Comments about Mcgill Inc. Mcgill Inc. Punchline Hand Punch: Ribbon:
Device appears sturdy and is comfortable in your hand while using. However, requires tedious hand picking of hanging chads because it does not cleanly and completely punch the shape out. Although inexpensive, you eventually lose time trying to correct incomplete punches, money on damaged pieces and more money buying a different more reliable device. I'd rather pay more for a device that gets the job done right the first time. I didn't consider there could be a big difference in handheld punches that would lead to such frustration.
