The staples work every other staple or so (and I staple two pieces of regular paper together-nothing major here).

It does do a decent job stapling, but I am concerned about how long it will last.

When folding the stapler back to its original position, a staple can be used during the processDespite its flaws I do recommend this stapler to anyone who is in need of a light, simple and elegant stapler.

Haven't wasted a single staple or had it staple badly yet.

And yes, it uses standard available anywhere staples

you can actually staple much more sheets if you use the super strong staples.

When it did work, the staple had a huge gap

This stapler is what you would expect, except it only came with like 4 staples

This is a great staple for home use.

Pony up the few more dollars for the Swingline metal standard stapler - they work much better - this model consistently breaks for me; it either loses the ability o feed staples or loses the ability to fold the backs of the staples over

Worked OK stapling a couple sheets of paper together for a week.1st time I used even a little pressure trying to staple thin cork board into sheet rock (NEVER had a problem doing this with any other stapler) and that was it

Accessible staple compartment3.

I recommend this staple for anyone.

The staples usually bend or break.

The staples - regardless of what kind I buy and try to use - just don't work in this thing.

I will say that there were a couple of times that the staple bent and did not work correctly, but this was while I was holding the stapler in the air

When I attempt to use it, the staple at the front of the thing, the one that's supposed to be released and used to connect two papers, just gets STUCK.

I never knew stapling could be so easy!

Other than that, it spits out staples at random, ties staples in "knots," jams up, and otherwise makes me crazy

It also sits nice and sturdily for when more precise stapling is needed

jammed very first and second time )after clearing first jam) using - was using Swingline standard staples on 6 page document

It works great, stapled easily through 35 sheets.

and I wasted more staples than anything,

But I give it a good whack and staples with no issues .

This is a good staple

Takes standard staples and works great

The staples are very easy stuck and damage the paper.

It jams up half the time, doesn't complete the stapling, never makes a clean staple.

works as I expected, seems strong enough todo the job...arrived on time.

It was cheap and looked nice but hasn't worked nearly as well as the older, cruder model it replaced

Not as good as I had hoped it would be
