Does this come with any staples?

I bought mine quite a while ago so my memory may not be perfect. The stapler has worked well for me. I believe it came with a small box of staples but I am not positive.

No staples and I had a difficult time finding the staples for this stapler. I tried all the major retail stores with no luck and had to order the staples on line.

I didn't get staples with my stapler, but I purchased a few different size staples at the same time I purchased the stapler. When I bind thick books around 1/2" I learned to slowly press down on the handle until the staple does its job. Do it fast and it will crush the staple.

No, this stapler does not come with staples. At least I didn't receive any when I purchased it in mid 2012. It works great for sealing cardboard edges for album mailers. It takes a gentle motion. Too hard and your staple will break through the top of he cardboard. Use it right and it's perfect. Never jams either.

No, OEM doesn't work well. I bought authentic Bostitich SB353/8-5M (5,000 staples), works like a charm...

Comes with brads(short nails) and several sizes of staples. Load one or the other. Agree with zilla59 on brads. Haven't tried staples.

I believe that's the same one we have that we ordered these staples for. It's an old model and I could not find the right staples for it at any retail store, including independent hardware stores. Glad I was able to find them online and they worked!

No. It will bind a few page together. It does not use wire staples; rather it uses a clever method of folding a tab for a reliable bond. It is a well made tool and should last a long time.

the only staples that I know for sure will work is # 35550 Optima high capacity by swingline

Yes it will use staples and brad nails, and although it is easy to load it didn't work very well with either of them, if you buy one I hope you'll have better luck with it than I did.

Sorry. I would imagine but do not know. I bought the recommened staples for the gun and have not ordered additional staples.

NO - it uses standard staples. Sounds like you need a heavy duty stapler......

Yes it does. You just have to make sure when you stretch it open you need to push the "staple loading channel" back into place. But as long as you know that it's no problem at all.

Yes but do t buy it. It's a piece of junk that didn't last. They have better safes in Staples

Yes, this uses standard staples, I bought it for closing paper yard bags and it works well

Whatever the standard staples are. This is seriously the best stapler the world has ever seen. Just buy it now and you will not be disappointed.

It takes special staples. Swingline Optima Jam Free Staples, High Capacity. I can find them on Staples, and Office Depot... for around $4.09 a box (it's just a little tin of them -- 2,500 in a tin). Hope this helps!

I'm not sure there is such a thing as "regular" staples, but we have used ones that aren't the optima ones and it appeared to work fine

Yes, this stapler does take standard staples. Approximately 1/2 a stick of staples fits each time.

What you see is what you get. No staples. No accessories, however it can be used as straight stapler. My flooring was 5/8 in thick and did a great job if you take your time. Never a misfire

Mine did not arrive with staples. It took me a while to figure out that it takes the narrower version. I found them at ACE.
