Our old stapler finally wore out. This one seemed like a good one with a good price. It does its job - it staples paper together. That's why I bought it. Come on it's a stapler. I'm not trying to make a statement with it -- unless I'm trying out for a part in the remake of "Office Space."
We use these staplers every day in the Art Center of a preschool classroom and use them year after year. We keep extra ones on hand in case one breaks but we have not had to use the extra in a long time. Sometime they jam and the staples get stuck at the opening but a teacher can quickly fix the problem.
This is hands down the best stapler I have ever used including much more costly ones. It is also one of the lightest which is an asset. For those who think of Staples as an 'off brand' think again! It was the cheapest stapler on display; yet ironically the best.
I bought 4 of these and all 4 broke in 1 day. I have bought tons of these in the past also and all broke. You get what you pay for. So I bought the one touch and those work great.
