In Japan, its more common to find 20 ring files than the usual 6 ring files. However its hard to find the right type of hole punch. Usually its made of metal fully making it very expensive or you have to resort to buying a one hole punch and punching out all the holes by yourself. Even then, those are usually quite bulky and hard to store. Not to mention quite tedious to use.
Recently, I chanced upon this
5 Hole Punch
To use simply line your paper against the guide on the long part of the punch.
After pushing down on the top part, you will have 5 holes punched out.
To punch more holes like 20 holes for your file, simply feed the paper back in and line it up as belows.
To empty the punched out paper, simply pop the bottom lid open.
At first I was certainly dubious as to how well this could work but it does the job perfectly!
Its also lighter and more compact than most other options whilst being easier to use as well.
What do you think?
