Although the Titan-Wire has a great punching capacity

  • Although the Titan-Wire has a great punching capacity, it is still a manual binding machine. In order to punch the maximum capacity of this machine you have to pull pretty hard on the handle. Smaller companies can simply punch a few less sheets and it won't be a huge deal. However, Nike Shox Turbo,larger volume users may want to consider an electric machine to help improve productivity and reduce the risks for repetitive motion injuries.
  • One major oversight by DFG when they designed the Titan-Wire is that they neglected to include a wire holder or wire hanger on the machine. This feature is used to hold the wire spines in place while you hang your pages onto the loops of the wire spine. Unfortunately, without a wire hanger you have to hold the spine in one hand and the wire in another. That is difficult for almost any user and it greatly cuts into the productivity of this unit.
  • The placement of the wire closer on this unit is also less than ideal. Having the wire closer on the top of the machine means that you have to lift the document and the wire up to the closer without the spine falling off. This can be pretty tricky, even for experienced users. Other machines that have the wire closer located at the front of the machine tend to be much easier to use.
  • The other issue with this machine is that it only has an eleven inch punching throat and wire closer. Many other comparable machines on the market have a fourteen inch punching throat. For organizations that never need to bind documents over 11" this isn't a problem. However, if your company will ever need to bind documents that are legal sized or A4 size this machine will be a lot more difficult to use. This is definitely something to keep in mind when comparing this machine to other similar pieces of equipment on the market.

Recommendation:

  • The Titan Wire 3:1 pitch binding machine is one of the strongest and most durable binding machines that is available on the market today.
  • In many areas its construction and Nike Shox Deliver,features are exceptional and allow it to stand apart from its competition.
  • However, the fact that it only has an eleven inch punching throat and does not include a wire hanger or holder is a definite drawback to this machine.
