REVIEW
When binding documents with twin loop wire (also known as wire-o, double look wire or double-o) the final step in the binding process is to close the wire. This is accomplished by using a wire closing device to squeeze the "C" shaped wire spine until it is round. However, if you squeeze the spine too much it will end up overlapping and looking sloppy and if you don't close it enough the pages will fall out. This is where the Rhin-O-Tuff HD-8000 comes in. It is designed to help you close your wire spines easily and accurately every time.
FEATURES:
The Rhin-O-Tuff HD8000 is one of the only Wire Closers that is designed for use with every available size of wire. It is capable of closing wire spines that are 3/16 Inch in diameter (the smallest size available on the market) and as large as 1-1/4. Although most users do not use these two sizes of spines it is nice to have the capability if the need should arise.
One of the problems often seen with Wire Closers is that they close one side of the book completely and the other side is still slightly open. This happens as the gears for the Wire Closer slip over time. However, the HD-8000 includes two heavy-duty thumb screws that allow you to adjust each side of the Wire Closer. This can help you to compensate for wire that is slightly deformed or for any slippage that might occur over time with the closing mechanism.
The HD8000 is designed so that it can be bolted onto your Rhin-O-Tuff modular Binding Punch. However, it can also be used as a stand-alone Wire Closer without any need for a Holder or Stand. Using the HD 8000 as a stand along device can help to increase speed and productivity. In fact, if you have one person punching and the other person binding your documents you can more than double your productivity using this machine. For this reason, the HD-8000 is very popular with print shops and for high volume applications.
CONSTRUCTION
The HD8000 is built extremely well with high quality heavy duty metal components. There is really very little risk that you will break or wear out this machine even if you do a lot of binding. However, the strips of sandpaper like material will most likely need to be replaced over time as the rough material wears off. These components are inexpensive and easy to replace.
SUMMARY
The HD-8000 is one of the best Wire Closers available. It's heavy duty construction and ability to bind all of the different sizes of wire make it a definite winner.
