BiraBira 6 Hole Punch, 8 Sheet Capacity for Planners and 6 Ring Binders

Yes yes yes!! I love this so much for my binder. Super easy to use and even punches through laminated paper. Comes with a manual and all the adjustments you need. Alignment isn’t accurate for my binder personally but it could just be that my paper isn’t true to size lol.

I recently purchased the Bira Adjustable 6-Hole Punch, and while I encountered a bit of a hiccup with the initial delivery - it arrived broken - the customer service team was incredibly helpful and arranged for a swift exchange. The replacement arrived promptly and in perfect condition. Now, onto the punch itself. I must say, it exceeded my expectations. As someone who loves to customize pages for my planner, this tool has been a game-changer. The adjustable hole design makes it easy to create various types of pages, including pocket minis, agenda pages, and planner inserts. Measuring at 7 1/4” X 2 3/4” X 1 7/8”, the punch is a decent size and fits well on my desk without taking up too much space. I’ve found it to be incredibly versatile, as it works well with different types of paper, allowing me to get creative with my planner layouts. One thing worth noting is that the product’s color may vary slightly from the photo image, but this wasn’t a significant issue for me. Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase. Despite the initial setback, the Bira Adjustable 6-Hole Punch has proven to be a reliable and effective tool for hole punching my cash envelopes and customizing my planner pages. It’s definitely worth considering if you’re in need of a versatile hole punch for your planner or other paper projects.

Some information that I found useful but not listed on the description (at least I didn't see): - It punches 5mm (or 6mm?) holes. If you wish to have 4mm holes, look at their 3 hole puncher. - It does work for Mini 5 size. I purchased a Raymay Fuji one from JetPen before. The Raymay one feels like, and indeed is, a piece of plastic. It only works on 2 sheets of paper, and the cut is not very clean. This one is different. It feels very sturdy and leaves very clear hole cuts. It says the capacity is 8 sheets, but... depending on your paper weight, you can, probably, do 10 - 12 at once. The Raymay Fuji one claims 2 sheets, and it means 2 regular weight sheets. You can't even do a slightly thicker card board. This one can, and this one can handle some relatively soft plastic as well (for example, your hobonich pencil board). I tried to use it to punch holes on a very very very sturdy plastic board, it failed, but it didn't broken either. Seems like it has protection mechanism - I can force to push the handle down, but it go through the plastic board. I mean... it's great! I shouldn't have used such material, and it didn't break even though I tried. That's great.

This thing is pretty good. I've been about to cut through my pencil boards and I love that I could change the spacing of the holes. Edit: I've used it to punch holes into my Travelers notebook pencil board and it's strong enough to do that. Huge fan.

It's nice and compact and easy to set, punches index cards well. The setting of the hole spacing is not super secure, they tended to move slightly as the waste bin in the bottom gets full, som sometimes the alignment is a bit off. If you empty it frequently that shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise, it does what it's supposed to and it has a metal body so it feels fairly durable. Worth the price.

This hole punch is easy to configure for my Filofax since the punches move in 2 carriages of three. It seems solid and punches through cardboard or 10 pages cleanly. All is great; EXCEPT the holes get punched too far into the paper for my A5 filofax. The standard holes on the Filofax are centered 7mm from the edge of the paper. This product punches the holes with a center 10mm from the edge. It doesn't sound like much difference, but that extra 0.1" makes turning the pages harder for my Filofax with 15mm binder rings. The extra paper margins interfere with other pages inside the binder rings. Too little distance from the edge would be a non-starter, but too much space can be corrected. It just takes a little MacGyvering. The problem was that the paper can push too deeply into the hole punch carriages. So I wanted something to push into the carriages to keep the paper from going too deep. I found that two small toothpicks from the Victorinox Classic SD Swiss army knives fit perfectly. They push into the sides of each punch carriage and reduce the depth that the paper can be inserted to be punched. They fit snugly and almost look like they were made for this purpose. Now, I can't tell the difference between the original Filofax paper and the paper that I've punched.

Exactly what I was looking for! It’s compact, strong, and feels well made. No issues with the hole punches, and it’s easy to adjust to the right sizing.

I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. I have been using my Cinch to punch my binder inserts, but that is cumbersome and time-consuming. Finally, I decided to invest in a six-hole punch and I chose the Bira. I am an avid paper crafter, blogger, and craft challenge owner. I like to recommend products that are not only economical but also well constructed. The Bira punch meets both of those criteria. Additionally, it works very well when punching through heavyweight laminating pouches (10 mL.) The only problem I have had with this punch is my tendency to inadvertently move the locking mechanism but that is more of a user issue than a problem with the product. Like all punchers of this size, the waste tray is small and should be emptied often to avoid jams.

Excelente , cumple con lo publicado,

It was hard to find an A5 punch for my filofax that wasn't either an ugly colour or just not sturdy enough (8 pages isn't tonnes but it's better than one at a time!!). This works really well, the lock makes it not too huge and it looks good. Be warned that the holes are a little closer to the edges than on the pre-punched sheets I've got in the same organiser, but I prefer that as it means there's more paper to write on. It took a little while to come (I can't remember if it was more or less than anticipated, just that I didn't get it straight away), but that wasn't a problem as I'd had it sent to the wrong address and because it wasn't super fast there was enough time for me get it changed before it became a problem. It's even cheaper now than when I got it (and the black is cheaper than the white, but I was happy to pay extra to get the white). I'll definitely buy from Bira Craft again.

I bought this after seeing it recommended by other Filofax users as a good fit for the Personal size. Overall, it works, but there are a few limitations. Because the paper I cut to Personal (A6) size is almost the same length as the punch itself, alignment can be tricky. Even with the guide, I sometimes end up with slightly uneven holes. I mainly use it to punch letters and notes for my planner, which it handles fine for smaller batches. While it’s advertised as having an 8-sheet capacity, I find it quite difficult to punch more than 5 sheets at once without applying significant force. It’s still usable for light, occasional use, but could be improved in terms of alignment and ease of punching thicker stacks.

So I was hesitated to get this cuz the video showed Sunlit instead of Bira on the product. But I emailed bira craft and they said Sunlit is for the European market and Bira for the American market. they sent sunlit to the North American customers only if they are short on the Bira ones. So yeah, the hole puncher work as expected.

Está bien hecho, perfora los agujeros con precisión y también es agradable a la vista.
