As soon as I got my arc system planner, I went straight to craft stores to look for expandable arc disc and arc punch. I'm just glad the happy planner punch is already available in store. No second thought, I bought it!!! But you know, I got the best price!! Luckily, I have a voucher and additional discount!! Yay!!!
It cost SGD49.90 at Paper Market.
On same day, I was able to find the expandable disc at Made with Love at SGD9.95 each. I bought 2 sizes. One medium size (rinr-02) and the large / expander rings (ring-04).
I used the medium ring of the happy planner. I should have bought 2 expander instead. Cos in no time, I will replace soon to large ring.
It was difficult removing the the covers of the M by Staple arc notebook because of the hard plastic. No problem with that, it only means it won't be wobbly as the other arc planner.
Please note, the punching capacity: 3 paper sheets,
1 card stock sheet.
The test...
I can punch 3 papers sheets on 80 gsm, no difficulty on inserting and punching. Only 2 sheets for 120 gsm with a bit difficulty on inserting but no difficulty on punching. I had no hard time punching on card stock and craft paper. Though there's a bit of effort needed when punching 0.20mm pvc binder cover. I also tried to punch on my laminated dividers. If I punch a total of 150mic of laminated pouch with card stock or paper craft...too much effort is needed on inserting and punching. You will hear a big crunch.
See attached pics...

| Please bear with the 2 hole punch, I reused my dividers and for testing. |
Please make sure that you insert the paper all the way cos this happened to me, refer to pic...
Overall, I love the happy planner paper punch!! Again, I am so pleased that I bought this. For the planner addict, this punch is a great investment.
