Customer Reviews

We frequently handle stacks of paper that are up to 1/4" thick. Once upon a time we relied on paper clips of various sizes to keep these papers together. However, paper clips have their limitations, and are not generally preferable for long-term storage. After a small amount of research we settle on this stapler for our needs that were greater than a standard desktop stapler.
This stapler will handle heavy duty staples up to 5/8" in thickness. We have a box of 1/4" and a box of 3/8" staples that have covered all of our needs to date. Other than the fact that the boxes of these staples are bigger than standard staples, the boxes are easy to deal with. I do recommend matching the staple thickness to the stack of paper, particularly with shorter stacks. Too thick staples can cause problems in stacking, and sometimes can present a minor hazard if the ends stick out.
The long lever arm provides plenty of leverage for paper stacks up to 3/8" thick. I suspect that a paper stack approaching a half inch in thickness might be a challenge even for this stapler. I also recommend placing the stapler on a firm surface to provide adequate support during stapling.
One difficulty with this stapler is finding room for it. A standard desk stapler is relatively unobtrusive. This stapler, while not quite a monster, takes up a chunk of real estate, both vertically as well as horizontally. You probably would not want to put this stapler on your desk unless you use it a lot. A work area adjacent to a copier or away from your primary desk work area are probably preferred.
There are a lot of staplers of various sizes and capabilities. This one has met our needs for paper thicknesses up to about a quarter inch very nicely. This stapler is cost effective and easy to use. This stapler has also been quite reliable and it is easy to remove and replace staples. I recommend this stapler for those needs above the capability of a standard desk stapler.

I have used this stapler for documents that range from 20 pages to 100 pages and it does an excellent job. The fact that it requires changing staples for different sized documents is a minor nuisance when you consider what a nice job it does -- no points sticking out and no bulges due to excess staple size! The stapler is easy to operate and does not require an excessive amount of force. I highly recommend it.
