I see that one reviewer said it was cheaply made and held together with staples? Are all like that?

Hmmmm. I was considering this for a gift so perhaps I need to look on Ebay instead.

It is held together with staples. But it is surviving well and the squirrels love it.

Yes, the one I received was put together with staples and was coming apart at the bottom of feeder.I bought some wood screws at Lowe's and hired a neighbor man to reinforce it with nine screws and a drill.

Mine has been holding together on side of a pine tree for couple years now. Seems to be doing fine..

I think these are perfect. I have 2 and liked them so much that I bought one as a gift. My 2 are very well made and sturdy and doing great through the weather. The glass jar sits in very tightly so I'm not sure how the animals would be able to push it off. The squirrels said to give it 4.5 stars.....

Yes, I've purchased 2 of them and both were held together with staples. I simply reinforced them using wood screws and they are still working fine Hope this helps.

I don't know if all are like that but I did have to install metal L brackets on mine to keep it together. I also use bunji cords to hold the glass feed container on the stand since the animals would push it off to the ground. However, after those few minor changes the feeder is doing excellent after two years. The animals love it too.

I really don't know, but I will say this: I have numerous different staplers and have tried to use staple from one brand stapler in other staplers that looked like they should fit and even though the staples would fit into the stapler, they would jam and not work properly. It was very frustrating to have every other staple jam in the machine and have to take the time to pry it out. I say just from past experience, it really is best to have the proper staples for the machine you have.

I looks like it is both stapled and glued. The posts seem to be glued and the rest are both. We have had ours almost a year and it still looks new.

yes, it is seemless held together by a glue strip. 1st time is used it the seem came undone. I had to take it down and use tape to put it back together.

I've been using the same cheap, garden variety, no-name 26/6 staples in this flat clinch stapler as I was previously using in my old bubble-clinch stapler. I'm not particularly of the impression that a special flat-clinch staple even exists. The only significant difference is the mechanics of the unit, so the same staple should perform equally as well, albeit flattened.

The outside is made of plastic, but it is a sturdy plastic. The parts that really interact with the paper are metal. Don't expect it to staple more than 8 sheets of even regular copy paper. It is not designed to do that. It does work great for a couple of sheets.

Definitely. That's what I used it for. Just get extra heavy duty staples. I think some come with it, but I can't remember.

No! It is super cheaply made, and in my case, fell apart almost instantly. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone.

No, it is very cheaply made. My son never got to use it because it fell apart.

Hi. It doesn't hold one entire strip of staples. It leaves just a few behind. I've been using the Swingline standard staples in mine and it works flawlessly. I've not had one jam. It's also very easy to use and doesn't cause muscle fatigue. My wife has carpal tunnel and has weak hands, so this was a great choice for her too.

Hi Wendy, it is not transparent all of the way through so that you can actually see the staples. The staples are encased in a silver casing inside the plastic part. Hope this helps!

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

I returned this because one of the magnets was missing and I did not re-order it because it was very cheaply made for the price I paid. I will say if it had been complete I probably would have kept it but was not impressed enough to order it again. From memory, I believe you can only load the paper from the one end as shown in the photo, but I am not 100% positive.

It is strong enough for most tasks, designed pretty well for use, but after a week the staples got caught underneath the sliding part that is supposed to move them forward and nothing we tried would fix that.So, while it doesn't jam, it also does not work. Wrote Arrow,got no response, but called the phone # in the instructions and was requested too send it back for repair or replacement by the person in charge.Have not done that yet, but think there's hope,after all.

This fastener does not use staples, it uses standard corrugated fasteners. I've only used Air Locker corrugated fasteners and they work fine if you use long strips. If you put short pieces in the fastener it jams.

Probably not, we ended up tacking ours down with staples as well as the adhesive. So, adhesive alone...no.
