Bostitch Office 3-Hole Punch — Metal, 12-Sheet Capacity
Product description
Manufacturer: Bostitch Office.
This compact three-hole punch uses a robust all-metal body for long service life. Precision steel punch heads are engineered to cut cleanly through paper, with a rated capacity of up to 12 sheets at a time. The punch makes standard 3-hole spacing with 9/32" diameter holes.
A rubberized base pad stabilizes the unit and protects tabletops during use. The lower section includes an easy-clean chip tray that slides out for quick disposal of paper chads. The unit is designed for regular desktop use and comes with a lifetime limited warranty. Included in the package is the punch unit with its removable chip tray and integrated alignment guide for consistent hole placement.
Pros
- Durable all-metal construction

Cons
- Requires more force near capacity

VerdictA reliable desktop punch that combines metal durability with clean performance. It handles standard three-hole tasks up to 12 sheets with little effort, stays put thanks to a rubber base, and keeps workspaces tidy via an easy-to-empty chip tray. Good for home or office use when you need a simple, long-lasting hole punch.

Handy compact paper punch
Perfect for quick everyday tasks. I typically do about six sheets at once and it works with minimal effort. The locked storage mode is useful for keeping it closed and saving drawer space.

Solid, heavy-duty punch
Feels well made with a solid metal body. It punches up to 12 sheets smoothly, and the rubber base prevents slipping. The removable tray keeps scraps contained. Compact enough for a desk and looks professional.

Reliable everyday tool
Very sturdy and cuts cleanly. The rubber base stops it from sliding and the tray is simple to clean. It does require a bit more force when punching near the 12-sheet limit, but otherwise dependable.

Sturdy and dependable
Surprised by how well it’s built and how smoothly it operates. Metal construction feels durable and the rubber feet keep it planted. The lever is comfortable and the punches are sharp, producing clean holes. The chip tray is easy to empty. Designed for standard three-hole use rather than specialty bindings.
