Do you have to use the Paperpro staples or can I load any heavy duty staple with this? I have a box of Swingline heavy duty staples from my old stapl

In my years of using staplers, they are pretty standard and I have mixed and matched different staples for many different staplers. These look like every other staple and the box does say standard. Of course the mini ones couldn't be used. I never used any staple labeled Heavy Duty like the ones for building things in a home desktop stapler. This is wonderful for thicker pages. Hope this helps.

Hopefully you've bought these already. For future reference, use Dewalt heavy duty staples DWHTTA700 series, Stanley TRA700 series, or arrow T50 heavy duty staples.

Loading staples wasn't intuitive for me either. Look on YouTube for the guy having his 4 yr old demo the proper way. It is simple. Hint. Turn stapler bottom up, slide out the tray, then drop staples point-up into the body of the stapler, close it up. Voila.

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

Regular heavy duty construction stapler & a small hammer, try 1/4 in staples. You may have to tack them in w/hammer, if not secure enough try 1/2 in.

I agree with Ken that this is a great stapler, and I have never needed anything other than the 20 gauge staples. I do have to disagree with him on the availability of the staples. I can get them from my local Home Depot under the brand name Duo Fast. When I ran out of the staples I ordered with my gun, this is where I get mine if I don't have the time to run across town to the flooring supply store.

I used Bostitch crown staples and had no issues. I also used finish nails along the outside edges where I couldn't use the stapler and that worked fine as well. Good luck!!!

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.

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

I bought PaperPro brand high capacity staples. I work as a tax professional and it really will handle a huge stack of papers!

This uses several different lengths of series 23 staples. You can buy them at Office Depot, Office Max, Staples or any other office supply store. You can also get them from Amazon, just type in "series 23 staples" and select the length you need. I bought one of these for our church office and it works quite well in stapling our booklets. Hope this helps. Sam

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

It takes standard/regular-size staples. LOVE this stapler!! When they say you can push it down with one finger,they are not exaggerating - it makes stapling so much easier - great for arthritic hands too, even my Grandma loves it! :)

Hi Deanna As best I can recall, this had been advertised as a heavy duty stapler. In fact, if you surf the net, you will find numerous retailers still calling it that, although the manufacturer seems to have abandoned this, in favor of stressing its "All Steel Construction". I suspect it will hold up fine for light work. Would you like to buy some staples?

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 use the required ACE undulated staples with my ACE Clipper (pistol grip) stapler. It works perfectly every time. It never jams and the staples hold better than regular staples. Buy one and you will never use any regular stapler again.

No, but the staples I purchased for the stapler are Swingline S.F.4 Premium Staples.
