Hole punch RAPESCO Germ-Savvy® Heavy Duty 2-hole, 40-sheet capacity, black

The RAPESCO Germ-Savvy® Heavy Duty 2-hole punch, 40-sheet capacity, black is a desktop tool engineered for routine document preparation in offices, schools and at home. It produces two standard binder holes for A4 and similar paper sizes, with a lever and base designed for stable punching and accurate alignment. The Germ-Savvy® surface treatment is formulated to limit microbial transfer on frequently touched areas, while robust metal construction and reinforced punch heads support regular use and consistent hole quality.

Advantages

This 2-hole punch combines a high sheet capacity with a compact footprint suitable for shared workspaces. The built-in paper guide and clear alignment markers simplify repetitive tasks and reduce misfeeds. Waste is collected in an integrated receptacle that is easy to empty, and hardened punching components maintain clean, precise holes over time. The Germ-Savvy® finish reduces the risk of bacterial spread on handle and base surfaces without affecting punching performance.

Suitable for

• Punching up to 40 sheets of standard office paper at once
• Preparing pages for 2-ring binders and folders
• Shared workstations in offices, reception areas and classrooms
• Home offices or small business document organisation

Key specifications

How to use

Place a stack of paper up to the rated capacity into the adjustable paper guide, aligning the edge with the markers. Hold the base steady and press the lever smoothly to create two evenly spaced holes. Release the lever and remove the punched sheets. Regularly check and empty the chip tray to prevent jams. For thicker stacks, reduce the number of sheets to maintain hole quality and avoid excessive force on the lever.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, use standard office paper (80 g/m²) and avoid exceeding the 40-sheet capacity. Clean high-touch areas periodically with a manufacturer-approved disinfectant compatible with coated metal surfaces to preserve the Germ-Savvy® finish. Store the punch on a flat surface and avoid dropping or striking the unit to extend its service life.
