Does this stapler open to tack papers to the wall?

I am sorry this stapler did not work well and we no longer have it so I am not sure if it opened or not

Yes, though I don't know how effective it is as I've never used it for that.

I doubt it - I had such terrible luck with that stapler model that I threw it away - it suddenly wouldn't staple anything. I bought a much heavier duty one that worked better.

It does, the drop down paper tray has the extra piece that extends out to accommodate longer papers as well.

No, the stapler is not transparent. There is a silver piece through the top that covers the staples.

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

Hold the stapler as though you were going to staple something and they use your thumb on the same hand to slide the clear cover away from you. You really shouldn't need to open the stapler because it doesn't use staples. The only time you need to slide open the clear window is if it jams.

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

Yes but not much. This is great stapler, I recommend it. But extra staples with it

No it does not open up to allow for stapling on a vertical surface. It is a very good desk top stapler that requires very little effort to staple paper together.

This isn't the type of stapler that's used to staple papers. It doesn't fold the staple under in order to hold the papers together

This stapler is for paper or cardboard, the stapler body is hinged to the base and will not open. I staple 60 to 70 papers at one time and works great for what I do. Easy enough that my 5 year old granddaughter can use and reload with no problem.

The attached papers are not as secure as those attached by a regular stapler. It is easy to separate papers.

Can you expand on your question? If you mean you want the staples to close like a office stapler does, you won't get those results with any staple gun I know of. The reason an office stapler gives you closed staples is because of the metal plate on the opposite side of the stapler folds the staples under pressure. Let me know if this helps answer your question or not.

Yes it does, but like the other posters stated, you may have to re-seat the staple slide. No biggie.

No, it cannot. I was disappointed that you could see the entire metal undercarriage (for lack of a better word). I glued colored stones across the top but still was not happy with the result. In the end I tossed it... It wasn't the best made stapler as the section that holds the staples never locked into the top - it was loose.

It does not open up flat like you will need for a bullitin board. But anyone who does quantity stapling will never want any other stapler again.

Interesting question, Michelle. Actually, it will open to approximately 100 to allow some "wall" stapling, but not the true 180 open face stapling. As to why it doesn't, I, as a tester I don't have the answer, I only test it and note this. I wasn't part of the design team. That said, though, from the way it was designed to have sort of a fulcrum in the top part of the stapler to make stapling papers easier, it appears this addition of the fulcrum took away the ability of the stapler to open "fully flat." Given that this stapler operates so effortlessly, I feel , personally, it was a fair trade-off in functions, especially if someone who has arthritis needs to have a reduced effort stapler. I've noticed several products I've reviewed have been commented on by the manufacturer. Maybe, your question will be seen and answered by someone at Swingline.
