They are longer then I expected which worked out perfectly for me. They are very good quality. I'm going to be getting a few more just in case this one ever get misplaced.

These things are proving to be difficult to find. Of course, I have a couple already, and they work great. The issue is with a merchant who lists them here.
Said merchant (appears to be the main merchant for them in the Amazon Marketplace) took my order, but sat on it for approx. 10 days w/o any indication they intended to fulfill the order. Both ship date and estimated delivery date came and went without any action by the merchant.
So, I cancelled the Amazon Marketplace order (they processed the cancellation promptly, much more responsive than the actual order), and ordered directly from another vendor. We will see if they arrive.
Be advised.

I work in a law firm and use this punch on a regular basis. I purchased this item at the end of 2010 and thus far have had no problems.
The instructions say that it will punch 24 sheets of unstapled paper. I find that this is perfectly true. Luckily, it can only fit around 24 pieces in the slot for punch so I've only had the punch jam twice (when I somehow managed to get a few extra sheets in there). While not perfectly silent, it's not the loudest model I have worked with and it is minimally distracting in a work environment. Often, the sound it makes almost seems as if the punch is straining which caused some alarm the first few times I used it. I've since found that while it happens pretty regularly, there has never been any jams or problems associated with the device when this happens.
There is a manual switch at the top if you wish to go from three hole punch to two hole punch. Beware that when you two hole punch, you are NOT aligning the paper with the edge of the device. Instead, there is a line painted partway down the slot to which you would align your paper. While I do not find this to be a huge problem, it does render a few tiny inconsistencies in where the holes a place due to human error.
The holes for either setting are set quite close to the edge of the paper, similar to the location of holes for pre-punched paper. This is not as far in as a manual punch would make them but I find this to be of benefit as that there are more documents I can punch without taking out vital pieces of text.
Also, beware punching stapled documents. This machine is easily powerful enough to go through the staples themselves, which I can imagine will prematurely dull the punches.
Two times I have had the device act as if it was not working. The power switch was on, it was plugged in and I would push the button with no answering motion or sound. While I am still not certain why the problem occurs, I found that moving the punch to a more stable, flat surface would often fix the issue.
Overall, I find it to be a great device. I wish it punched more papers but for the price and the flexibility, I really cannot complain.
Fiskars 199070-1001 28mm Rotary Replacement Blades, Straight
I think it is unfortunate when product reviews don't actually review the product that is ordered. When I purchased this item, I knew it was correct because my Fiskars Rotary Trimmer provided the replacement blade item number right on it. And Amazon's item description indicates that this is a 28mm blade. No, it may not be industrial strength as one of the reviewers correctly stated. However, my office has one of those too, and what sets this trimmer apart from that one is that it actually cuts straight. Because the guide is secured at both ends, it does not "stray" from straight over time the way that the heavy duty hinged ones do. We have had this trimmer for more than 8 years and it still cuts straight as an arrow. We use it when we do more detailed work that has to look good.

I couldn't be happier. The film is thin, but the finished product is anything but flimsy. The laminating pouches firm up as they pass through the machine. They appear to have a transparent/satin finish before use, but become crystal clear from the thermal action. The thickness of the 3 mil. pouches is a better quality than the thin laminating material used with most school laminators. I would imagine the 5 mil. would be too thick, especially for card stock. I did use the 5 mil. heat setting with these, in order to seal up my card stock extra well. I wanted to make sure my thicker paper wasn't going to have any issues down the road, but I am quite pleased with the nice-looking, professional finish my items have. It's the perfect size for my classroom, and portable so I can take it home, too!
10 Round Face Metal 1" Suspender/Pacifier Clips - w/ Rectangle
I worked with this seller twice and am totally pleased with not only the seller but the product. I made tons of pacifier clips for way less than it would have cost me to buy 2. Also the clip is strong and leaves an imprint on the clothes but just until after washing then there is no marking. Best clips i've found yet. And CUTE.

heavy duty electricians scissors, what more do you need to know? i use these to cut cable (cat5, cat6, 25 pair, etc) and they are working great. still as sharp as they were on day 1.
*edit 4/12/2011
they are still going strong nearly a year and a half later. still very sharp, pretty much like they were on day 1. i would give a couple more stars but theyre already maxed out!
i made the mistake of cutting some stuff that was wrapped in tape and now they are sticky and hard to open every once in a while but i think a little rubbing alcohol or WD40 should take care of that problem.
Darice 9112-49 Natural Unfinished Wood Cube, 3/4-Inch
I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the package to discover that, for over $14, I received SEVEN small wooden cubes! Although the specifics of the product description didn't say how many cubes were included, I figured that for more than $14 it would be at least 30. This is a total ripoff...I will never order from Darice again!

I was expecting to receive a new replacement strip for my Fiskars rotary trimmer oddly, because that is the description of the item. What I received instead is a 4-sided Cut Bar (Fiskars 195820-1001 12-Inch Replacement Cutting Bar for Fiskars 12-Inch 45mm Rotary Pa, which is designed for a different Fiscars rotary trimmer than I have. The seller insisted that I received what I ordered based on the UPC. Amazon's A-Z guarantee to the rescue!
DRESS IT UP 849 FANCY BUTTON GRAB BAG
I bought these for a historic soldier costume for Halloween. These came and I got exactly what I paid for and expected. No they aren't really metal, more like lightweight plastic/aluminum mixwhich should be expected at this price. They are fragile and brittle enough to crack with weight/pressure/ forceso they wouldn't hold up on shoes or in any bizarre forest battle situation, if that's what you're into/using them for. They have a few "base" buttons that make up about half the pack which all matchyou probably get about 15 that match, then 12 that match, 8... 6... Etc. Then some randos.
4" Nylon Coil YKK #3 Skirt & Dress Zippers ~ Assortment of
This package of 15 zippers is a great buy, and in my opinion the 4" size is just right for many applications. (It's the zipper itself that is 4"; the total length is slightly more because of the head and tail.) In the package of 15 zippers, there was a nice assortment of colors--about half or slightly less were lighter colors (blue, lavender, pink, beige, light green, etc.) and the rest were bright colors (orange, red, burgundy, purple, hot pink, bright green, yellow, etc.). There are no white or black; those can be bought separately if you need them.
Fabric stores usually don't stock zippers smaller than 5", and in attempting to find a smaller zipper, I've tried "doll zippers," but they are too small for most uses--usually only 2" or 3". The 4" length of these zippers is about the width of an adult hand, so these are perfect for pockets on (or inside) a purse or tote bag. They can also be used for coin purses, cell phone cases, and a variety of other similar items. The coils on these zippers are nylon and sturdy (similar to those usually used in clothing), and the pull is metal.
I love the colors! All you need is imagination to use them in inventive ways.

The replacement blades for the swingline trimmer were surprisingly hard to find. The supplier we bought the cutter from does not carry the blades, so thank goodness for Amazon! They install easily and work just fine. It's too bad that they designed it so that you have to throw away that large piece of metal.

I bought this paper cutter to cut the spines off of books so that I can scan them. It works pretty well, but it does take some practice.
First of all, clean it up when you get it. Mine had some red greasy substance on different parts of it. The grease is also on the blade so you have to be very careful cleaning that. But thoroughly clean all parts before using or you will have a grease spot on your paper!
Also, the blade starts cutting at the point furthest away from you and comes forward. That means that it does move the paper somewhat, even if you have the paper holder down and tight.
I have so many books and so I decided to start scanning them. I cut off the covers with a box cutter, and then I use this paper cutter to cut the spine off. You have to very careful because some books, like mass-market paperbacks, do not have big margins so there is smaller room for error!
When I have thick books, I usually split the book into two or three parts before using this cutter to cut off the spine. I just take the box cutter and open the book to where I want to split it, and then I slice the spine by starting at the top and cutting straight down. It is very easy and will make your cuts with this paper cutter easier.
I then use my Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 to scan my books!
It's awesome.
One more thing....it's great with older books. If I want an older book, I can usually find it cheap on Amazon, and it it's Amazon Prime, even better! I have bought so many books for about $3.00 and then scanned them it! Then I can read it on my Kindle or my iPad or computer.

Relatively inexpensive considering all the machines it can attach to. I use a very old model Singer and it screws on just fine. The guide doesn't have measurements on it and is just held in place by friction, so a rough jostle can slip it out of position. I might use a sharpie marker to mark the guide for different parallel widths.

I Love this cartridge. I would have given it 5 stars, because it has so many different things you can do with it, but there are a few things I wish could be done differently.
First of all, the font that comes with this cartridge is one of the main reasons I picked it; however, because of how it is programed it is hard to tell which letters I am picking. They do not show up on the little key pad, so I have to look in the book and count the rows and columns to pick each letter.
The other thing I find confusing about this cartridge is guessing the sizes for how big things will end up cutting. The border lace ends up being pretty big even on the smallest settings.
Overall this is a great cartridge. It has a lot of variety to offer, and some really nice patterns.
