MAKEASY Coil Spiral Binding Machine 4:1 pitch - 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

LOVE IT!!!! I wish I would've bought it sooner. I usually take my things to Office Depot to get bound, now I don't have to. It's quick and easy to use. We homeschool and now I can get my booklets done quicker.

Does its job! Works well. Will last for years. For the prices that I was getting quoted for binding…. May as well own one and do it myself.

This product seems heavy duty and punched holes great in the middle section but the outer sides don’t punch all the way through. I was able to bind one small book but I had to manually punch through the outer holes which isn’t sustainable for all the binders I need to make as a homeschooler. I bought this product with recommendation from a friend who has one and says it works great, so I am not sure if it’s just a defective product, but my Amazon return window just closed three days ago.

I do family history books, this is great for doing multiple copies without the high cost of ordering online. Easy to use

so I can't actually give it 4.5 stars, but I would if I could. ==BUILD== this thing is heavy and you can feel how sturdy it is when you go to move it. I love the punch and how smooth it feels. it's obviously based on your own strength, but the arm swings cleanly and I never feel like my arm is going to break trying to use it. ==USE== I've been using it for school resources. a lot of content is available online, but sometimes, I just really like to have paper I can look at. I print some content, then bind it in a section I can take with me places. that part has been fantastic. ==IMPROVEMENT== if I could make some tweaks to this machine, they would be pretty minor--thus the 0.5 star deduction. first, I'd really like the roller on top to be adjustable speed. it won't grip, it won't grip,...it gripped! and now the coil is halfway off the other end. I'd like to able to slow that sucker down a bit. it also doesn't always do all the pages if your coil is nearly full. I had to manually fix almost the whole length of one binding I did because it missed 3 pages. if it went a little slower, I think I could've kept up with it and pressed it down flatter so it would all be included. also, I have a hard time adjusting the side margin. the pull bar seems to want to be all or nothing. it's kind of annoying. I wanted to be able to play with it, but I couldn't get it to be consistent, so I just pushed it all the way back in. finally, I REALLY want something to hold down the punch lever. spring-loaded scissors have a little clip to keep them closed. can we pretty please get a little clip to hold down the lever for storage? == OVERALL == basically, this is a solid machine. I look forward to Christmastime because I'm going to make my family custom calendars (shh!! don't tell them!). I don't foresee any issues with this machine and I think it's good value.

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.

The machine does a great job punching holes for spiral binding. Very reliable and sturdy. Holes are precise, everything aligns well when punching in batches. Just don't over do it on each batch. I don't bother with the coil inserter, as I find it convenient enough to do by hand. It comes with a large supply of coils, but I bought some others to handle larger documents. It's easy, and helps you organize loose papers brilliantly.
