I've had a lot of bad staplers. This one is great. What a lucky find. Fits perfectly in your hand and staples with out a jam. Also the staples staple flat.
I have not yet used this on a large volume of paper maybe 15 pages however I really like the flat staple. I mail a lot and the smooth staple makes for a smooth envelope.
I really think Staples needs to invest in better products with their name on it or do better research. Because every time I purchase something with Staples name on it I have to return it cause it doesn't work or it breaks right away. Not to mention I always seem to get a hard time returning it to the local Staples. It seems the store in my area doesn't train their employees well or just don't care about its customers. I think its about time I start spending my money somewhere else.
I usually tend to be hard on staplers--they jam and mis-staple and I finally give up and toss them. This one is great! I have been using it every day for a week to staple handouts and articles I have been organizing. Every single staple job--from 2 pages to 25 or more--has been equally easy completely without mishap and flat. It may be a bit absurd to be excited about a stapler but I am very pleased with this one! Now I want one for home as well.
This stapler opens and spills the staples often when I reach for it. I'm not a fan of the half-strip stapler. The most frustrating detail about this stapler is that most of the time the staples don't close and the legs are sticking straight out of the back of the pages.
