Overview:  The GBC KomboCoil 200 is a manual desktop color coil binding machine with an electric spiral coil inserter. Formerlyknown as the Ibico Kombocoil 200, this machine is designed for a homebusiness or small office that is looking to create their own highquality professional documents using spiral coil. Thissleek and stylish machine utilizes the same great design as many of theother pieces of GBC binding equipment that are available on the market.    Strengths / Features:  The GBCKomboCoil 200 includes a heavy duty manual 4:1 pitch spiral coilbinding punch that is capable of punching up to twenty sheets of 20lbpaper at a time. This machine punches the GBC 0.2475 hole pattern galvanized steel coil prices whichuses 44-hole round holes that are evenly spaced along the binding edgeof the document. Generally, this hole-pattern is only available onlarge modular binding punches.

The GBC Kombocoil is the only desktopbinding punch on the market that utilizes a 44 hole-pattern.Thismachine comes with a pair of GBC premium spiral coil crimping pliers.These pliers are incredibly useful for cutting and crimping the ends ofyour coil elements so that they do not spin back off your bound books.These premium coil crimpers have a retail value of almost $60.TheKomboCoil 200 is designed for use with standard 4:1 pitch spiral coilbinding supplies. This means that it can be used for binding documentswith a wide variety of sizes and colors. Four to one pitch coils areavailable in sizes ranging from 6mm (1/4″) up to 50mm (2″) and in oversixty different colors. Although it is possible to bind books with anyof these sizes or colors of coil, the inserter on this machine isdesigned for use with coils between 6mm and 18mm. Larger coils may needto be inserted by hand.The Kombo Coil 200 is a sleek andstylish binding machine that uses the same form factor as the WireBindW400 and the CombBind C400e. This design is compact, stylish and makesbinding easy.    Weaknesses / Limitations:  Theprimary weakness of the KomboCoil 200 has to do with its coil inserter.At first glance the coil inserter seems to be excellent. It has a largerubber roller that should make spinning the coils onto your bookssimple.

However, there is a design flaw in the coil inserter. The largerubber roller is driven by a smaller roller inside the machine. Aftersix months or a year of use this smaller roller will tend to wear agroove in the large rubber roller and it will no longer spin. Theroller can be flipped with a little bit of work but eventually a groovewill wear into the other side of the roller and the coil inserter willno longer operate.The maximum binding width of the Kombocoil200 is eleven inches. It does not have any disengageable dies whichmeans that it cannot be used to bind smaller document lengths. Thismeans that this machine is only designed for punching letter sizedsheets. If you need to punch legal, A4, half size or landscapedocuments then the KomboCoil 200 is not a great fit for your needs.    Recommendation:  Althoughthe GBC KomboCoil 200 includes several great features, it has a majordesign flaw in its coil inserter. Over time, the inserter will almostdefinitely stop working.With this in mind, it is difficult to recommend the Kombo Coil 200 for users who bind more than a few documents per week.Theonly exception would be for users who are looking for a binding machinewith a 44 hole 0.2475 punching pattern. However, if that is the caseyou may need to live with the limitations of the spiral coil inserter.
