I stapled two identical stacks of documents using my regular stapler on one, and my new flat stapler on the other. The difference was significant! My filing method was binders -- the completed task using my regular stapler had to be put into a 3" binder because of the bulk where the staples were inserted. The second set of documents stapled with the flat stapler could be filed in a 2" binder. Over a year's time this will save on filing space needed to store files. Stapler is easy to use--no jams so far. Found that it lives up to the description written about it. Staples are difficult to remove but pros outweigh cons.

Pushes easily enough however, does NOT fold the staples flat on the backside of the documents. Everytime I must hand push the staples flat. Tried taking staples out of other stapler that worked fine and still did the same thing in this stapler. Am looking for a different stapler because this is just a pain and time consuming.

        Comments about Staples� One-Touch� DX-3 Desktop Flat Stack Full Strip Stapler, 20 Sheet Capacity, Blue:

        I purchased my first Staples One Touch DX-3 Desktop Stapler because it looked like it would take less force to staple a thick wad of paper. The five dollar rebate made it "an offer I couldn't refuse." My other three standard desk staplers would balk at only 10 sheets depending on the thickness and the staples would only partly penetrate forcing me to constantly struggle to pull out the failed staples and try again and again. The One Touch DX-3 is not only effortless and easy on the hand, it staples 20-30 sheets, depending on the thickness of the paper, with a satisfying "thunk" and the ends of the staples are flat on the bottom, not curved like those made by most regular staplers. I liked it so much that I purchased another one for my home office and four more as surprise gifts for the other people at the office where I work part-time.

              • CUSTOMER CARE

                A:

                On the back of your stapler, there should be a black lever. If you push down on this lever, the front of your stapler will extend out allowing you to load staples.
