Bostitch EZ Squeeze 3-Hole Punch — HP20 Metal 20-Sheet Capacity, Ergonomic Low-Force Handle

The Bostitch Office EZ Squeeze HP20 is a durable metal 3-hole punch that cleanly punches up to 20 sheets with low hand force for precise binder-ready documents.

Designed for home, office, and classroom use, this compact three-hole punch combines metal construction with an ergonomically designed squeeze handle to make routine paper binding faster and more consistent. The HP20 keeps essentials simple: reliable 9/32" hole diameters, a built-in paper guide and ruler for repeatable alignment, and a locking handle for tidy storage. A non-slip rubber base helps keep the punch steady while you work, so you get accurate holes without sliding or scuffing your desktop.

How does the EZ Squeeze make punching paper easier?

The HP20’s low-force squeeze mechanism reduces the amount of pressure needed, making it easier to punch multiple sheets at once and limiting hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. The ergonomically contoured handle provides a comfortable grip and smooth action so each punch is quick and controlled.

• Requires up to 50% less force compared with standard punches
• Ergonomic handle for comfortable repeated use
• Clean, uniform holes with every squeeze

What materials and construction ensure this punch lasts?

Built with metal components, the HP20 resists wear and maintains precise alignment longer than plastic-only models. The durable punching heads and reinforced frame keep the punch operating reliably in busy environments.

• Metal construction for long-term durability and stability
• Reinforced punch heads to maintain clean cuts over time
• Rubber base pad protects surfaces and reduces movement

Can I get consistent hole placement for binders and projects?

The integrated paper guide and ruler let you align sheets precisely before punching, so holes line up across multiple pages. This makes the HP20 suited for filing, binder organization, scrapbooking, and classroom handouts where consistent hole spacing matters.

• Built-in paper guide for repeatable alignment
• Integrated ruler for quick measurements and adjustments
• Standard 3-hole layout with 9/32" diameter for common binders

How compact and convenient is storage and cleanup?

The HP20’s locking handle folds down to a compact profile for shelving or drawer storage, and the design minimizes desk clutter. A removable chip tray collects paper confetti, simplifying cleanup so you don’t have loose bits on your workspace.

• Locking handle for compact storage in tight spaces
• Removable chip tray for easy disposal of punched paper bits
• Low-profile footprint fits most desks and supply areas

Who is this for: The Bostitch EZ Squeeze HP20 is ideal for teachers, office administrators, students, small business owners, and crafters who need a reliable, low-effort hole punch for batches of paper. If you regularly prepare materials for three-ring binders or want a durable desktop tool that reduces hand strain while maintaining precise hole placement, this punch delivers professional results without taking up much space.
