Product Information

Full details

This 5Star 2-hole punch is designed for users needing a durable and reliable tool for organizing documents at home or in the office. Its key benefit is the ability to punch up to 40 sheets of 80gsm paper with precision, thanks to its sturdy metal construction and adjustable paper guide. A potential caveat is that the punch capacity is optimized for standard 80gsm paper, and exceeding this may require more force.

FAQs

What is the maximum number of sheets this punch can handle?

The 5Star 918591 hole punch can handle up to 40 sheets of standard 80gsm paper at once.

What paper sizes is this hole punch compatible with?

It is designed for A4 format paper and punches two holes suitable for standard binders.

How do I clean the hole punch?

Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the base made of?

The base is made of plastic and features a non-slip design for stability.

Can I punch cardstock or thicker paper?

While it can potentially punch thicker materials, the stated capacity of 40 sheets is for standard 80gsm paper. Exceeding this or using very thick paper may reduce the number of sheets that can be punched cleanly and may require more force.

Does the punch have a confetti collection tray?

This model does not feature a built-in confetti collection tray; the punched-out paper circles will fall freely.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Punch mechanism is stiff or difficult to press.

Ensure you are not exceeding the 40-sheet capacity for 80gsm paper. Check for any small paper fragments lodged in the mechanism and remove them carefully. If the issue persists, the internal blades may need cleaning or professional inspection.

Holes are not clean or are ragged.

This can occur if the punch is over capacity or if the blades are becoming dull. Reduce the number of sheets per punch. If the problem continues with fewer sheets, the punch may require maintenance or replacement.

Paper does not align correctly with the guide.

Adjust the paper guide to ensure it is firmly against the edge of the paper. Make sure the paper is inserted straight and not at an angle.

Puncher slides on the desk during use.

Ensure the non-slip base is clean and free of dust or debris. If the base material is worn, consider placing a non-slip mat underneath the punch.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
