Swingline Adjustable 2-7 Hole Punch

We have an older model of this punch in our office, purchased probably 20 years ago or more. It is heavy and solid and works like a charm. Wanted to buy an additional one for the office, same model number, and while it looks pretty much the same, it is clearly made with cheaper and lighter materials, and it is of substantially inferior quality. I agree with the other reviewers that the little plastic pieces are just stupid; they easily fall off and get lost. In fact, mine was shipped with only 1 of the 2, it simply wasn't in the box. The metal slide that allows you to accomodate for different paper lengths is flimsy and slides with little pressure, so it doesn't stay put. In the older model I have, the metal slide is substantially thicker and doesn't budge unless you push it with pressure. This thing is a total piece of junk, and Swingline (or whoever owns them these days) oughta be ashamed of themselves. They took a reputable office product and made it useless, while promoting it as serious office equipment. I wouldn't buy this thing at a garage sale.
