I wish I had bought years ago. Super easy to put in a staple. I donated my old stapler.

It's SO nice to have a good stapler again. My old stapler never stapled in the right spot. This one is really nice and does a perfect job. I'm so glad I got it because there are SO many staplers to pick from. This one is a smaller one but it fits good in my hand and staples right where you want it to staple. I highly recommend it. I do a lot of art and crafts and this is just what I wanted and needed.

Both the staplers in the house broke around the same time. Ahh! Time to panic? No. I'm sure you can get more robust staplers that do 30 or 50 pages. But if you want something that feels well built, with a guarantee not to jam, and has a small footprint on your desk, voila! Here it is. My wife doesn't want me slammin' on hers with my ham fists, so I tricked mine out so we'd know whose was whose. And it came pretty quickly, too. I only gave "Ergonomic" 4 stars because, while it is plenty easy to use, how would I know the difference between one that was or wasn't? It seems like the classic design, to me, although you don't have to bang it as hard.

This product requires very little effort to staple papersAlways hold the stapler in the air when using it…..most staplers go bad because they are placed on the table and the user’s body weight is applied to itI have had no issues with itOnce you use this stapler you will never want to use a different kind

Is it weird to say I’m in love with a stapler?!Over the last 10 years, my boss has purchased many, MANY staplers, all of which last for maybe a year, but then jam or break too quickly. Then he randomly bought THIS stapler, and it has outlasted quite a few others!Unlike most, this actually has close to a 30-page limit (which is amazing when you’re stapling tax returns all day!) and has a smooth, easy, quiet staple (as opposed to the obnoxiously loud “one touch” versions that practically explode every time you try to staple something, or the ones that need your full body weight to get the staple through 15 pages.)Didn’t think I was a stapler geek, but I bought another one for home use, and now my mum is just as obsessed as me, and she bought one for hEr office! And I love it enough to write a review!Cute. Compact. Super easy to use. QUIET. 10/10: literally the best stapler!…Side note: It use to bother me that you would need to break the strips of staples in half, but I’ve gotten used to it. They do have a larger version that takes full strips, or they sell half-strips of staples. Whichever your preference.Either way, if you were debating on a new stapler, you’ve found it!!

Swingline has been around since like forever. Buddy Holly and Elvis probably used a Swingline to staple their music sheets or whatever.This one is a more modern design: it's much more compact than the traditional model, and you don't need to 'bang' the unit to staple pages properly. It requires much less force, and that's a huge improvement. The only drawback is this product does not hold a huge number of staples, but that's not a big deal.

Love it. Staples multiple (15+) pages with absolutely zero effort. It has never jammed. Very easy to load. Daily use for months now and no issues.

I have always felt that the most compelling gift that a writer possesses is the ability to describe places and characters with such authentic detail that the reader sees himself/herself there in the flesh watching the story unfold. This was my experience as I read Marita Berry's "Red September" and being transported to a small fictional Caribbean island,Taino, that featured the same people, culture, beauty and poverty familiar to myself, also from the Caribbean. On one hand it is the story of a mother who was dealt a cruel hand, losing her father at an early age, living with an abusive alcoholic mother and having the responsibilities of adulthood thrust upon her at much too early an age, among those responsibilities, caring for her siblings. Thirty years later with a family of her own she tries to understand the mother who had caused her so much pain and discomfort in her early years and she finds solace retroactively in telling the stories of her upbringing to her daughter, Brenda and at the same time finding room to forgive her abusive mother. "Red September" is much more than a story of survival. It is also a love story with it's own twists and turns of the heart.This is one of the best books I have read lately. My advice to you, the reader, is to get a copy and lose yourself in a great story of love, forgiveness and a mother's triumphant survival in the end.

I work in several retail stores where we staple 400+ bags shut with a couple of these staplers every day. They very rarely jam or feed staples incorrectly. I have used 10+ other models of staplers and none of them were as reliable or powerful as these. We staple a bag shut for each customer every day and they have held up for months so far. I estimate about 20,000 staples used in each of them already. These are one handed and will still drive a staple straight through a stack of paper as thick as the staple itself. In another store we used the Paperpro reduced effort staplers that compete with these, and the springs within those wore out in about 3 months. The paperpro reduced effort staplers have a more satisfying feel and drive staples with the force of a spring release. They require slightly less effort and are quite a bit lighter. However, with our high volume use the spring in the paperpros have quickly worn out and lost a majority of their power. The swingline lighttouch staplers are significantly heavier but use leverage alone to increase power. They have held up much better under heavy use.My main complaint about these staplers is hefty weight(compared to paperpro reduced effort models), but it is more than paid off by increased reliability. I need to replace all 3 paperpro staplers in one of my stores because the springs are wearing out, but all of the swinglines are still going strong.
