[edit] Merge with punch hole

I'd say that merging with punchhole would be appropriate, and the merged article would make for a very nicely sized informative article. --Hellahulla 19:19, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dr Gold - fact or fiction?

I tried to confirm the following, and could find nothing elsewhere on the Internet to support it. So I've removed it: "The widest selection of hole punches for personal organizers is maintained by Dr. Gold of Germany who is credited with creating over 150 configurations." Its origin was the very first posting of the article "Paper punches" --Fibula 22:17, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What's the loop for?

Does anyone know what the wire loop on the handle of a single hole punch is for?

I speculate that the loop lets you hang the punch on a nail or hook in the wall. What else could that loop be for?

Possibly to put your pinky finger, like the thingy sticking out on many scizors
That does not make sense- it has a powerful spring, you do not need to put your finger there, it would be uncomfortable. I agree that it is to hang it from a bulitan board, or the like.

[edit] "We" in History

Who put the "we" in history? Who does this "we" refer to?

The origins of the humble paper punch has yet to be determined, however we have found two early patents for the paper punch a device that is designed to "punch holes in paper."

[edit] 23 hole punch?

--209.218.206.2 (talk) 20:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC) "In The Netherlands there are 23 holes punches for A4 papers."

That seems ridiculous to me. Does anyone have a picture of one of these for verifaction? Is it possible that what's meant is 2/3 hole punches (i.e., a hole punch that can either mimic the ISO standard as well as the North American standard)?
