I took this to work and let everyone use it. We use a stapler often during the day, and this holds up well to the use. It's simple and easy to use, none of my co-workers have any trouble with it. The only problem I've seen is that the paper quide moves too easily, and you end up stapling things farther down than you planned. Otherwise (and that's not a big thing to me), a great stapler.

I work in a small office that produces many multipage documents that are sent out for mailing on a daily basis. I also print & mail bills to clients. This stapler doesn't handle the workload of a small office & definitely not a large one. From the beginning I didn't like the way it stapled as though it didn't really push the staple down hard enough to flatten the staple. We had it a couple weeks before it jammed the first time. It constantly jams so you can't get the staple loader in and out. Now the release latch hangs out the back of the stapler because the housing of the stapler has started to come apart. The guide doesn't stay in place so you have to reset it many times during a stapling job. It doesn't handle many pages. The top pops off the stapler if you try to staple more than a few pages. The design is poor and the quality is low.

            Comments about Swingline� Optima� Electric Full Strip Stapler, 20 Sheet Capacity, Silver:

            This has to be the worst office product I've ever purchased. In Short:
            * Its jams with any thickness over 4 sheets.
            * The paper guide is so loose that it jumps back after every "punch".
            * It also jams unless you keep a near full strip of staples in at all times.

            This stapler is now in several pieces after being thrown across the room into the nearest wall.

            If I could rate it a zero I would.

              Definitely does not staple 20 pages of any paper. More like 12 tops. Also frequently double staples when on "Auto" setting. I am using the recommended premium staples so that isn't even an excuse.

                      The manufacturer says to use a specific staple but we used the generic equivalent which is a standard staple available anywhere.
