    Cheaply made plastic. Some plastics are tough; this one isn't. You can tell it's not going to last with regular office use. Staplers should be very rugged as people end to pound the lever to put the staple through the paper(s). I wish we could go back to the "old days" when they made staples strong and sturdy. I do like the "clinched staple" feature and the easy push button to open the staple draw, but it's too cheaply made. I have yet to find a good STRONG stapler yet. I'll just keep looking.

          I bought this for my lab class because the students are turning in multipage lab reports of thick glossy paper & I was sick of the multiple bent useless regular staples. This quickly accurately staples their work & it stays stapled even through handling and grading.

                          Does this stapler need to be oiled? I read in a review that it does - and the way it works, it acts like a little lubrication would be a good thing. What type of oil should be used, and where should it be applied?

                            Make sure the spring staple tray is not stuck open. You may have to push the hinge all the way back on the stapler before you are able to staple again. If this does not work, push the button on the bottom; this will help.

                            This stapler is specifically designed to use the Staples® 3/8" High-Capacity Staples, which are larger than the standard 1/4" staples regular staplers use. Unfortunately, the 1/2" or 3/4" staples will not fit into this stapler. The Swingline® Heavy-Duty Stapler (item: 386312) may work better for you as it can use 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" staples. To place an order for this item, please contact Staples at 1-800-333-3330.

                          Why does the stapler not secure the staples tight against the paper on the underneath side?

                          • A:

                            Ideally this is supposed to be a stapler that clinches staples flat, but a variety of factors can come into play. I'd first check that you're using a high quality staple, particularly if you're fastening just a few sheets of paper together. Often times you'll find that even though a staple is listed as a specific size, they might be slightly longer or shorter than other staples of that side which will effect how tightly they fasten against the back of the paper.

                            The stapler is not adjustable, when loaded correctly and closed correctly, the staples should be less than an inch from the top paper edge. Your stapler may not be closed all the way, there shouldn't be any space between the bottom black and middle silver piece.
