Avery Heavy Duty View 3 Ring Binders, 1" One Touch Slant Ring, 250-Sheet Capacity, 1.4 Inch Wide Spine, Great for Home, School Supplies, Office, or Organization Needs, White Binders (4-Pack of 79780)

A repeat purchase of these strong and useful binders. They are well made and the lever to open the two circles works well.

The most important feature, for me, is strong rings that don't get mis aligned. I like the clear plastic covers and spine for placing labels. I use these every year for tax returns, financial documents, and important correspond. As for an improvement, how about a finger hole like the European standard binders ? It makes them easier to pull out from a shelf.

The Avery Heavy Duty View 3 Ring Binder has truly exceeded my expectations when it comes to durability. As a student who's constantly on the move, this binder has proven to be an absolute workhorse. The one-inch slant ring mechanism is not only easy to open with just one touch but also incredibly sturdy. It securely holds my 8.5" x 11" papers without any worry of them slipping out or getting damaged. Even with daily use and the rough handling typical of school life, this binder has held up impressively well. OVERALL: BUY BUY BUY

These binders will serve my purpose for organizing and storing household documents - they won't be constantly in use. I like the one touch locking and closing mechanism - others here have complained that the mechanism doesn't work properly and the rings don't fully close. I've bought a few of these now, and they have all been fine - my advice would be to test the locking mechanism right away to make sure you didn't get a lemon. It's nice to have the inner pockets too, but as others have noted, the clear plastic is pretty thin - I wouldn't exactly call it "heavy duty". :)

I can't really think of anything exciting to say about a binder, but these are good quality and seem to last forever

I gave a family history project to all my relatives for Christmas this year, and these folders were perfect for it. I never realized how awful most folders are with their round rings, that are hard to open, and that make such a loud noise when we shut them. And these come with unusually nice pockets in the front and back. I thought I'd miss having color options, but I think the white turned out nicer. And we could add any color we want by sticking a pretty piece of cardstock in the spine and the front & back covers.

At first I thought the 2" binder would be too big. But after I finished the first binder with the start of my project, I found that 2" was just about right. I have no doubt that for ordinary paper this binder would, indeed, have held 500 pages. But I am in the midst of archiving photographs from about 50 years of collecting. By archiving, I mean that I am securing photos and other documents onto card stock, placing in cover sheets and placing in the binder - all with acid-free products, including acid-free photo corners, acid-free card stock and acid-free cover sheets in an acid-free binder. The capacity for this project per binder is 60-65 sheets. It requires sturdy products and this binder fits the bill. The only issue I have had is shifting the pages from one side to the other - but that may have to do with the thickness of the pages rather than a fault of the binder itself. One thing I would have liked would have been protective acid-free plastic sheet protectors to place at the first and last of the archived photos for easier turning of pages.

Excellent binders. Have been using them for years and they hold up well
