Man, I’ve been trying to get hold of a disk notcher for ages! They are super useful with Commodore 1541 drives!

Ya know, a regular hole punch works

Definitely and that's what I used before getting the above.. With the hole punch it was a easier to screw things up. For work purposes that notcher made things look more "professional"... 
I also remember there was an almost comical non-trivial price difference between single and double sided disks for some reason. Maybe it was capitalizing on the relative tech ignorance of businesses at the time..

It does, but a notcher would be nice.
That was way beyond the financial means of Liverpool University in the late 1970s. As was an actual computer - hence waiting for a slot on the Newcastle University machine

Very useful for punching the control tape for various line printers. A great practical joke was not to put a punch in Column 01. Watch the operator load a box of paper and when the program called for top of page the whole box of paper would fly though the printer, and if they left he lid off the printer the paper would reach the ceiling.

I worked at the college TV station in the early 70s and we had those 2" tape machines. I got pretty adept at loading the tapes and cuing them up!
I haven't seen them since then, though...
