Perfect!
A perfect stapler to pair with my pencil sharpener! Having a kid in virtual school, this has been a huge help and cuts down the time it takes to manually staple things together and also helps organization immensely

Not Practical
Batteries new, didn't last more than 2 days, have to plug in which isn't always practical.

Quality Stapler Gives Quality Results
Bostitch is a stapler that comes in different sizes, different weights and other ergonomics and variables. It opens up to change out the staples and when using it makes quality staples which is important in making quality groups.
Overall, the amount of staples per paper groups is incredible!

Works well
This Bostitch electric stapler is really cool. I like that you can either use AA batteries or the AC adapter that’s included. The size is decent, without being too bulky for an office space or desk. It has a decent weight to it and seems to be very sturdy. The staples load very easily and it’s able to staple 10-20 sheets of paper instantly. I think this is a really good...

Awesome stapler
My wife loves her new Bostitch electric stapler! It is so easy to use, staples multiple papers at once, and runs off of batteries or being plugged in. I haven't experienced any jamming, and it looks to be built to last.

Battery operated as well as plug in.
This is a great stapler for my desk. It can easily be moved to my craft area because it can be used with batteries or plug in. That is great when I sit outdoors to craft. My entire family uses this. Our son uses it for school projects, husband for paperwork and I use it for multiple jobs. It has nice grip/table protectors on the bottom. It is lightweight but doesn’t tip...

Absolutely needed
Absolutely love this stapler. It is so reliable and so powerful! It’s super light weight and you can plug it in or use batteries. I was able to staple 10 card-stocks together with no issue at all!

horrible
This is a horrible stapler. It jams every other time I try to use it. I thought because it was a Bostitch brand that it would be good.

will only staple 5 times
When you staple 5-6 times in a row it stops working. have to open the tray and push back in and it works 5 times and again open the tray. that is to much work. I do not recommend.

The salesperson did not know what staples to use for this unit. We bought what she said. We need to go back and obtain the proper one.

Doesn't work well
Can't handle many pages. Sometimes works ok has a delay. Other times no staple comes out. Have to open it move the staples and try again. Sometimes the delay you end up sittting there waiting for it to lift back up can take seconds.

Bostitch Electric Stapler 20 sheet
Bostitch Electric Stapler 20 sheet is a very good stapler. I would like for it to be a little bit more quite. It is not as loud as 50 sheet stapler tho.
