Just enough extra staple length to cover where a standard 1/4" staple is too short.

Great leverage and a good staple each time thus far.

As long as I used a long-enough staple, this machine worked wonderfully

As long as I used a long-enough staple, this machine worked wonderfully

But then while stapling some papers the little piece that causes the staple to bend broke off

Tested it with 90 pages and the appropriate staples and it worked fine.

Must buy proper size staples for this thing to work right.

You can put any size staples in it and it works great!

It is important that the user follow the guidelines for the appropriate size staple for each size job.

The only thing wrong with it was some idiot put regular staples in

An occasional staple jam, but that happens when you're stapling 30-50 pages together, right?

and I probably got 1 good staple out of 3.

Came quickly and works well with 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4" staples.

It handles the load you just have to make sure you put the right staples in it.

I have the proper staples, and I figured, yes, I know how to push down properly

Staples were easily inserted properly several times, then the final staple reload the black cover at the end of the spring failed because a small piece of plastic broke the housing channel that the spring was held in

but it wasn't - suddenly showed up on a Sunday) and that the box seemed damp, so the staples probably began to rust.

Sometimes when removing loaded staples to swap with a different size staple, the staples need encouragement to come out.

I love staples

It's very easy to load staples from the rear and to clear jams from the front.

If you choose the correct length staple for the job required, it's wonderful (If anything stronger is needed you would have to purchase from industrial sources such as: Shipping Departments, Factories and Carton Manufacturing Facilities)

(The other item is a high page count 3-ring hole punch).I just keep three little boxes of staples next to it to adjust from lesser (35 page) to greater (100 page) staples as needed

I'm not trying to staple too many pages, I know I'm using the correct staples

I've noticed that every 4th or 5th staple becomes jammed and I have to take the pliers out to rip out the jammed staple

That being said, it jams so incredibly easily that I've permanently kept a pair of needlenose pliers nearby to rip out the misshapen staples when it doesn't staple properly

After several tries of shooting blanks and a few bent, incomplete staples, it finally worked.

An occasional staple jam, but that happens when you're stapling 30-50 pages together, right?

the staples just crush, this thing isnt working well at all, I wish I would have used it as soon as I bought it, I would have returned it.

Probably user error, but the staples kept jamming and it seemed like I had to clear it out and reset the thing every time I went to use it

By used correctly, I mean, use the correct staples, staple all the way through the paper by pressing ALL the way down and don't staple over another staple.

I have only stapled 100+ pages and worked like a charm.

Even when the staple is at the edge where it is supposed to be, this so-called heavy duty stapler only pushes one end of the staple through the paper breaking the staple in the process

its ok and does it job but would have like some staples to have came with it, specially the bigger ones so it can go thur more sheets of

The paper is all smooth and flat with nothing to impede the staple

Placing the stapler on a steady base or table, and pressing the handle down in a straight motion while stapling won't cause you any problems at all

but I have a sneaking suspicion that I might have bought the wrong staples to go with it

If you're not sure which variety of staples to put fill it with, the stapler has a guide printed on it for staple size and number of sheets:1/4" staples: 2-25 sheets3/8" staples: 25-60 sheets1/2" staples: 40-90

Regular staples go through 2 at a time but the heavy duty ones work great one at a time ;)

Difficult to load, only stapled 1/2 the time I have used it.

It kept jamming, so I bought the best staples I could

As someone who tutors and simultaneously studies at a school, I need a reliable heavy duty stapler that staples through 50-100 pages at a time

Otherwise, the staples just damage the paper

Now the staple is totally jammed inside and there is no way I can get it out

Seriously, like every other staple jammed.

In addition, the plastic slide that lets you place papers at a specific offset moves a bit too much for consistent stapling

I even made sure I ordered the proper staple size for my page count needs

Yes, we are using the correct staples.

The staples are easy to change

Seriously, like every other staple jammed.

Just have to read and buy the right staples.

Going forward for every one staple that worked the next staple would jam.

Goes through a lot of paper with the right staples.

This stapler was only able to sink 3 staples in 32 sheets of 20# paper with Heavy Duty 3/8" Staples.

But with this one, I may not have to since the 3/8" staples work great for almost all of the reports I need to staple.

I typically get one good staple out of it, followed by having to unjam it, then I can use it again, and so on

You will need a long, thin letter opener to sneak into the magical insides to get those stupid staples out

They works and it does staple well if you don't buy the cheap staples

Doesn't work at all, staples just get stuck inside.

works as it is supposed to

Otherwise when it works as it should, it staples beautifully and does a fantastic job.
