Anyone have experience with the 5/8" spines (.625, or 110 pages)? We are planning to bind a book for the highschoolers we have in our CCM co-op and I'd like to know how well the bigger binding holds up. We have about a dozen books to bind (about 100 pages each).

Anyone have experience with those?

I don't have the box anymore -- but I'm pretty sure that's what I bought and my binders have all been great. Now some of my boys are little and have dropped and stepped on their books and some "combs" have broken because of that... but even still the notebook worked. And I feel like I packed a TON of papers into it.

I think you'll be fine with a ⅝" coil for 100 pages, Monica. The ⅝" coil will hold about 120 pages...BUT...to do that the paper weight would have to be pretty flimsy and it's hard to turn pages when that many are bound...but the coil size WILL hold it. So, your book of 100 pages should be just fine! You'd even be able to add a couple of card stock covers if you wanted and still be ok.

As far as holding up...I still have original coils in use that I purchased 4 years ago. We bind books, unzip them, and re-bind with old coils. My 4 year old coils are still doing great and we...pack them, shelve them, open them, zip and unzip them, drop them, shove them in a bag...in other words, they're not "babied." I have been so pleased that I invested in this one learning room tool! It's in use in some way every.single.day and really makes collecting groups of papers neat and tidy!

Just in case someone searches, ends up here, and wants to know more about the Proclick - there is an entire thread on At Home Book Binding which includes a substantial amount about the Proclick binding tool as well as different size coils and reviews.

Thanks for that info, Jen! I had read some reviews of the 5/8" coil that were not as durable, so I was hoping for some feedback here.

Thanks for the link, also. I've used that thread so much throughout the past few years. I have to admit that more recently I've been on Craig's List looking at professional binding machines. There are so many options...
