GBC Binding System, Manual, Desktop Binding Punch, 6 Sheet Punch Capacity, ProClick P50 (2515650)

I homeschool, so end up printing a fair amount of material for my kids. This is a million times better than 3 ring, comb, or spiral binding options. With 3 ring options, the binders get broken, the rings won't match up, and there aren't enough holes so the pages get ripped out. With comb and spiral binding, the pages are secure, but it is very difficult to add or remove pages. This system is the best of both worlds. Lots of holes so the pages don't rip and they turn easily, but the binding opens and closes easily to add or remove pages. When it's closed, it stays closed, too. I bought this about 2 years ago, but it was broken. I tried to live without it, but just decided it wasn't worth it with so many years left of homeschooling. Technical details: - it can hole punch up to 4 or 5 normal copy paper pages. I use a heavier weight paper, so never punch more than 3 pages at a time. - the binding can usually hold about 50 pages (again, I use thick paper). - it can punch through laminated paper easily

Another well used and loved homeschool item! I used this a lot for binding curriculum and creating workbooks of students worksheets. Love to use the spines that click open with this because you can add pages easily and reuse them. I find that 3 sheets of paper is the maximum I do at a time because when trying to do more I make mistakes in lining them up properly. It goes surprisingly fast doing only 2-3 sheets at a time and I love to e finished product. Definitely work the money and you will get your moneys worth if you teach or homeschool!

Super compact and so far seems durable, I am able to comfortably hold punch 6 24lb pieces of paper. I’ve also used 20lb and 28lb paper and has worked great with all of them

The GBC Binding System is user-friendly and easy to store when not in use, but it has some limitations. It can only handle four sheets at a time, and no matter how hard I try the holes often don’t align perfectly making binding a bit of a pain. Also, the slider can be a bit sticky and noisy when moving. I've been using it weekly for about six months on around 250-300 pages each time, and it has held up reasonably well. However, it does feel somewhat flimsy, which raises concerns about its long-term durability. Considering I paid $107 for it, I feel it might be a bit overpriced.

Perfect for binding my homeschool curriculum. You can only do a few pages at a time but does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Very convenient and easy to store compared to the bigger ones!

This simple unit is surprisingly very good. I buy a lot of cook books, sewing books and patterns, as well as various other "cardstock" bound books. I hate that they don't lay flat, especially if I'm cooking a recipe or sewing a pattern. I couldn't justify giving office supply stores $$ for them to cut and bind my books. I saw home school parents using this for their kids curriculum. The cost was about what I would pay for a couple books to be "professionally" done. I messed up a few pages, misaligned the papers. Once I figured out what I was doing, it was an easy process. Now I've spiral bound several of my "books". I love it! Just be careful not to put too many or too thick sheets at one time. Also make sure the papers are completely installed.

I don’t know why I waited so long to purchase this binding machine! This makes my kids’ books stay together easier, they lay flat open, the binding open up to add or remove pages and the pro click binding spines are reusable!!! Which is seriously my favorite part of all! Easy to use, works great and doesn’t take up a lot of space. Win win!

I absolutely love this thing! I do think it is overpriced but at the same time, it seems there is nothing else like this out there. Honestly, it's a glorified hole puncher but it works very well. Heavy duty and seems like it will last a long time. It punches accurately everytime, it's lightweight and easy to store. As a homeschool mom, I am very happy to have this in my home.

Llevo más de un año utilizándola bastante y el sistema se sigue manteniendo sin problemas ni atascos y con la misma facilidad de nueva. Bastante recomendable

Not A4 size.. Now i have to cut it to fit.. That is the only issue

As an Australian homeschooler, I was after something affordable that’d help me bind pages together and can be reused again and again. And I thought this was perfect for us. Functionally, it’s great. It does exactly what it says it’ll do. But I wasn’t aware that the regular computer paper size in the US was much smaller than the regular computer paper size in Australia, so our Australian papers don’t actually fit in the machine 🤦‍♀️ - they’re about a centimetre or so too big. So I’ve had to cut all the pages down to size in order to create our booklets. It’s tedious and time consuming and totally not worth it. So as an Australian, I definitely don’t recommend it, but for those elsewhere in the world with small paper like the US, it’s great and works well, I highly recommend it.

I purchase digital files, print, and bind our Unit Studies and parts of our Curriculum. I watched several great videos on YouTube about how to use the ProClick before giving it a try and so far no complaints ! I purchased regular , plastic 4:1 coils and they work very well with this system, despite the ProClick punching holes at a 3:1 ratio. Pages still turn easily with no snagging and coils hardly stretch to fit the 3:1 configuration. I love putting things together and can see myself having a lot of fun with this. It is handy that the ProClick is slim and not exceedingly heavy for easy storage and mobility.

Would definitely buy this again! I am a music teacher and am using this for my students assignment books as well as my personal planner and really anything I want to bind nut need to have the option of adding or removing pages easily. Once you have learned how to make sure everything is lined up and the right amount of pressure needed to roll the puncher across you will be set. I recommend practising on some scrap paper before you attempt to punch documents that can not be replaced. The punch goes both ways. Make sure your page is lined up tight to the starting end or you will end up with unevenly punched pages. It does punch 6 pages with some effort. I prefer to do 5 at a time because it's a bit easier. If you have lots of pages to punch, put on a movie to occupy your mind or enjoy a phone call with a friend or relative. I have been using card stock for the covers and coverstock as page dividers. If you need a folder pocket, make one out a 9x12 envelope and cut it down to size and create an opening, not super professional but it works in the education field working with kids.
