Question 1

Does it punch through lamination easily?

Accepted Answer

With the manual Pro-click desktop binding I can punch thru a 11.5 photo paper laminated with a 3 mil hot lamination sheet but one at a time and pushing the machine towards the wall as support. Because it is thick material I have someone holding the laminated photo paper in place and I do a strong chick pass. If you don't hold well the sheet in place it will come off in one corner. for regular 24 lb inkjet paper I only put in 3 sheets at a time, tried 5 sheets and I had trouble.
For the covers I use Fellowes Binding Presentation Covers, Letter, Black(it is plastic not paper, much better than paper),    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PMC8DY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Question 2

Is this fit to punch A4 papers?

Accepted Answer

No, it's for US letter size (unless you use it  to punch the short end which will give you a landscape format book).  For A4 paper you need GBC ClickMan Binder available on Amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/GBC-ClickMan-Personal-Portable-Capacity/dp/B001TPU2OO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406642064&sr=8-1&keywords=click+bind+binder

Question 3

does this package come with the editing tool?  It appears so from the illustrations, but wanted to check.  thanks.

Accepted Answer

I don't think so.  This is just the hole punch.  I did buy two boxes of the spines (in two different sizes) and they both came with the appropriate opening/closing tool for the spines in the box.  I'm not sure exactly what "editing" you want to do with this, but this is just the hole punch for binding papers.  It's not for actually publishing them.

Question 4

Are there spines for this machine that can hold 150+ pages? I need to make a large booklet with this but the largest spine I've seen is 85 pages.

Accepted Answer

Google for 3:1 spiral binding - make SURE it's 3:1, that's what size this is. The largest I've found is 60mm / 2 inches, which says it will hold 440 pages. Only warning - spiral binding can take a little bit more time to install, but the flexibility in size and color and price makes it worth it for us.
