For the most part, the comb openers on these machines aren't quite long enough and you have to punch your sheets. That is why, print and copy shops, or other organizations that find they need to bind legal sized documents on a regular basis should take a good hard look at the Durabind 242. The Durabind 242 gives you a lot of flexibility and at a very good price.

This kind of versatility at such a low price makes the 242 one of the smartest buys on the binding machine market.

This is a well designed machine too. There is a separate handle for the punch and the comb opener so the system can be placed against a wall for saving space in your office, and that the comb opener parts and components don't move during the punching process, saving wear and tear and helping to ensure a long machine life. And speaking of the punch, this machine can easily punch fifteen to twenty pages per lift, or two plastic covers. That's a lot of power in a small and well-priced package. The heavy duty, all metal construction of this machine ensures durability, and the punching dies are hollow ground and self sharpening, meaning you get years and years of trouble free operation. To top it off, though you are not likely to need it, the 242 comes with a two year manufacturer's warranty.
