Compact three-hole punch for light office use

The Bostitch Stanley BOSHP12 is a desktop punch that creates three standard 9/32" holes in up to 12 sheets per press. Its metal body and precision-tooled steel heads are built for daily document preparation in a home or small-office setting. A non-slip rubber base keeps the unit steady on the desk. The 0.38" throat reach suits standard letter and A4 pages.

Suited for low-volume filing.

This manual model serves users who punch a few dozen sheets a day and want a tidy Easy-Clean chip tray that catches hundreds of clippings. It is not for buyers who need electric operation, adjustable hole spacing or a capacity above 12 sheets. The fixed three-hole pattern also limits use to standard binder formats.

Handles 12 sheets per stroke

Each press cleanly cuts through a 12-sheet stack, and the tray holds enough chips for extended sessions before emptying. The unit measures 10.6" long and fits in a shallow drawer when not in use. Beyond the 12-sheet limit the punch heads strain and the manual lever effort rises sharply.

Questions about this item

Does the 9/32-inch hole diameter match standard US binders?

Yes, the 9/32-inch holes align with standard three-ring binders used in the US.

Can the 0.38-inch throat reach handle letter-size paper?

The 0.38-inch throat is designed for edge punching; centre holes on letter pages need a deeper reach.

How do I confirm the chip tray is catching the 12-sheet capacity cleanly?

After punching a full 12-sheet stack, open the Easy-Clean tray and verify all round chips are inside.
