Great value stapler which has handled a large volume of stapling
Size: 20 Sheet Style: Half Strip (Compact) (Pack of 1)
I work as a pharmacist and have to staple several hundreds prescription labels to bags. This little stapler has been one of the best things I've invested in. After using a manual stapler for many years, I could feel it taking a toll on my hand. I figured I would get this and even if it last only a few months it will still be better than having to manually staple everything. Stapler works great and it is small and compact. It came with a power adapter, however, the cable on that broke in a few months because we move the stapler back and forth, which created too much pressure on the cord. However, this little thing can be operated with 4 AA batteries, so that's how we've been running it, and that allows us to take it anywhere. The other nice thing on this is it has an auto and manual stapling feature. On auto it would staple automatically if you place paper under it, and on manual you gently touch the top and it staples for you. The auto feature broke after a few months, a spring fell out. The manual feature continues to work. You can use regular staples with it, the only time it seems to jam is when it's down to the last few staples. We've been using this stapler for over a year and a half and it's still going. Hopefully, it will keep going, but will definitely get another one if it stops working. ... show more

Great stapler, so easy to use
Size: 20 Sheet Style: Half Strip (Compact) (Pack of 1)
This type of stapler I have used in a busy tax office with several pages to staple, I have recently purchased for my officev where I am now. Have had it so far over a month and with the Optima staples I still have yet to experience a staple jam. I can even staple more than twenty pages but the back side of the staples can't obviously finish folding with more than the recommended pages. But if I have 22 pages, I am going to try to get them all in one bunch. I am looking now into the larger capacity for those thicker bunches, but for small 2-10 pages, it works like a dream saving my wrist from repeated clinching of a manual stapler. Works over and over no problems. It is also not very loud, and keeps you working quickly and efficiently. Battery usage is great too. Requires 6 AA batteries and still strong like it's plugged into power. Many times I have to take it with me to the copier and it works just as good away from power. Not to mention it is so sleek. I thought this one had the "cylon" type blink to let you know it's out of staples but I think that is the other model. I accidentally ordered this one but have been very happy with it. The only cons I have found is no blink to let me know I am out of staples and it won't take a full stick of staples. Other than that, it's a great little stapler very handy for couponing, or bills, any kind of every day paperwork, but I highly recommend purchasing the staples that are made for it. You can easily find them as a cheap add on item here on Amazon. ... show more

Work Smarter Not Harder
Size: 20 Sheet Style: Half Strip (Compact) (Pack of 1)
Love this! Makes life so much easier at work! Newsletters are typically 12-20 pages and this made everything go so much faster! So so easy and efficient. Love that there’s a power adaptor so don’t have to worry about dead batteries. Easy to refill and very quiet.

Failed after 2 months, replacement failed immediately
Size: 20 Sheet Style: Half Strip (Compact) (Pack of 1)
I bought this staple for moderate office use. After 2 months of use I started having issues. When I would get down to the last 10-15 staples the stapler would jam and wouldn't work until I put a full row of staples in. Other times when the stapler was full of staples it would make the action of stapling but wouldn't staple the pages. To fix this I would have to open the staple compartment and close it again. It got to the point that I had to open the stapler every other staple to use it. Update: I received the replacement stapler from the manufacture, after using the stapler less then 10 times it wouldn't work at all. I had the new stapler all of 2 hours maybe before it stopped working. I would advise anyone considering this stapler to go with something else. ... show more

New by but seems to get the job done well, won't work with rechargeable batteries
Size: 20 Sheet Style: Half Strip (Compact) (Pack of 1)
I liked the colors (black, silver, orange) and design so I purchased to replace the manual Swingline stapler that I had for ~ 3 decades. Dimensions (footprint) are ~9" L x2" W x 2.75" H, should space be a problem. It weighs 14.9 oz, short of a pound, a comfortable weight for me, with arthritis. The silver feels like plastic. The black is a rubbery cushiony surface that ensures a non-slippery grip with a good feel if using in grip mode. I used it for awhile with the AC adapter with no problems. The port to the staple is in the rear below the button to release the staple tray. I then switched to batteries (4-AA). As per the ad, it does not work with rechargeable batteries. The door to the battery bin is in the back on the belly of the stapler, the latch was a little difficult at first, but it not a problem now. Of course I didn't read the manual, but there is a diamond on the door that points towards the back, but one has to pull the lever towards the front to open. Button in the back easily opens the tray for staples. I used Swingline standard staples, which worked fine, and easy to load. The staples I have are 4" long, and the staple takes about 2.5". There are two orange lines in the front to give guidance as to where the staples are (width), to not miss the paper. Performance wise it will do 20 sheets easily with the Swingline standard staples, which are 4/16" tall. It seems to have adequate power to go through 20 sheets easily. It is probably a little noisier than the manual stapler, seems like a "standard" noise, not an irritating sound, just the expected electric staple sound. No other electric stapler to compare to. On the auto mode you can have the stapler on the desk top and push the paper in to staple, the depth if you go gentle is ~1/2" deep into the paper. If you go more quickly and forcefully you might get to ~3/4" and on grip mode about 1-1/4" deep. Grip mode requires pressing the front of the black rubber, like with your thumb while holding the pages. Overall pleased, I wish it would work with recharge batteries, hence a 4-star rating. Hit the helpful button if you found the additional measurement and details helpful, it's motivation to do these experiments for this great community. Thank you for reading! ... show more

Time saver

Best money spent ever on office supplies. In the midst of a large project that involved printed spreadsheets and other documents for handouts, this things was a huge time saver. I use it with the batteries so it is portable, other employees mocked me at first, now they all ask me which one it is so they can order one! ... show more

Great Stapler!!
Size: 20 Sheet Style: Half Strip (Compact) (Pack of 1)
I am pleasantly surprised by this little guy. It's small, but does a great job. I can staple 20 pages easily (I even pulled off 22 once), and it staples nicely every time. No little bits hanging out the back when stapling either 2 or 20 pages. It's also not terribly loud and doesn't annoy my coworkers. The cord is a decent length as well. We purchased a $50 stapler at work that was twice the size of this little guy and much louder, which broke in around 2 weeks. This stapler has far outperformed the piece of junk we bought originally, and then some. My only complaint is it doesn't hold a full row of staples, so I have to break them in half and fill more frequently. Aside of that, I'm VERY happy with it and highly recommend it if you need a good electric stapler. ... show more

Works well, doesn't last long.
Size: 20 Sheet Style: Half Strip (Compact) (Pack of 1)
The product works well although it unfortunately is not made well enough to last as I only had it for a year and a half. I have unplugged it waiting days before replugging and it will not stop stappling up to a point where it gets heated.
