Loud but works

It is attractive, works beautifully, has a small footprint, and uses normal staples.

This colorful, handsome little stapler works really well...when it works

This small stapler is very efficient, but very loud as well, so you cannot use during any quiet work.

This one worked great at first, though it is a little tricky to figure out how to load the staples in it (and I still haven't been able to figure out how to open it up to use it how you would to staple to a bulletin board, as some say it is able to do...)

I've had a standard, cheap-o stapler from the grocery store for years
