Smooth Action
This stapler has a very smooth action; The length of the handle offers considerable leverage, facilitating ease of use. I use it to hold layers of auto upholstery together in preparation for sewing. Be aware that it does not come with any staples, so be sure to order some when ordering this stapler.

Easy to Use???
I bought this for the company I work for about a month ago, and every day I try, and it doesn't even take the staples the description says this stapler uses. Both the 3/8 and 1/4, I use constantly, and try to load the stapler, but it never fits into it. If I could give zero stars....I would.

A kid size stapler. I requested a Bostich P6-8P stapler which uses stronger and larger type pliers attachment. Any I have young grandkids who might use. Not at all satisfied.

don't waste time or money
Worst product Staples has on their catalog. I have spent extra time purchasing 3 different-sized staples, including the ones recommended in the manual and it is impossible to load this pile of metal. I'm really disappointed bc I LOVE the brand, have 3 other different products. This thing (sic) should be banned by the FDA, FTC, NIH, OSHA, Health and Safety, to name a f...

Reliable
This is the sturdiest plier stapler around. I have used the same one for over 40 years. When mine went missing I was happy to see they still make the same one!

Bostitch all metal stapler
This is a great, long lasting office supply well worth much more than its price tag. At work we are provided office supplies but since staplers are constantly breaking or jamming, I got one of these and I’m planning on getting at least one more.

works great
The stapler works perfect unfortunately when I added to cart I received a message that said people that bought this also bought this and it was staples I thought for this stapler. They were not it was for another type of stapler, very misleading.

Should come with a pack of staples since standard staples don’t fit it.
