It’s not a Swingline
Not made to the same quality as a Swingline stapler

Great Stapler!
This stapler is a great tool to have! It has non-slip grips on the bottom to keep it from sliding on my desk. The shape of the top makes it easy to load/unload and it fits in my hand nicely for a quick stapling job any time I need it!

Great Stapler
This stapler is reliable and easy to use. With other staplers I often have to remove the staples that don't go in straight or stick up. The LX 820 staples smoothly and never fails.

Great Stapler
The stapler has a smooth action that takes little force to staple. It is solidly constructed and has a pleasing heft to it. In the days of pandemics, the Microban treatment is a welcome addition. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality stapler. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Best Ever
I have used a lot of staplers since I started working in 1976 and I have never used a stapler that performs as well as this one. Easy to use with little effort and no mis-staples ever.

Changed my mind about staplers
OK, honestly, I thought a stapler was a stapler. I was wrong. I am a teacher and this is seriously the best stapler I have ever used. I can staple huge documents that would previously *not* be stapled, it never jams (no matter how hard the kids slam it), and it has a lovely feel when you use it. (No, I didn't know a stapler could feel lovely either until I used this one...

It just works...like it should
I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. This stapler is a workhorse. Sturdy in design it just plain works when you need it to. I have stapled nearly a hundred items and have had no failures or jams. The fact that can easily swing open for tacking is a plus. If I had a criticism, the only thing I would mention is that the lip of the to...

This has now become my go to stapler in the classroom. It will staple any classroom books we make and opens flat to staple things to a bulletin board easily. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Very Nice Stapler for the size
Got this stapler as a preview. Didn't think much of it until I used it. Wow, it has leverage for a small guy. I staple multiple layers all the time and this has made it a breeze.

Functional Beauty
This is a sleek attractive stapler that is built to last, a great addition to my office. This LX820 opens up so you can use it vertically for a board or as a regular desk stapler. I'm getting rid of two other junkie staplers in favor of this one. It takes full strips so no guessing the length of staple refills, doesn't open up and spill the staples when using vertically...

Quality Product
This is a solid, well-made product that functions well and should last a lifetime. I gave it the acid-test and stapled 32 sheets of a tax document on heavy 20-lb paper stock. A quick ninja-style whack and the staple penetrated without collapsing and folded over correctly on the back. I have an old Swingline no. 4 stapler given to me around 1960 that I've used for over 6...

I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I got this stapler just before we started creating items for our classroom art show. I was honestly surprised and amazed by how efficient it was at binding together construction paper for our books.

Not impressed
When I saw the ad for the staplers I thought that I would get the one that had the embedded staple remover, but apparently I received the low-end stapler. Much too heavy, in my opinion.

Requires extra effort to staple
For a standard stapler, this requires some force to staple even a few sheets of paper together. Kind of surprising.

Jam free Stapler
I have been using the stapler for almost two weeks. I have been through several hundred staples, sometimes stapling over the top of other staples (on purpose) and there has not even been even one jam. The stapler can do 20 sheets according to the specs, but I was able to staple 30 sheets without any trouble. "I received this product free in exchange for my honest and un...

Game changer
When I first saw the stapler I said, "Oh no, white and heavy." But then I used it and was pleasantly surprised. It opens up flat so I can staple things to the wall boards with ease. It doesn't slip across my desk while using it. It stapled continuously without jamming and made me extremely productive (unlike my old stapler). I didn't realize it was treated with Microban...
