A year ago, I bought a similarly priced, name-brand stapler to use at work. It broke two months ago and I purchased this stapler as a replacement. I never realized how many jams, mis-staples and problems I had with the old one until I got this stapler. I've been worry free with stapling since this new one arrived.

And the design is amazing, you can literally staples 10 sheets using your index finger. I can't believe how much force I've used in the past just trying to staple a few sheets.

While it seems odd to get excited about a stapler, anything that takes a little frustration and aggravation out of my day is welcomed. I would highly recommend this product.

For [$], I don't want to be wondering if stapling 10 pages together is going to cause the stapler to jam or give me a staple that's sticking up from the paper.This thing was a lemon right out of the packaging. I treated myself because I got sick of the 4 dollar staplers jamming during my tax season.Well, this thing aint the answer. It looks good, and is studily built, but it just was not reliable and I was not pushing it beyond it's capabilities by any stretch.I'd stay away, spend another 8 dollars and get a true heavy duty stapler.

      my stapler at work would always jam or not make it through a stack of papers. I bought this stapler based on price. it works great! haven't had a jam yet, and goes through stack of papers with ease.

            I have a central desk that is used by other people while I am not in the office. I needed a new stapler for my desk as mine died of old age. I studied all the staplers Staples had on display and decided on the One-Touch. I couldn't believe how smoothly it works with little effort. My boss used it a couple times, told me he really liked it, and asked that I buy him a blue one. I had bought mine in the magenta color so the guys wouldn't permanently borrow it and if it disappeared from my desk I could more easily find it! Another of my bosses also wanted one, so his is black.

                      Only one small con-I didn't realize that it stapled flat--this can cause the stapler to snag on stuff if not stapled quite hard. Otherwise, I love the touch of the stapler.

                          At the back of the stapler there is a silver or gray tab, press the tab and the stapler opens. The stapler can also be opened from the front, pulling the silver and black parts apart.

                        I LOVE thhis stapler and I am using the correct staples but just today, it is not working properly. I will staple one staple and then it is as if it is empty of staples. I put in the new strip and it works for the first staple then it staples but no staple comes out. I can't afford to just buy a new one so I really need to know how to fix this one.

                          A:

                          Make sure you have standard staples in your stapler. This stapler does not require special staples, but you may have mistakenly put special staples in it. Else, you may have a jam inside the staple tray near the end. Check to make sure the staple pathway is clear and try stapling again.
