Review: Works very well.
Review: Soooo much easier and better than a manual hole punch. My students use it and because it is electric they don't mash it like they would a manual hole punch. A light press on the front top of the hole punch and wow!. Only downside might be that there are no guides for exact punches on multiple sets of papers. Doesn't bother me and I've worked that out. Wish I had purchased one sooner. By the way, I have one for home and one for my classroom.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what type of staples does it use**
A: It is a 2 and 3 hole punch.  There is a stapler as well.  It looks to take regular staples.  Before anyone disagrees, it’s sitting on my table right now.

**Q: What is the longest length of paper it can hole punch? Will it hole punch legal size paper?**
A: Yes you can do legal size paper, that is the longest size paper I have used.  I would think that just so the paper fits into the hole punch space the length of the paper might not matter.  Hope this helps.Ron

**Q: Can anyone tell me the specs of the ac adapter? is it a standard ac adapter?**
A: Yes, it is standard. I keep mine plugged in all the time.

**Q: Can you punch papers that have staples in them?**
A: No, it won't punch through staples, if you are using stapled sheets to keep things in order it wil punch the paper just so long as you don't go over the 15 sheet maximum.

*by M***R on 2 September 2019*

Rarely do I write product reviews because most products are just O.K? However on that rare occasion when I do run across what I feel is an exceptional item, I will speak out. The Swingline Optima 20 Electric Paper Punch deserves my recognition. I was killing my hands and wrist punching holes for my binders. I started looking on the “net” for a solution and came across the Swingline product on Amazon. I read the reviews. Some good, some…not so much! It wasn’t cheap, but then I don’t usually buy cheap. I figured for what they were asking, it better be decent. Well, I am here to tell you, it’s more than decent. Not only is it well design but it looks good, so far for me it is working flawlessly. All I can tell you is that the folks having problems with this hole puncher have not read the instructions, or they could have gotten a defect. S**t happens! Twenty (20) pages is its maximum, not 30, 40 or anything else you try to shove in it. And I don’t need it to be adjustable. I’ve had mine about a month, and it works like a hot knife through butter. One person complained because they still had to press the top. ROFLMAO! I don’t need them to try and put in an electric eye and jack up the price to $200. A two year old can press that puppy! Get one and save yourself some work. Can’t believe I haven’t gotten one long ago. TJ PS: I am updating this review and attaching two photos. Swingline has updated this "punch", model 74520. I received the one on the left which is not shown on Amazon yet. It was delivered from OfficeMax which I understands gets Swinglines newest first. IMHO this new design is even better, especially for the poor folks that still have to push down on the top! Another reviewer said it was too loud…really? LOL! Get one feel the relief!
