Why do hole punches have that wire ring in the handle?
Just one of those things...
No really. I'm actually asking this question.
I'm not talking about those three-hole punches like The Guy From The Office. I'm talking about those old school metal jobbies you use to punch a single hole in a piece of paper, or in a stack of construction paper if your first grade teacher was inordinately cruel.
If you look at the handle of them, 83% of the things have a wire ring in the handle. Look here:
There is no useful purpose served by that ring. You put your fingers on the outside of the handle, the spring is built near the hinge, the hole-punchy part is on the far left, and nothing has ever happened with the ring. Ever.
