Pros:
The Automatic punch.
Cons:
The machine is fitted with a plastic gear, which shredd when opening the plastic coombs of 1 inch or more. It is not speared. The punch time is very slow and capacity small, so have a cup of coffee handy.

I have made a retrofit of the gear out of brass, this should out live the machine, I can send you specification or make one for you, don't know if it is worth the cost,if you have access to a machine shop with the right tools and equipment.

Frustrating device. Worked badly, and now not at all. I don't recommend the 250E.
