The DuraCoil is a spiral binding machine that's capable of handling legal-sized documents

Spiral binding is one of the best ways to
put together a professional-looking book. By using plastic coils, you
can create documents that contain hundreds of pages while being sturdy
enough to be read over and over again. One machine that you can use to
take advantage of spiral binding is the Tamerica DuraCoil Plus. This is
a machine with some terrific features, but you need to be aware that it
has couple of minor drawbacks. Keep reading to find out what's great
about this device and what could potentially be problematic.

What's great:

• 
  The DuraCoil is a spiral binding machine that's capable of handling
  legal-sized documents (8.5" x 14"). The throat is 14 inches wide and
  there are five dies you can disengage to work with other sizes of
  paper, such as letter-size (8.5" x 11"). You can even work with paper
  that's longer than 14" because there's a continuous punching guide. A
  depth of punch margin control is also present so your sheets can be
  punched in a manner that allows for a more secure binding.
• This device can punch up to 20 sheets of paper at one time. This is a pretty good capacity for this type of machine.
• 
  The DuraCoil is compatible with spiral coil binding elements. These
  supplies come in a rainbow of colors (red, pink, blue, black, green,
  etc.) so you can select a coil that really complements your document.
  These coils can bind books containing a little bit more than 400 pages.
  
• One of the best things about the DuraCoil is its
  construction. This device has been made almost entirely out of metal,
  which makes it incredibly durable and suitable for many years of use.
• 
  The DuraCoil is priced so that just about anyone who needs this type of
  machine will be able to afford it. Plus, it's backed by a one-year
  warranty. What could be problematic:
• The DuraCoil
  lacks a coil inserter. You will either have to insert your coils by
  hand or use a separate coil inserter. However, this will probably only
  be a problem if you're binding a lot of documents at once because
  inserting them by hand doesn't take too long.
• 
  You'll need to purchase a pair of coil crimpers if you don't already
  have some. These are used to secure the coil in your document and are a
  necessity if you choose this binding method. They'll set you back about
  $30.00.
• This machine's handle is located on the
  right side of the device. While this is fine for rest-handed users,
  people who are left-handed might find the placement of the handle to be
  inconvenient.

As you can see, the DuraCoil has a lot of
features that make it stand out, such as its ability to accommodate
legal-sized documents and its durable construction. The fact that it's
affordable also makes this device attractive. This would be a good
machine for small office use, but because it lacks a coil inserter,
it's not ideal for organizations who need to produce a lot of books.
(Also, left-handed users might want to look at a different device.)
But, if the lack of a coil inserter isn't an issue, this machine should
be a great investment and allow you to create great-looking documents.
