GBC 7706170 Report

GBC 7706170 Review by Emily E. Jefferys (San Diego, CA)

I was so excited to get a personal combbinder and had tried to research carefully before ordering one online. True to advertising, this combbinder easily punches through 8 sheets of paper and neatly stores the clipped pieces in the tray. It's simple to operate (good thing, because the instructions are 5 cartoon pictures). The one and only con? It's a BIG one. I couldn't get it to punch the combbind aligned properly so that it was far enough away from the edge of the paper- no matter how many times I tried. It cuts off the edge of the paper and notches it- but leaves nothing to attach your binding to! Over and over! I'm not an idiot, either. There are no troubleshooting instructions, no phone number to call, no address to write to- nothing. There is no way to manually adjust the alignment. This machine simply notches the edge of your paper and ruins everything you put into it. Of course, there is always the chance that I got a bad apple in the lot that is manufactured incorrectly, but I'll never know, because it's going straight back where it came from and I will not be ordering another one!
Buyers beware! :(

GBC 7706170 Review by Paul A. Messier "coffee barista" (Florida)

Light weight, but suitable for small personal projects. I used it for my instructions booklets for easier handling. Will also organize my printed recipes, etc. Strictly home use, would not stand up to office or school use.

This is a good personal binding system that works as advertised. The only issue I noted was it will punch 8 sheets at once, but you really have to work to get them in. I settled on 5-6 sheets per punch-action because of the difficulty putting more than 6 sheets in the puncher and I didn't feel like pushing so hard on the punch -- 6 punch just fine.

The day after I receive it, I punched and bound 10 80-page booklets with no real problem.
