MAKEASY Coil Spiral Binding Machine - 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

Order arrived super fast! Machine is easy to use and works great!! Love it already! Cant wait to put together some books!

Nice and sturdy machine. Easy to use!

Broke after first use. Lever handle jammed and would not move after only punching 10 pages. Returned as I was unable to use again.

Great and inexpensive spiral binder machine for anyone that has a lot of pamphlets, booklets, articles, instruction manuals, inspection reports or documents that need to be filed. This machine is light weight adjustable for different paper sizes and with a sturdy handle that operates punching hole cutters. On the other side, this machine is failing miserably when it comes to the use of the automated spiral insertion mechanism. It simply does not work. In fact, if you insert the spiral connector into your booklet and press it against the roller on the top of the machine to continue winding your booklet binder through the booklet, it will simply wind your spiral binder in between the roller and the metal housing of the machine and ruin your binder. I just manually insert my binder into the punched holes.

Well-made, easy to use, and worked just fine for my 68-page document (I made several copies). Although I did have to buy and use1/2" coils, even though the chart on the binder reads 3/8" coils will fit up to 70 pages (it's comes pretty close). The binder comes with a box containing one hundred 3/8" coils and the snipping tool, which works quite well. I'm very pleased with its performance so far.

Compré esta encuadernadora para mi emprendimiento y ha sido una de las mejores decisiones que he tomado. El equipo es resistente, fácil de usar y realmente ayuda a ahorrar tiempo cuando tengo varios trabajos que entregar. Las perforaciones salen uniformes y el proceso de insertar la espiral es práctico, así que puedo mantener un ritmo constante de producción sin complicaciones. La recomiendo especialmente para quienes trabajan con proyectos impresos, informes o manuales. Cumple exactamente con lo que promete y se siente estable y duradera. Estoy muy satisfecha con la compra y, definitivamente, ha sido una herramienta clave para mejorar la presentación final de mis trabajos y optimizar mi tiempo diario.

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.

It actually works, and I was wrong to give this product a one star.
