It's the best compact size stapler on the market (20 sheets - absolutely true). It's so good that I have purchased 20 to give away as gifts. If you need to staple more than 20 sheets of paper, get the standard size Staples "One Touch" DX-3 (28 sheets - absolutely true) - it's bulky, but it's the best standard size stapler on the market. The PaperPro Prodigy (Generation II) stapler is the second best standard size stapler on the market.
This stapler sucks! I have ruined so many sheets of paper with it! The staples constantly get stuck and it takes like 5 tries to even staple anything! I would not recommend it one bit!
Press down on the black button on the back of the stapler. The stapler carrier will pop right out. Once you have inserted the staples push the staples carrier back in until it clicks.

Q:
Does this CX-3 stapler really use the same staples as the full-strip DX-3 model? The CX-3 sheet capacity is 20, but the DX-3 sheet capacity is 28.
