Stapler, 25 Sheet Capacity, Optima 25, Jam Free, Reduced Effort, Soft Grip, Blue and Gray (66404)

Such a simple item, but how did I live 50 years without a decent stapler. Volunteer work and large documents have made this a well used item. It is a Solid weight and works well for thick stapling, as advertised.

After dealing with different staplers I was desperate to find one that actually stapled through more than two pieces of paper. I was very skeptical but paid more hoping to get more. It worked. This stapler is wonderful. It is not compact but that wasn’t important. Stapling paperS was the issue. Have stapled 10 sheets - no problem. No grunting or pounding or jamming. Works like a breeze. Amen.

Heavy duty. Easy to fill. Doesn’t jam. Easy to use.

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'm a teacher and I use this thing every single day. What a great stapler! Goes through paper like butter and with barely any effort!

I bought this stapler for work because cheap ones hurt my wrist to use. Very sturdy and when I leave my job, I'm taking it with me!
