Does it use standard staples?

The packaging says standard staples, but we have had problems (waiting for replacement #4 in as many months) and I was told by ACCO that I should be using premium staples.

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

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.

The stapler takes P22 Standard Staples. This stapler was used while installing insulation on duct work for central air. The stapler worked perfectly.

Yes they do. I find the staples are a bit roomier, but otherwise it's the same

No it does not. I did find that any regular office staples work in the machine and works fantastic.

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

No it doesn't take regular staples and I've only used the recommended staples - Swingline Optima, which work great. No it doesn't hinge all the way open.

This stapler uses industry standard 1/4" staples available in various lengths. You can buy th online, or at most construction related retailers such as Lowes or Home Depot.

No. The staples on this stapler are thicker and bigger than the regular ones.

To be honest, I don't know. I've never put anything thru with staples or paperclips....my best guess would be NO

I use the Optima Premium staples - (35556) because they work well for the 45 sheet stapling capacity. I have not tried the standard staples.

Yes. Mine came with 1" staples I believe but I needed longer staples for the project I was working on.

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.

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

I have used just plain old staples. I never bothered to buy the special staples that are recommended. Maybe I bought Swingline staples. I just don't recall.

I brought some P22 1/4 (6mm) staples from Amazon it did not work, and I brought P22 5/16 (8mm) staples from Amazon it work fine. P22 say it work with 1/4 and 5/16 but my experience 5/16 (8mm) work for me.

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
