Customer Reviews

Excellent stapler
I needed a good heavy duty stapler for my home office, but didn't want the expense or hassle of an electric. I was going to need the ability to occasionally print and staple very large documents, and with my ink-jet, I prefer to use the heavier 24-lb paper. I also bought the Swingline HD 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, and 1/2-inch staples.

This Swingline was "just what the doctor ordered". I recently had to download and print a 124-page document. I printed it two-side to save paper, but I still needed to staple 62 sheets of 24-lb paper. I easily swapped the 1/4-inch staples for 1/2-inch, lined up the document, and said "Here goes nothing!" This stapler quickly and SMOOTHLY stapled the document with no problem and just a light easy stroke. The 1/2-inch staple had enough length to fully secure the document and fold underneath the last page, and there was no sign of stress or bending of the staple itself.

I recommend this stapler to anyone who has to staple more than 10 sheets of paper at any time.

Decent but temperamental...
I work in a college computer lab and we have one of these for student usage and there are several things I have learned over the years about this stapler:

1) It jams really easy when not used properly. (pressing down all the way and recommended sheet count; 30-160 sheets no more no less)

2) Once jammed it needs to be fixed before the stapler get used again or it will get worse.

3) Once it gets worse there is no unlocking the front access to unjam it, so you'll have no choice but to rip it apart.

Fixing this can become a daily chore as the stapler becomes older, the one I deal with is around 7 years old. Things to watch out for: The screws that attach the base to the stapler body are not secured on with a nut and tend to strip and not hold after a while, secure these with a nut, it should be a 10-32 screw, this will prevent future head aches; this jams and it jams badly, check the stapler regularly for jams, always remove the rear staple plunger before opening the forward latch, unless you just like watching a staple bar shoot across the room; and if repairs must be done do it some where with a large flat table, this stapler is held together primarily by 5 pins, 2 screws, and 4 pin clips, and the pin clips tend to go flying when they are removed. The the stapler is made up of 5 primary parts, the base, the mounting bracket, the body (which is made up of multiple affixed parts), the staple pressure arm (plunger), front access door, and handle.

Over all this is a decent stapler but to avoid having to deal with the above you can either keep an eye on the stapler or make like Milton in office space and try not to let anybody else touch it.

Sturdy stapler
I've only had this product for a little while, but it seems quite sturdy and set for a long life. It is stable, and it's easy to load and to clear. All I wanted in a heavy-duty stapler, I'm quite happy with it.
