Rhin-O-Tuff HD7700 Ultima Binding Punch Review
Are you looking for a high-quality binding punch that can utilize interchangeable die sets? If so, you’ll want to check out the Rhin-O-Tuff HD7700 Ultima. Here’s a rundown of its strengths and weaknesses.
Strengths:
- The HD7700 Ultima’s primary strengths are its phenomenal punching capacities. It’s possible to punch anywhere from 40 to 55 sheets of 20 lb. bond paper per lift. These are some of the highest punching capacities you could ever hope to find. The punching capacity may vary a bit depending on which die set you use. For example, when using the three-hole set, you can do 55 sheets at once while the coil set will probably be able to punch 40 sheets. You’ll just have to try it for yourself to see which die sheets can punch the most.
- This machine has a vertical punching mechanism. Vertical punching makes it more likely that your pages will be punched perfectly so you won’t waste time and paper.
- As alluded to before, the HD7700 Ultima has interchangeable die sets that can be used to punch different hole patterns for various types of binding. The sets available can be used for plastic comb, color coil, wire, and other types of binding. (There’s even a three-hole set.) Each machine comes with one die set of your choice. The die sets are easy to exchange and can be pretty much slid in and out of the device. No extra tools are needed so that makes the process even easier.
- This machine has a 14-inch punching throat. It’s large enough for legal-sized paper (8.5 x 14”) and other sizes of documents. Throats of this size aren’t particularly common, so it’s a great feature to have. The dies in each set can be disengaged so you can punch the right number of holes depending on the size of your document.
- The HD7700 Ultima’s chip tray can hold up to 150% more than typical trays. It even has a window so you can see when it’s getting full. And there are also diagnostic lights to keep you abreast of the machine’s functions. Finally, there’s a reverse mode just in cast the paper gets jammed and a foot pedal you can use if you want to keep your hands free.
- This device has a one-year warranty and features extremely durable construction. All of the parts are made out of metal, so you may find that you don’t need the warranty at all even if you use the machine frequently.
Weaknesses:
- While the HD7700 Ultima would be great for binderies and industrial environments, its intimidating appearance might not be appropriate for some office settings.
- This is a very large device that measures 8.5” (height) x 21” (width) x 22.5” (length). It’s also heavy, tipping the scales at 103 pounds. So you’ll want to make sure there’s enough room in your work area for it.
- If you want to work with more than one binding method, you’ll need to purchase additional die sets.
The Rhin-O-Tuff HD7700 Ultima has a lot more strengths than weaknesses and is really one of the best die punches on the market. It’s great that it can produce so many different hole patterns and that the die sets are easy to change out. (However, keep in mind they’re are sold separately.) The punching capacities are terrific and you’ll be able to work with different sizes of documents. So long as the device’s appearance and size aren’t a big deal, you should check out the HD7700 Ultima today.
