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.

Good for packets awkward on a few sheets

    Best Uses

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

      You have to push too hard to get the staple to finish a nice flat back for everyday use (a few sheets at a time). It works very nice for thick packets. I will place this stapler for when working with large packets and replace it for my everyday use.

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

      Regular hand-held full-strip staplers are hard for me to use because of arthritic hands. This stapler allows for easy stapling using the palm of my hand with less effort. Also like the flat stapling, although you have to give the extra push to get it to completely secure the staple. That extra push makes it nosier than the standard desktop stapler which is not a problem with a home office but might be an annoyance in a crowded office. Otherwise, it's excellent so far and more flexible to move around than an electric stapler.

            This stapler is easy to use and can accommodate the busiest of offices. I would not recommend it if you hold the stapler in your hand to staple as it is a little heavy. But on the desk it is easy touch and handles multiple papers with ease. The square folding of the staple makes clean neat corners for multiple filing ease,cutting down on the bulk of rounded staples. No ragged edges to cut finger tips on. When the stapler runs out of staples, a simple push of the button on the back of the stapler releases the chamber to load full strips of standard staples.

              The first one I bought I had to return it wouldn't push the staples forward after you used it. the second one you have to push really hard to get the staples to bend once thru the papers. It was a great price and I have not had problems with other staples brand items, but not happy with this one.

                    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.
