This is the best manual stapler ever! It is used in a community college library so it gets used a lot and there have been many good comments on it. Love it!
Cheaply made plastic. Some plastics are tough; this one isn't. You can tell it's not going to last with regular office use. Staplers should be very rugged as people end to pound the lever to put the staple through the paper(s). I wish we could go back to the "old days" when they made staples strong and sturdy. I do like the "clinched staple" feature and the easy push button to open the staple draw but it's too cheaply made. I have yet to find a good STRONG stapler yet. I'll just keep looking.
