Akiles WireMac-31 Model AWM31 Wire Punch & Binding Equipment, 3:1 Pitch, All 40 Disengaging Dies, Square (0.157″ x 0.157″) Hole Punch, Heavy-Duty, 20 sheets single punching capacity (20 lbs paper)

First review I have ever written. Great product, very stable design. We'll worth the money. The only binders I could fine locally are comb binders and the twin binders are much nicer looking products in the end. I get very professional looking end products now.

The hole inset knob really seems to have only two settings even though it shows four. So it punches deep in the page or close to the edge but nothing between the two.

There are lots of cheap options out there, but this is worth the money if you bind often or in a hurry. The handles are long so there's lots of leverage. The punching is clean and easy for lots of sheets. The only improvement would be using a toothed binding holder for sliding the sheets onto the wire. The spring clamp down doesn't hold the binding in precision so you need to carefully get the first sheets started. Other high end binders by Akiles have a toothed binder holder that keeps them in perfect alignment.

This machine is great for our small business. We use them for our price books. The only downfall is- once the wire is on, there is no way to take it off and reuse it without it becoming bent (unlike the plastic spines)

Overall great. The closure part too some trial and error on my part. But I think I have it figured out now.I love binding things now!!!

This machine will last a life time. So easy now for us to produce professional proposals in house with out the added expense of travel of shiping. Worth the price. It is a VERY heavy machine.

Heavy unit. should last well. Works well on the calendars I have put together.

Great for a small/medium office. Sturdy design and simple operation.
