Great Pink fan!
When you get this item, please check all the slide positions. Mine slipped on some of the positions, not holding fast, so I returned it.

Opt for a different brand
I bought this thinking I would save myself time and confusion punching inserts for my personal planner- which this is specifically marketed for. There are no English instructions and the stickers that come with it are a) not affixed yet and b) make no mention of personal inserts. They mention something called G-A6 which I'm not familiar with. So basically trial and error comparing my test punches against another pre-punched page was required to figure this thing out and I still feel like I'm winging it. I would probably have been done sooner punching by hand with a sibgle punch after tracing the holes from the fly leaf. Spend a few bucks more to get the rapesco or similar brand that is clearer to understand and has more conventional paper indicators. Also this one leaves black marks on your paper.

Great product!
Happy to have gotten this! Was frustrated at first on how to use it but then pulled out the white lever and read for sizing! 5 stars!

Sturdier than I expected, completely adjustable, clean even punches.
I was surprised by the heavy metal construction, just like a quality letter-sized paper punch. The paper guide is made of the same rigid, yet somewhat pliable plastic as the paper hole receptacle. I can see how it could become bent or misshapen if care is not taken to push it in even and straight, but if you're punching A5 paper you wouldn't have it extended all the way out, anyway. I suggest storing it with the guide pushed in so it doesn't become snagged, thereby potentially yanked at an angle. When you slide it out, there are page size markings on the slider and the slider conveniently clicks into place for each marking so you don't have to fiddle with positioning. It says it can punch up to 6 sheets. I had to struggle getting a folded piece of plain copier paper into it at first, but after a few depressions of the unit, the springs loosened up nicely. I tested it with card stock and six sheets of copier paper and it works fine without any hanging chads or ragged edges. The pegs are mounted onto sturdy metal plates, three pegs per plate and the plates slide easily side and click into position. Nice design. That, too, alleviates position guessing. Overall, I am very pleased with this punch and I'm glad I didn't opt for a cheaper one.

Perfect and easy to use
I didn't want to buy this hole punch because I thought it was expensive for something simple and small, but I really needed an A5 hole punch for a planner I wanted to start, so I bought this one.I'm SO glad I did, I really like it and I think it was worth the price. It's a solid, heavy hole punch that is made of smooth metal, it just looks and feels good. The mechanism you use to change the orientation of the hole punches to fit different paper and ring sizes is a sliding thing. There's an Amazon review with a video on this page that I used to figure it out; you just slide the hole punchers over to fit the rings on your binder. They slide over super easily, if they get stuck you can oil them a little bit but mine were smooth and just slid over to the orientation of the rings on my binder. I know some hole punchers require you to use a screw driver to unscrew and move the punches, so I really appreciate these just slide over to where you need them.There is a paper guide at the edge of the hole punches, you pull out the paper guide and it will show markings for A5, A4, etc. sizes of paper. I slid mine out to the A5 tab, and used it to guide my paper into the hole puncher. Worked perfectly. All the pages were punched the same, i did about 4 or 5 pieces of paper at a time.I think this is a great hole puncher that will last a long time and is easy to use, I highly recommend it.

Works perfectly for an A5 Planner
The media could not be loaded. I took a chance on buying this when it first came out because I was so frustrated with other '6-hole punches' that had to be adjusted to much and were so time consuming I thought I'd chance it. I am thrilled I did. I have an A5 planner that I love and I am sick of the hassle to get holes in my custom made pages. I got this, took it out of the box and within 3 minutes or less I was able to get ALL 6 HOLES in the right spot, on the first try. It was super easy to adjust. It is nice and weighty and seems to be of high quality. Keep in mind, you are gonna be able to punch 6 pages at a time, max but I am able to punch easily through a laminated page with 3mil laminate (the general strength of home laminators)The slide out guide where you butt your paper against to make sure your holes are always in the right place stays in the position you set it well so it isn't moving when you are pushing papers against it. The tray that is attached to the bottom is nice and strong and stays put so it doesn't seem that it is going to be falling off and tossing hundreds of little holes all over your floor.I can't attest 100% if this will work for Filofax planners but I would imagine it would since it seems easy to adjust but if I hear one way or the other I will update my review. I took a few pictures and make a little video to help you decide if it is going to work for you. Enjoy & Happy Shopping!

The paper cuttings are falling out of the puncher
Will be sending it back and not sure if I will give it another try, as the paper cuttings are falling out (last photo) from the side of puncher and making a mess. Besides, the box says “made in china” and the actual puncher has “Made in Taiwan”. A bit disappointed, as I expected it to be made in USA, or at least have the name brand on it and the box, instead o KW and Chinese writing (or is it taiwanese?! 😝)

Isn't Chris W supposed to be a "brand"?
It does what it says it was supposed to do. Just a tad disappointed that when it came, it did not have any branding on it. It looked like a generic china item in a cheap box considering that this item did not come cheap.

Holes Are Not Straight
One of the holes in my punch sticks out a bit more so it causes the line of the punches to shift. Overall useful but disappointed that there was this issue.
