Leitz Heavy Duty Hole Punch, 65 Sheets, Guide Bar with Format Markings, Metal, 51800025 - Red

A few months ago I bought a Leitz heavy duty stapler and was most impressed with its heavy duty performance. It sunk staples through a 70-page play I had printed off with ease without a single mis-fire. It also felt reassuringly solid in construction. So I thought it would be a pretty safe bet to order the Leitz heavy duty hole punch, right? Right indeed! This is a two-hole punch, and its build quality is very impressive - actually better than their HD stapler as the punch is manufactured from solid metal (aluminium the web states) and not a metal chassi covered in ABS. I have not tried to punch 65 sheets as it claims to be its maximum capacity so far but have tried a few wadges of 40 pages which it cut holes through without any hint of shirking or baulking. Its construction feels bullet proof. So, I am happy to give this a solid five stars. I also like Leitz because it is a German company, and I trust and respect solid German design and engineering. Excellent product.

Prior to ordering the Leitz 5180 2-Hole Punch, I was using another branded puncher, that had been held together by packing tape and a paper clip, having previously undergone various niggly repairs. The build quality was awful, and it only lasted one month of use before it's first snap. I've now had the Lietz 5180 2-Hole Punch for a few months, and it's still as smooth as the day I received it, slicing through wads of paper with apparent ease. The lever action is smooth, as is the release, and the handle/grip is superior to other punchers, meaning my hand doesn't slip off with a particularly tough punch, not that the Lietz 5180 seems to find any quality of paper/light card particularly tough to punch. The guide slights easily, but stays still when in a notch and I am impressed with the overall build quality; it doesn't feel cheap, and seems built to last. Basically, the Lietz 5180 is everything you expect in a 2-hole punch.

If you have to punch holes in lots of sheets of paper, this is the one. It’s stunning how easy this thing goes through paper, like a hot knife through butter. And the built quality is great too.

I have a small business which uses lots of paper and I need to keep copies of documents. Cheap hole punches do not work and are a waste of money. This was not cheap but in the long term will be cheaper than replacing others every few weeks

Very well made and with no fiddly bits (unlike my old Rapesco one). The paper guide works, and works well and the lock switch for space saving also works far batter and is less fiddly than other makes. Ok so hole punches aren't the most exciting things in the world but this one looks nice and is really good...

The hole punch arrived within a few days of ordering. It is larger and heavier than anticipated, but does the job well and the handle can be locked in the horizontal position so it will easily fit in a draw. This product chosen mainly because the size slider looked more durable than the flat plastic I have seen on other hole punches and while it appears to be plastic as opposed to the metal claimed in the advert it does look as if it will not break easily.

I opted to spend the money (£37.60 all up) because I was fed up with my Niceday-branded heavy duty punch: even on a heavyweight metal machine, the paper guide was flimsy plastic and regularly slipped off its A4 setting. I've had the Leitz for three weeks now (bought Aug 2013). It is a sizeable and heavy piece of kit, built to go easily through wads of paper using the leverage from the handle. I can't fault it on that, but it feels 'wrong' when punching holes in a single sheet of paper when there's no resistance. The paper guide is plastic, but is a rigid triangular section, and it stays firmly clicked into its A4 notch. Overall it's well-made but probably has more grunt than most users will need!

Finally, a hole punch that will put holes in a chunk of paper. Fed up with punches that struggle to chew through two sheets of paper? Then this tough boy is for you. A joy to use. Solid and kerchunk, puts holes where it should.

Rien a dire c'est de la super qualité , elle est puissante et perfore des paquets de feuilles sans problèmes!

No es muy grande, pero hace perfectamente lo que anuncia, es regulable a varios tamaños de papel y al tener una palanca larga no es necesario hacer demasiada fuerza. Buen producto.

Todo un acierto , despues de probar otras máquinas mucho mas caras , pero que estaban lejos de la calidad de la presente .

Der Leitz-Locher ist ein stabiles Gerät mit dem man zur Not auch einen Einbrecher in die Flucht schlagen kann. Wirkt massiv, man hat was in der Hand und das Ding tut genau das was es soll: Lochen Und das prima, auch ein paar Blatt mehr werden durchgelocht ohne Mucken. So soll und muss das sein! Klar ist der Leitz relativ teuer, wer aber von klapprigen Billig-Lochern genervt ist wird sich über dieses Produkt sehr freuen. Anschlagschiene ist mit dabei, so sitzen die Löcher immer richtig. Hebelwirkung gut, mit wenig Kraft lassen sich viele Seiten lochen. Bin sehr zufrieden und würde mir das Produkt trotz des Preises jederzeit wieder kaufen. So ein kleines Spielzeug kommt mir jedenfalls nicht mehr ins Haus. Davon abgesehen überlebt mich der Locher vermutlich sowieso :-) UND! Die Mehrkosten sparen mir unterm Strich mehr Nerven als ich je an Geld einsparen könnte.
