Swingline Stapler, 25 Sheet Capacity, Optima 25, Jam Free, Reduced Effort, Soft Grip, Orange and Gray (66402)...

I like how smooth this stapler is when using it! It is not hard to use and can staple a lot of papers at once. It beats the one I bought at walmart. Its worth the buy

Works great

This is the greatest stapler! Goes through paper like a dream. Light weight and you dont have to press hard for it to go through your stack of paper. Literally replaced all the office staplers with this one.

So, I bought this stapler for my 6th grade classroom because all the staplers in my room were broken and I was SICK OF IT! I decided that I wanted one of those fancy reduced effort staplers that you can simply push down with one finger and get a nice clean, flat staple. This arrived and I was very pleased. It's easy to put staples in (and I've had some staplers that, to this day, I can't figure out how the staples go in), and it worked as effortlessly as I was hoping it would. One day, after school, I needed to put student work up on the bulletin board in the hallway. This task requires one to open the stapler and use it against the wall. However, I couldn't open the stapler so I could use it that way. I checked the bottom...there was nothing there. No buttons or levers that would open the stapler. So, I started to pull up on the top of the stapler, thinking (as my father always told me) if force hasn't worked, you haven't used enough. It wouldn't open. Surely, a fancy stapler like this opens up, I thought. One more try. I got a good grip on the top of the stapler and pulled up, not realizing my finger was in front of the spot where the staple comes out. I gave it a good pull and a staple shot right into my finger, because, you know....reduced effort. And it was in there good! It did a REALLY good job of shooting that staple out and straight into my flesh. Thankfully, it did not hit the bone. I did however, need to go get a tetanus shot, just in case. So, be warned that this stapler does not open up so that you can staple on walls. I took one for the team. Now we all know. Otherwise, fantastic stapler!

I bought this as I hate the cantankerous electric stapler and the small stapler that served faithfully for years when my hands were much stronger. This one handles a big 25 sheets of paper, fits nicely in my hand and never fails to put the staples into the paper hard and fast. Others mentioned difficulty with the staples but I use standard Swingline staples and I have no issues. It looks sturdy and I cannot see any reason for it to fail me. It has a flat grippy bottom that keeps it in place on my desk, but it also is a great handheld stapler that fits nicely in my hand. The fit of the staples is snug, but non-problematic. And the price was good. It definitely is easier to use than my ancient huge Swingline stapler that takes a lot of pressure to staple even ten pieces of paper. Agreat asset in the home office!
