Filofax Notebook Holepunch Grey

I managed to punch about 10 thin single pages (thin 75gsm 20lb 25% cotton bond), but only by leaving each page in place and slowly - with extreme cautious pressure downward on each end and the middle of the punch -- repunching every page until all of the shafts manage to cut their bit out. I'm disabled, low income, and had both a friend and a cousin die in the last month. I didn't get to troubleshooting to find out what's wrong with it until 5 days past the return window. And this was the *second* punch - replacing a previous one that didn't punch but mangled/tore every page terribly. This is the dealbreaker for me. Filofax changed their "fountain pen friendly" paper to paper that is no longer smooth or even friendly to gel pens -- forget any plans to use fountain pens. I have a ton of high quality 25% cotton 20/24lb bond paper that would work great... if the piece of crap that filofax calls a "functional" punch (ha! it works... NOT) ... and then they charge literally more than FIVE TIMES what a swingline or bostitch brand hole punch (and the other punches can even punch 3-6 pages at a time!) I've been using filofax moveable notebooks for 20ish years. I'm trashing them as soon as I run out of refills and switching to discbound or 3:1 double loop or click bindings (size I own a rayson 3:1 square hole punch that work great with 3:1 coils, 3:1 double wire loop bindings, and rayson's 3:1 plastic click bindings.

Pricey & a little bulky, but it works well.

This product is not representative of the Filofax brand reputation. Please test this product as it only can punch one page at a time with any accuracy over time. We have other similar punches (From Levenger) than are still going strong (10+ yrs todate). So disappointing...

This seems well made and will probably last for many years. I found I can I only 2 pages at a time. For the price paid, I would expect it would be capable of punching more that that.

Agree with other reviewers that this is well made and effective. It would be great for sure if it punched more than 2 pages at a time but, given a pack of Filofax refill dotted paper only contains 32 sheets, it doesn't actually take long to produce a pack's worth. Also filofax only does white dotted paper and I wanted cream so I prefer my own paper. A pack of 100gsm cream paper from Prestige is about about 2p per A5 page (I buy A4 and use a guillotine after printing on dots and templates). I also like creating my own templates so this is a no brainer as well as saving money. Agree that a guide would be useful, but I've found a little clip like in the picture does the job perfectly.

Jag använder den med nöje.

A parer mio è decisamente comoda e fa risparmiare soldi, perchè al posto di comprare i refill si creano con qualsiasi carta si preferisce (io ho un notebook a5 e ho comprato delle risme a4 che taglio a metà per fare le pagine). I buchi che fa sono perfetti, ha anche uno scompartimento che raccoglie tutti i ritagli dei fori fatti. L'unico difetto, se va trovato, è che può bucare al massimo 2 fogli alla volta (con carta da 100gr); in realtà mi è capitato di bucare anche 3 fogli alla volta e i fori erano ugualmente perfetti, ho solo fatto più fatica io a farli. Ma in realtà il tempo speso a forare 2 fogli è poco perciò si può anche spendere qualche minuto per forare un blocchettino di fogli. Ho trovato molto utile che sia segnato dove porre il foglio per fare i buchi (ogni formato ha la sua posizione)

Je cherchais une alternative aux cahiers atoma et c'est chose faite ! Les produits de cette marque sont bien moins chers tout en proposant une belle qualité (à voir sur le long terme évidemment). La perforatrice s'utilise facilement bien qu'il n'y ait pas de guide en plastique pour maintenir la feuille. Il faut donc regarder pour positionner la feuille correctement à l'aide des marquages. Attention, la perforatrice ne peut pas perforer plus de 2 feuilles à la fois ! Je n'ai pas testé plus pour éviter de l'abîmer. Je vous conseille cette marque pour un usage privé ou pro si vous n'avez pas trop de feuille à perforer. De mon côté, je compte l'utiliser pour mon métier d'enseignante.

Locher ist größer und schwerer als gedacht, aber gut verarbeitet und funktioniert einwandfrei. Ich konnte tatsächlich nur je 2 Seiten gleichzeitig lochen, aber das stört mich nicht. Super! Bin zufrieden.
