A hole punch, also known as hole puncher, or paper puncher, is an office tool that is used to create holes in sheets of paper, often for the purpose of collecting the sheets in a binder or folder (such collected sheets are called loose leaves).
The heart of the 024 and 026 keypunches was a set of twelve precision punches, one per card row, each with an actuator of relatively high power. Punch cards were stepped across the punch one column at a time, and the appropriate punches were activated to create the holes, resulting in a distinctive "chunk, chunk" sound as columns were punched.
As an aid to humans who had to deal with the punched cards, the IBM 026 and later 029 and 129 key punch machines could print human-readable text above each of the 80 columns. Invalid "lace cards" such as this pose mechanical problems for card readers. As a prank, punched cards could be made where every possible punch position had a hole.

A computer punched card reader or just computer card reader is a computer input device used to read computer programs in either source or executable form and data from punched cards.
In the New Hacker's Dictionary, two unattributed and likely humorous [citation needed] derivations for "chad" are offered, a back-formation from a personal name "Chadless" and an acronym for "Card Hole Aggregate Debris". [5] Other etymologies claim derivation from the Scottish name for river gravel, chad, or the British slang for louse, chat.
The tape punch, rather than punching out the usual round holes, would instead punch little U-shaped cuts in the paper, so that no chad would be produced; the "hole" was still filled with a little paper trap-door. By not fully punching out the hole, the printing on the paper remained intact and legible.
