[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a high school teacher, I am constantly searching for a stapler that can handle the high duty and large amount of papers that I need to attach together. This stapler is awesome!! I love that it takes a full-strip and I don't have to squeeze the life out of it to staple 35 papers together! Great stapler for the classroom or home use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have nothing but good things to say about this stapler! I have used it in my classroom as well as in my office at home. It is simple and comfortable to use. I have been impressed with the amount of pages that can be stapled at one time while using little effort. I have yet to have a staple jam. Good product! *I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

I have not had any problems with this stapler. It’s able to staple through thick stacks of paper with ease and accuracy. I haven’t had a single staple deform, I used ¼” Fellowes brand staples and generic staples.
I recommend this stapler; it has been performing as well or better than the slew of other staplers I have around. I have several high quality staplers and many cheap ones too, both manual and electric. I have so many, it would take up a paragraph to list them all.
Below, I go into a bit of detail in how I tested it. In brief, I didn’t do any head to head comparisons, I simply maxed out the capability of the staples I used. I think the stapler could easily and reliably staple 60 pages, if it was able to use longer staples.
When I get review items, I try to use them in both normal and extreme cases.
The first thing I did was test the claim it can take a full strip of staples, it can.
Then I tested the 40-page stapling claim, it easily passed that, so I went to the max number of pages I could stuff into the stapler, which is ~60. The stapler put staples all the way into the paper without deforming any staple. There was more paper thickness than staple length.
~48 pages is the most I could staple and have the staples secure themselves a little. I then put 100 staples into a 48 page stack of paper.
I then used the staple for my daily office work, at the end of the day I handed it to my 11 year old son and let him do unsupervised arts and crafts with it, he ended up stapling things like card stock to cardboard, he had to refill the stapler twice.
After that, I took it back and used it in my office for my next day at work. It never jammed on me and my son said the only issue he had was when it ran out of staples, the problem being, it was out of staples.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't always appreciate a good stapler until I have a bunch of papers to staple. This stapler easily goes through a thick stack of paper just as easily as through a single sheet. And honestly, the only reason that 40 pages is the limit is because the size of the staple itself. I was able to use the staple flat on a table or holding it in my hand. I really love how the staple is flat rather than curved. I'm sure there are plus and minuses but I appreciate being able to have the staple sit flush along the back. I wish I had this stapler a week earlier when I was making a bunch of booklets for kids. I covered the staples with a sticker, but if the staple had been flat it would have been much better. A small detail that was really well thought out is a staple indicator(?) On the side is a mark that shows where the staple will be. You can easily see it when you have papers in the stapler. I love not having to guess where the staple is going. The only downside i think is that you can't open it to use on a bulletin board, and it doesn't have the open cinch option. This is a phenomenal stapler, I highly highly recommend it.

Pros: easy to use, flat staple, staple alignment mark
