The staple chamber is 4.75 inches long. The Boston-brand 'standard' staple strips that I have measure 4.5 inches long. I don't know if other brands' strips are the same length. But overall I would say "yes."

I am not sure. I have not seen any staples even though my cat has nearly worn out spots with her claws.

I am no expert. But I purchased the staples that came with it. I have a regular Bostitch stapler and it only uses B8 staples. So far I like it very much - very powerful, but loud.

They at times. This is designed for heavy duty staples. Standard staples, wont pass through a certain number of pages and will break under pressure of the machine. If they do successfully pass through, look forward to clearing jams regardless. Its cheaper to go the right route and buy the heavy duties one time.

Sorry I haven't answered sooner. I have been on vacation. I checked today and it will staple in 1/4 inch. I hope this is helpful to you!

No, you use it to stiffen the fabric, especially around the corners (like in a chair) and then it is stapled.

It uses normal staples. I just tried 30 sheets and it worked fine. Much more than that and there won't be much staple to bend over.

It seems like it did but it's been awhile and it is a little foggy. Yes, I remember now, but there weren't very many staples, maybe 50. The gun has been reliable and works good. I have used over 2000 3/8 inch staples since I got it. I hope this helps.

No, this is a heavy duty stapler; key to use is to staple all the way when you begin by one rapid movement do not half staple or stapler could jam; you will stop using your swingline & bostich staplers

It does not take any staple. The way it works is as follows: the paper is first cut twice: one like the outline of a belt, another like a slit opposite the first cut. The belt-like section will then be folded and tucked into the slit to secure the papers together. It works well, although performance depends on the number of papers and the paper grade. Obviously, the paper will have a small hole left in it after the operation.

It uses standard staples, at least until it breaks. For me that was on the 3rd staple.

It has staples. Hope it works for you. I inserted it into a clear cover. Made a photo collage of some special friends, inserted that into the cover and used as Christmas gifts. Was a Big hit.

none! That's the beauty! It cuts and folds the paper in a very clever way, meaning you don't need staples at all!

The stapler doesn't have any staples. It very ingeniously makes a tab that folds back onto itself. The only part that opens is the clear window. To open it simply place your thumb on the top of the window and slide it away from the main body. Just be very sure not to use more than 5 0r 6 (less if the paper is thick) pages or you run the risk of the unit jamming. That would be the only time it's necessary to slide the clear window open. This item is not meant for heavy duty stapling. I use it for things I know I will eventually shred or documents that won't repeated referral - only filing for safe keeping. Hope this helps.

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.

It uses regular size staples. However, I could not get it to staple 20 pages... it stapled about 12 pages, maximum. I found this stapler absolutely useless and returned it. I would NOT recommend this stapler to anyone.

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.
