SmartTouch 3-Hole Punch for Office Use

The Swingline SmartTouch 74134 is a desktop three-hole punch built with durable metal construction. It creates precise 9/32 inch holes through paper stacks and includes a built-in ruler with an edge guide for consistent alignment. The handle locks in the closed position for compact storage.

Suits High-Volume Filing, Not Heavy-Duty Runs

This model suits offices and schools that regularly prepare documents for three-ring binders. The wide soft-grip handle and reduced-force mechanism make repetitive punching more comfortable. Buyers who need to process larger stacks in a single press or require adjustable hole spacing for non-standard binders should look at a different class of punch.

Check Paper Size and Chip Tray Access

Verify that your documents match the fixed three-hole pattern before ordering. Ensure there is enough desk clearance for the handle to swing fully open during use. The base includes a visible chip tray with an opening for easy disposal, so confirm the tray can be reached without moving other equipment.
