes are punched, inserting the come is tedious.

I am taking some online coding classes and wanted some simple, custom notebooks/textbooks for my courses so that I could make the most out of the resources provided by the class. I wanted to be able to easily and quickly make the notebooks whenever I need them. That’s why I purchased this rather than going to the printing store every time I need a new book. I have never used a contraption like this before. It is very straight-forward and easy to use. I purchased this specific one because it has a full handle bar and I wanted something that was easy for me to push down on. It’s great! It comes with everything I needed and is ready to use out of the box. All you need is a printer and some paper(it does not come with clear covers, but I personally don’t need them). It comes with 100 of the black spines so I will be set for a while! I honestly think it is a good deal for the quality of the product and what I personally use it for.

PROS: o End result is nice o Affordable way to comb-bind a smallish number of pages and booklets CONS: o My experience was that the stated 15 sheet at a time capacity is a bit optimistic Would I recommend this to a friend: Yes, with caveats Overall, I am satisfied. I didn't want to spend a ton on a comb binding machine for the limited number of times I will have need of it. There is a little bit of a learning curve, not that it's complicated, but just getting familiar with it and learning what you need to pay attention to. I don't think I ever succeeded in punching 15 sheets at a time, more like 8 to 10. Which makes it a fairly long process if you have a document that is more than 20 pages, and you are wishing to produce multiple booklets. In which case, you have to punch multiple sets of pages, and you need to pay attention to which end of the pages is against the left guide. You have to make sure that you consistently put the same end against the guide. Whether you choose the top of the bottom doesn't matter, but you have to be consistent. Also, if you are using plastic front and rear cover sheets to protect the booklets, the same rule applies, as the holes may not be exactly symmetrically spaced from each end (depending on how much you fuss with the guide when you set up the machine). Also, using the upper station of the machine to install the combs into the pages is a bit fussy. I had to experiment to figure out exactly where to position the lever to have the fingers that open the plastic teeth on the comb positioned to best make the pages go onto the teeth. Even then, I found it a bit of an inexact science. Overall, the end result was pleasing, and I'm not sorry that I purchased this unit. Were I going to want to comb bind documents consisting of many pages, or produce booklets in quantity, I would look for something more expensive that would handle more pages and require less setup and manual fussing about.

For years I've been going to Staples to PAY to have this exact type of comb binding done, usually for a round $5, AND the time it takes waiting for the staff to get around to me. That could take anywhere from 20 minutes to half an hours depending on how busy the store is. I was rather surprised to find that the binding machine wasn't that expensive. This is an amazing value. You get 100 binding combs to start you off as well? Certainly, this machine easily pays for itself. This works great, is very sturdy, and reliable. Very pleased!

This is the WORST Design. God forbid something come loose or become misaligned. there is literally NO WAY to fix anything on here. This thing has not worked since I opened the box! It came to me with misaligned teeth and would not cut through a single paper because of it. And when I went to try to fix it? Nope! Forget it. You CANNOT fix it. you just have to buy a whole new system.

Can be a little tricky to get sheets onto the comb. Have to be careful not to disengage the tines of the comb before your work is completely threaded.

I love this machine and it was great value for money! I was able to punch everything I needed to. My only problem was the binding spines, my books kept falling apart.(could be my rough toddlers) but happened to a few other ones I made as well. I wish I was able to use metal spines with it. But overall amazing product, would recommend.

Produto corresponde ao descrito e é de excelente qualidade.

Funktioniert sehr gut! Einfach zu bedienen. Binder lassen sich weit öffnen. Abstand der Stanzlöcher vom Papierrand einstellbar.

Correspond à ma demande, pratique travail soigné

Dopo diverso tempo di utilizzo posso dire che questo prodotto non deluderà le aspettative, molto robusto, facile da usare e con un risultato davvero eccellente. Allinizio è necessaria un po' di pratica e di calibrazione per capire bene come inserire i fogli, come fare i fori dritti e quanti fogli forare alla volta, ma una volta presa confidenza si rivela uno strumento davvero utile e funzionale

This item is so easy to use, if you know how to use a binding machine, I read all the reviews before settling on this one. I have not experienced any trouble with it, I used multiple thicknesses and numbers of pages and had no issues with the punch. This item should advertise that it also comes with a supply of coils. Best investment ever! Would work great in any office!
