Rhino's HC-8000 is positioned as a solution for print shops and other production environments where twin loop (also known as wire-o, double-o, or double loop) binding is done on a regular basis. Made of all metal, the HC-8000 is meant for heavy use. In the following report, we take a closer look at the HC-8000, and list for you what we consider to be its strengths and weaknesses.
Strengths:
Probably the greatest strength of the HC-8000 is that it may well be the only wire closer on the market that is made to be used with every size of wire that is available. Though the vast majority of users won't have to use every size wire from three sixteenths to one and a half inches, it sure is nice to know that you have the capability should the need ever arise.
One all too common problem that is typical with wire closers is that they do a good job closing one side of a book, but leave the other side slightly open. This occurs because over time, the wire closer's gears begin to slip. The HC-8000, however, features a couple of thumb screws that are really heavy duty, and allow the user to make adjustments on each side of the closer. This also helps to compensate for other problems such as deformed wire or any other sort of slippage that is bound to happen over time. With this sort of functionality and longevity built in, the HC-8000 has just about any other wire closer's design beat, as far as we are concerned.
The HC-8000 will work just great as a standalone machine, and you won't need any sort of stand or holder to use it. However, this machine can also be attached to the top of several models of Rhino's modular binding punches. Used as a standalone, you can put two people on the tasks of punching and binding, which will help mightily with convenience and productivity. That is why we have no problem recommending the HC-8000 for large production, high volume applications, such as you might find in print shops or binderies.
Weaknesses:
It is our opinion that the HC-8000 is clearly one of the best wire closers on the market. However one thing that you should be aware of before you dive in and purchase this machine is that it is designed to be used with books that are up to fourteen inches in length. That will easily encompass most jobs, but there may be the occasional project for which you will need a longer capacity machine. In this case you will have to split the closing using a two step process.
One other minor but important to issue some users might have with the HC-8000 is that it is a horizontally oriented machine. Many other wire closers of this type work vertically. This is not a big problem, just something you are going to have to get used to if you are accustomed to doing your wire closing on a vertically oriented machine.
The HC8000 does not include a wire hanger. That means that you will either need to use the wire hanger on your punch or find some other way to hold the wire in place while you insert the pages onto the loops.

Rhin-O-Tuff HD7700 Review
Designed for use in high production environments, the Rhin-o-Tuff HD7700 is presented as one of the most durable binding punches on the market. Here is a report we put together of some of this machine's strengths and weaknesses.
Strengths:
The major strength of the HD7700 is its remarkable punching capacity. Though Rhino doesn't specify the punching capacity for each of the different punching patterns, they have no problem stating that it will be able to punch an average of forty five pages across all patterns. We found that with Velobind we could get up to around fifty five pages, and with the coil binding types of punches it was more like forty. We consider that to be pretty impressive capacity any way you slice it.
For the most part, you would want to look into buying this machine if you think you will need the capability to change punching patterns often, and to do it relatively quickly and easily. We really liked the system that was in place to change out the dies. All the user needs to do is release the levers, slide out the die, slide the new one in and lock it down. There are twelve standard and fourteen custom die patterns that are available for the HD7700, meaning it is without a doubt one of the most versatile machines on the market. You can even have a custom designed if the hole pattern isn't available as a stock option.
One truly great feature is that the HD7700's punching throat is 14" wide, making the handling of legal sheets much easier than almost any other machine on the market. In other words, most of the HD7700's competition does not offer what this machine does, which is punching for legal sized documents for all hole-patterns.
This is clearly a machine that is built to last a long time. With its all metal casing and punching units, the HD7700 should last years without needing any kind of special maintenance. Rhino does back the machine up with a one year warranty so it's obvious that they have some faith in it too.
We also like the huge chip tray, the reverse function (for paper jams), the LED display and the choice of three activators. These features help to improve productivity and make the HD7700 a great choice for production environments.
The vertical orientation of this machine helps the user keep the pages aligned during the punching process. We thought this was a pretty smart idea.
Weaknesses:
The large punching capacity is a great thing, but sometimes using the HD7700 to punch a large stack of sheets caused the pages to weld together. Punching smaller lifts fixed this problem but decreased productivity. As with all modular punches, you will have to find the balance between the capacity you want and the punch quality you are willing to live with.
This machine is huge and is obviously designed for production environments. For this reason, some office users are weary of this machine. However, most organizations that end up settling on the HD7700 are extremely happy with their decision. This is one case where function trumps aesthetics.
Sometimes you can feel a little bit of play in the die, due perhaps to the easy change system. For accuracy and safety, it is always important to make sure that your die is completely locked in place before punching.

Rhin-O-Tuff HD 8370 Review
Rhino's HD 8370 gives the marketplace a manual wire closer that automates the insertion and closing process when you are doing wire binding. In the following report we will dive into the strengths and weaknesses of this machine.
Strengths:
The HD8370 offers users some pretty nice flexibility in that it can be used for spines that range from one quarter inch to nine sixteenths in diameter. We liked that there is a sizing guide placed at the front part of the binding table that helps you choose the right size of wire for the book you are putting together.
Continuing with the flexibility theme, the HD 8370 can be used with a wide variety of twin loop wire lengths. You can adjust this machine to bind documents that are five and a half inches to fourteen inches in length, and all the standard sizes in between. Essentially, it can safely be said that the HD 8370 can be used with any wire size on the market.
While there are so many inserters and closers on the market that need to be attached to a certain punch in order to operate, we consider it a big plus that the HD 8370 works as a standalone device. It can, of course, be bolted to the Rhino OD and HD series of machines as well. Again, we are liking the flexibility of this machine more and more, as you can use it by yourself or as part of an assembly line type production environment.
The all metal, heavy duty construction of the HD 8370 lives up to the name and reputation of the rest of the Rhino line. It is clearly a machine that is designed to be used every day for years.
Weaknesses:
One thing that the HD 8370 can't claim is easy setup. There are several steps involved in getting the machine up and running, including setting the wire closer, moving the edge guide, ensuring proper wire placement, adjusting the wire rest, book stop and the height of the table. This can be enough to challenge even the most experienced users of wire binding machines. If you are using it to bind primarily one size and length of wire, you can do somewhat of a set it and forget it approach. However, if you plan on changing wire sizes regularly, be prepared to take some time getting everything ready to go.
Binding all of the most common lengths is not a problem with the HD 8370, but it is not the ideal machine for custom jobs, as you may run into some trouble inserting and closing the wires. As we stated though, it is fine for the common sizes such as 16, 25, 32, 38, 41, 24, and 34 loop documents.
The HD 8370 may also have an inordinate amount of difficulty with wires that are either deformed or are out of pitch even slightly. The bars of the machine are designed as such that the wires will need to be lined up perfectly. Unfortunately, even premium wire binding spines can be stretched slightly in the packaging process causing this type of problem to occur.
