What a great staple-puller. I had always wind up ripping the papers with the traditional puller. Not with these - perfect design & easy to use. Now that I'm scanning everything coming into my office, it's a prized possession

Used one of these at work and loved it enough to buy one for home.  It's amazing how many sheets of paper it can staple with just a little effort.  Nothing like old staplers where you sometimes jam your wrists.  They've designed a spring action into the mechanism which does the work.  I like products that do a better job.  It's expensive but if it lasts it'll be worth the investment.

This is my second Stanley Bostitch power stapler. I've taken a lot of ribbing from my co-workers about not using a regular stapler, but they are not the ones doing all of the paperwork for the company and the ability to staple one handed is invaluable. My first stapler was a 2-20 page unit that has worked well for years. I decided to upgrade and take the first unit home so I can do work at home more effectively too.

The new unit is very powerful, about as loud as the first one (which I actually like, I like to know something has been STAPLED and not gently caressed with a piece of metal which may or may not have actually bonded the pages together). In fact, it is so powerful, if I only have 2 sheets to staple my 1/4" staples tend to punch right through the first page almost entirely! I talked to tech support who mentioned in their delightful Massachusetts accent that I should use 3/8" staples for less than 20 pages and 1/4" for 20-40 pages. Not wanting to have to switch staples whenever I use the unit, I stuck with the original 1/4" staples. Face it, I'm lazy, that's why I got a power stapler to begin with. <grin>. Other than the over penetration issue with a mere 2 pages (and not enough to badly affect how the staple holds the paper), an excellent unit.

Really good device, works as intended. I have been using it for over 2 months and it helps me get into tight spaces to remove staples. Other staple remover I had broke almost instantly. I would recommend this. It will hold up well and do the job which is more then I can say for the other remover I had.

love this stapler!  I'm very picky because most of them constantly jam or are so hard on your hands to use them... this one is smooth and easy to use!!  I found the staple loading strange because it differs from most, but you'll get used to it!

This is the best stapler I have ever used. It takes remarkably little effort to use, even when stapling large amounts of paper. It seems to be very robust and I imagine it will serve me well for decades to come. I haven't been able to get the stapler to jam even when stapling the document twice in the same place in quick succession. The staples are easy to load in the front, though they don't simply drop in, you must push back on the internal spring mechanism a little bit for the entire stick of staples to fit. I also appreciate that the back side of the staple is flat rather than curled like most staplers which means stacks of stapled documents sit flatter than with curled staples.

The reason why I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is that this is geared toward being a hand-held stapler rather than a desk stapler (meaning it's meant to be mobile), and the release button for the staple carriage stands proud. If this stapler is placed in a bag or something there is a good chance the button will be pressed and the staple carriage will eject (it has happened to me). If it were slightly recessed this would not likely occur. This still is the best stapler I have ever used and I plan on purchasing a second one.

Ive had staplers in the past that were useless if you had to staple together more than 3 or 4 sheets of paper. This heavy duty stapler solves the problem. It comes with color-coded staple cartridges. The color listed on the stapler itself indicates which staple is best. For instance, the blue cartridge is perfect for stapling 2 to 25 sheets; the yellow cartridge is for stapling 26 to 40 sheets, etc. The staples are thicker and longer with each level in order to get through so many pages. The stapler can staple up to 80 sheets at one time (using the red cartridge).

The stapler itself is bigger than traditional staplers, probably because it is made stronger to penetrate more than a couple of sheets of paper. Fortunately, it is much lighter than it looks, so anyone should be able to use it without a problem.

I had difficulty loading the cartridge, since no instructions accompanied the unit. After trial and error, however, I was able to load the machine, which turned out to be quite easy.

For home use, this unit might be overkill, but if you have occasion to staple lots of sheets of paper, this is the stapler for you.

I've purchased several of these, this model  over the years.  A really great construction stapler.

Very good stapler.  Used it to reupholster some couches and it stood up to this newbie's rough & tumble mistakes.  :-)

Wow I wish I would have had this for the last 20 years ;-)  It prevents the paper from tearing while pulling the staple out, much better than the "jaws" style we have all used.

This thing is awesome. I prefer to read longer reports on paper rather than on one screen or another. Some, such as company financial reports and academic papers are routinely >50pgs, which a normal or even heavier-duty stapler just can't handle. I got this with 3 different staple lengths and can't complain besides I've yet to figure out which staple to use in each situation, though that's totally on me, not the stapler.

I bought this because I got tired of removing staples from documents that I was going to shred.  This does a great job.  I have used it at least 40 times si8nce I got it and it is a real work horse.

Great heavy duty stapler.  I cannot imagine ever wearing this beast out.

Wow!  I often get document packages up to about 3/8" thick, stapled using heavy duty staples from an electronic stapler.  This pulls them out as easy as can be.  I really couldn't believe some of the reviews that said how easy it was, but they're true.  Best staple remover I've ever used.

I ordered several for my co-workers, I already had one!  Everyone loves the quality, it'll pull almost any staple without breaking.

This is awsome!! Some of the reviews for the cheaper $25-$35 range Heavy Duty Staplers weren't good. So I wen't for a more expensive model. It was worth the Cash. This stapler works great. I have to staple large sets of plans and it works every time. And You barely have to push down on the lever.
