I have used many brands of staplers and get very frustrated with staplers that don't completely staple through papers or just simply waste the staples. This stapler does what it is supposed to. Keep the stacks of papers together. The only con i have if you consider it a con is that you can't use the stapler removers that squeeze together to remove the staples. You actually have to use the flat 'pry bar' stapler removers.
Stapler works well with the 60 sheets of paper the stapler is rated for. I have used it several times for 20 to 50 sheets (I use a smaller stapler for less than 20). I do find it a bit hard to open the stapler fill slot but not enough to be a big problem. I do wish Staples would be more clear about what staples can be used (for instance: stock #'s of Staples brand staples can be used?)
