If I want to punch just one sheet of paper will this device close down far enough to cleanly punch 3 holes all the way through just one pc. of paper?

I just tried....and, yes it does cleanly cut thru one sheet of copy paper.

Just received this, and i can barely slide one piece of paper in. what am i doing wrong? i removed one shipping clip but do not see a second.

Mine arrived damaged. Under one little plastic square "clip" you could barely see that it had been severely bent, likely by a pair of plyers (there in the back--under a black plastic square thing. It won't even take one page, I guess, and it said it was inspected, I think. They said (accusingly) I ordered it from Amazon Warehouse so it was already damaged! You can see the damage if you look at the picture, then the little metal work on the back. I called Amazon, and because I don't have a printer, I will have to pay a dollar to get a return label, unless I can get one printed somewhere, probably for money, too. Burned up now, as I need to punch some holes for organizing papers and mail piling up! There is no kinkos here, either, in this town.
