I don't know how many staplers we use over the course of one year, but it's a lot. Our staplers go through intense use, and none of the models we tried (and boy did we experiment) would hold up to the strain. It seemed like no matter how much we spent, the staplers would bite the dust in months.
This model, though, is the exception. It has really lasted. We haven't even had to perform surgery on the stapler innards to extract staples gone astray.
I can't think of a con for this item. I liked it so much from use at work that I even bought one of these outside with my own $$$ for my home.
One last pro: it's not made in China junk. It's made in Sweden. Too bad it's not made in USA, but oh well.

The rivet that holds the plate that bends in or flares out the staple fell out in less the 1 ull day of use. We use the 2nd one for less then 3 hours before the same thing happened again. But Staple was more then happy to give us a full refund and help us find a different stapler.
Comments about Elmers Rapid R1 Classic Plier Full Strip Stapler, 50 Sheet Capacity, Chrome:
I bought this stapler as a backup for a much older one. We liked the older one a lot but after using this new one, it's a world of difference. It is much better all around, much quieter, smoother to use and easier to load than the old one. I highly recommend it especially in a business setting.

You can actually just use standard staplers with this model which is item 112276. If you are looking for a heavy duty please see item 104554.

Q:
In the previous questions, one answer said that item #588764 3/8 staples is NOT compatible and one answer said that same item # IS compatible. Please tell me if item #588764 3/8 staple is compatible with this stapler. I want heavier duty staples and would like to order them through Staples.

Someone asked what is the 5/16 inch staple item number for this stapler and was told 112276. 112276 is the item number for the 1/4 inch staple. What is the item number for the 5/16 inch staple?

Q:
I have an old Arrow plier stapler that says "use only S66 Arrow staples". I believe it would take 1/4" staples only which I'm out of. It is a great product and I dont want to get rid of it if I can find staples for it. What do you recommend?
Item number 588764 is compatible and has a 60 sheet capacity.

Q:
I am looking for a stapler capable of stapling the plastic end caps to cardboard mailing tubes. Will this model work for this application? Can you suggest other options for me to consider?
