This is a great entry-level binding machine! I wanted to create more professional-looking directories than the usual cheap plastic comb binding, so I searched for a spiral or double-loop wire binding option. This machine does both but is best for the wire loop binding – which I decided on because spiral binding requires a special crimper tool that costs $10-15 extra. It came with twenty 7.9mm binding wires, ten plastic 8mm (inner dia.) spiral coils, and a complete extra set of padded feet & screws.The blue cover is moderately thick plastic, which seems kinda cheap but it works just fine. I used 28# paper, 10 mil clear plastic, and 16 mil PVC covers. It can punch holes easily through 2 plastic covers or 6 sheets of 28# paper at a time (or 10 pages of common 20# paper). There are 3 settings for distance from the spine edge, which need to be set correctly to avoid the paper edges binding up with the book open 180 degrees or more. The side dial sets the wire loop crimping based on the width of the wire binding. It effectively maintains the adjustment settings without slippage.The instructions are not great, but once you figure it out, it’s a smooth, easy process to make professional wire-bound books. If you’re not sure of the wire binding diameter or can’t calculate the conversion between metric and imperial measurements, there are easy to read size references on the top.I am completely satisfied with my purchase, and would definitely recommend it to anyone that needs to make 200 or fewer professional wire-bound books at a time.

Overall this binder does what I need it to do. It’s a good product for the price. I said I did not get any wire bindings and they got right back to me. Good customer service! My only gripe is the instructions are very small and hard to read. I recommend watching the video. (also, the handle is underneath the machine when unpacking).
