Obviously your stapler quality can affect how well the staples work, but mine works great!

I love the rose gold staples, but I paid way too much for them.

Great looking staples, but halfway through each row the staples jam in the stapler and have to be manually removed, which is not an easy process.

I had hot pink staples that lasted me for YEARS but always got a positive comment from folks

These staples are terrible - they jam the stapler and ruin whatever you are stapling!
