If you will be stapling all the time I'd get an electric but for light use this works great

Other times, the staple won't lay flat or fails to staple at all

Most times it's worth paying a little more for better design.

Second, when the rack of staples gets down to the last two or three staples, the stapler jams-EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!

These staplers simply work every time and work well.

It works flawlessly every single time I use it, and it really will go through a large stack of paper with no effort at all

Also the button to release the staple (refill) holder falls off every time we have had to refill the stapler.

I bought this for work, and it was fine the first day, but the very next time I went to use it, it no longer worked

The stapler hangs up often after every use, I use mine maybe a dozen times a day, and the first I had I tossed after 6 months because it kept hanging up
