GBC Binding Spines / Spirals / Coils, 1/2" Diameter, 85 Sheet Capacity, ProClick, Black, 25 Pack (2515660)

I use 24lb paper because it's a sturdy weight of paper. It holds up better and feels like a better quality than the so called 'normal' 20lb paper. Plus, I buy my paper at Costco in the 800 sheet package for the same price as most stores sell the 20lb paper of 500 sheets which is a standard ream size. With that being said, I bought 1/2" Pro Click bindings to use on the 65 sheet books I'm making. That size is supposed to handle 85 sheets of 20lb. I thought they would be big enough to hold the 65 sheets of 24lb paper, but they aren't. It's hard to turn the pages and you risk tearing the paper. So I then bought the 5/8" Pro Click bindings which is supposed to hold 110 sheets of 20lb. This is the size that works great, looks great and allows for page turning, and opening up the book flat for my 65 pages of 24lb papers. It would allow for a few more sheets if needed.

Easy to use binding spines for binding your own manual. I like that they snap together and don’t come apart without the tool that comes with them. Was able to put a manual together in a matter of minutes. Another positive is being able to quickly open the spirals to add pages anywhere in the book without having to take everything apart. Worth the price.

I was looking for a system that allowed me to create notebooks that allowed the addition and removal of pages like a three-ring notebook but folded in half like a spiral bound notebook. I've tried the Arc disbound system and was very surprised at how poorly the pages turned. The pages bounded by these spines turn much much more easily and the notebooks I create can easily be folded in half like any spiral bound notebook. If you misplace the editing tool, you can open the rings with a Phillips screwdriver and reclose them with your fingers. These spines can be cut with a normal pair of scissors so you can use the punching tool on smaller sized paper. The ProClick line does not fulfill its potential! The largest spines offered is 5/8ths of an inch in diameter I would love to see spines up to 1.25 inches in diameter.

I read a review of this on a music teachers website and decided to give it a go. I am glad I did! I have so much loose music and it was really getting disorganized. Once I received the binder and the coils I put off doing it because i thought it would be complicated and take a lot of time. It was NOT! It is so easy. In 15 minutes i had about 100 pages punched and put together in two binders. I ordered the smaller coils that fit 45 pages. I am going to order the next size up. So pay attention to the size of the coil to fit your needs. I agree that it might be a bit expensive but if it holds up, i think it is a worthwhile investment. I ordered cardstock to make the front and back covers. And yes, the little zipper upper tool was included in the box of coils.

They're okay, they do the job. They took me a second to get used to clicking them together but they break in well. Only 1 broke out of everything that I got and it wasn't the whole spine it was just one piece when I was trying to secure it. It was a little challenging when I was putting in a lot of paper. I had to add then on each side and then try to adjust it so I could close it well. That part was a little tricky but not a crazy con. You just learn how to put it together we'll. Holds the paper in nicely and it's smooth when you turn the pages

I made books to go along with our Christmas around the world and these worked perfectly. The students used the books daily and we never had any trouble with them coming apart.

I am a private music teach and have a lot of students. I like the students to have their own music but I add more as the year goes on. I can add more pages on the spot. The first time I use a spine, I have to close it by hand but after that I can "zip" it closed. The students, who are kids, use it the whole year. Sometimes a few of the circles break but it holds up pretty well, especially from the way that it is handled by kids. I highly recommend this. The punch can get tiring after awhile but I put up with it.

This binding spine works perfectly with the GBC ProClick Binding Machine. The spines are easy to use; they are also very durable, they hold the sheets securely even after being opened/closed repeatedly. However I found it works better with 20-30 sheets, the sheets may become hard to turn when more pages are loaded. With 100 spines/box, this is a much better deal than purchasing them in a smaller quantity.

This is my favourite binding system for homeschooling! They work very well and I love that I can reuse them and add or remove pages as needed. I generally print all of our stuff with 24 to 28 lb paper and these work well.

GBC ProClick Spine are wonderful. They are simple to use and sturdy. I plan to purchase more of these when I need them.

Son buenísimos, se ponen y se quitan sin problema. Ojalá hubiera más tamaños. Muy recomendarles.

So easy to use and I love the fact that it can be easily opened if I need to remove or replace a page.

Works well, can be used multiple times and can cut to size easily for any project, but due to the spacing of the rings a specific type of punch is required which is quite expensive.
