Swingline Easy View 20-Sheet Capacity Two-Hole Plastic Punch

This product is a poorly engineered mistake. It has alignment indicators that are supposed to show whether the paper being punched has been inserted evenly. However, on the one I bought the alignment indicators themselves were out of alignment, and they forced the paper into a crooked angle. I attempted to bypass this flaw by removing the defective indicators, but the devices were actually the only part that even provided a solid edge for the paper to rest against. Paper can still not be inserted evenly because the surface at the rear of the insertion area is curved.

This model is complete junk, and my files are now ragged.
