Me encantó. Funciona excelente. Muy bien producto, fácil de usar y menos esfuerzo.

O furador chegou em prefeito estado, é de fácil utilização e com bom resultado.

Pros and Cons:Pros:This puncher is just what I needed to punch 140 lb watercolor paper to make travel and storage journals for my artwork. It makes the kind of holes found on daily planners in which the paper can be easily removed. It uses discs to bind the papers. Since I'm making my own journal covers, it isn't going to be a problem to make a cover that will protect the artwork.The Staples Arc puncher is more expensive on the Staples website than on Amazon! So I bought it and I'm glad I did.I can punch two 140 lb sheets at a time cleanly. It's a snug fit underneath the space between the blades so I don't think I could fit a third sheet in there at the same time. I like to use different kinds of watercolor paper and I cut larger sheets down to a portable size. I allow a margin off to the side or top to be able to punch where the artwork is not affected. If you space the paper right, you can punch a short length or a long length of paper.The puncher is heavy weight and at least I can tell so far, it's well made. The hole size does fit with the no-name 1" discs I bought in bulk on Amazon. The "confetti slide tray is in the front and easy to remove. The side margin setter is well made and easy to set in place. Since I am making journals of various sizes, it allows me to punch up to slightly more than 12 inches on the long side of the paper. This is a plus for me.So for the purposes of making my own thick 140 lb watercolor paper journal notebooks, with the ability to pull the papers out and put them back into the journal, it works for me. And the price was more than $17.++ cheaper than in Staples own store. So far, Amazon has the best price, even beating Walmart's price which was also $16.++ more expensive than Amazon.Cons:The only "complaint" I have, and this is with all specialty punch machines, is that the hole spacings are not consistent among all these type machines. Thus you have to buy the exact type of coils, discs, or wires for each type of punching machine. It's like that will most of the puncher machines out there so this isn't a complaint about this machine specifically.I do a lot of research for my other work and sometimes I download free pdf books for my research. This puncher doesn't seem suited for that because of the way the holes are unique spaced and I would have to bind the book with discs because no coil or wire will work with this machine. So it has its drawbacks. I ended up buying a comb binding machine for the book research also from Amazon.Some reviewers claimed little parts were falling out of their machines. I wondered if some machines were returned to Staples and were refurbished and sold on Amazon. I contacted the seller and told them about my concern. I haven't heard back but the one I got was absolutely new. And it seems well made to me so far.So for me it works. And Amazon has an A-Z guarantee. I don't think I will have to return this unless it falls apart. So far, so good.

Wow!

Brilliant piece of equipment. No faffing about with changing cutters or spacing. Clean cutting and would be lost without it.
