25 Inch Cold laminator

Exactly as advertised, good quality. I've seen some people complain about rollers having an odor on similar products, this one does not have any odor problems.

This is very sturdy (heavy) and fairly easy to assemble. It does a good job cold laminating adhesive vinyl onto things and has plenty of room to adjust height. I think it could be improved by providing instructions for use, having foldable shelf support wings (avoids customer assembly and is more compact), having a crank that can be used on a flat surface without hitting your knuckles and most importantly, some kind of clip to hold the support shelves up when folded. They flop down with the slightest movement and are loud when they do. I find it easiest to insert my blank, so I can adjust the rollers before getting the laminate positioned. Maybe this is a given for those with experience, but I’m a new user with no instructions. I’m going to fashion a “clip” for the support shelves from a couple of 3M hooks and an elastic hair tie. In hindsight, I still would have purchased this piece of equipment. I’m confident it will last well and will help me avoid the extra bubbles that come with (me) applying large pieces of laminate.

Works well but crank handle should be larger and stronger

One of my best tool

This laminator, when properly adjusted, does a decent job (I use it for mounting photographs on Sintra.) However, the low price comes with some compromises. The pressure adjustment is loose and can be difficult to adjust properly. The lock nuts which are supposed to maintain adjustment are plastic and have to be re-adjusted every so often. Unlike most commercial laminators, which have springs in the tension mechanism to maintain even pressure, this one simply adjusts the minimum and maximum upward travel of the top roller, with about 1/8" of freeplay. It works, but it's not as stable or repeatable. The screw holding the flywheel (which the handle is attached to) has a tendency to loosen; some Loc-Tite is necessary to keep it in place. Also, the leverage afforded by the small-diameter wheel makes it a little difficult to use with higher pressures. The biggest thing going for the unit is the price, and even with the issues it represents a very good value — as long as you understand its limitations.

no funciona

Cumple su función pero tuve que adaptarle una perilla más larga para hacer que fuera menos pesado el laminado Se comenzó a desarmar a la semana, los tornillos son muy chicos y con la vibracion de los rodillos se desarmó
