Very pleased
The stapler was exactly what I was needing and the next day free delivery was an added bonus. It saved me several days delay in my work project. Thank you!!

Better buy special staples
This was not my favorite buy. I can't use standard staples and the stapler is easy to flip open when trying to staple. If I hadn't thrown away the package I would return it.

Cheap
The product consists of plastic that seems like it will break easily.

NOT THIS ONE
It takes BOSTITCH B8 staples for starters but the real kick is that only 60% of a row of staples fit. The remaining 40% either goes back in the box or throw them in the trash along with the stapler.

Stapler Specifications Incorrect
I ordered this because it said that I could use 1/4" NORMAL staples OR the Bostitch brand. I just received it and you can NOT in fact use normal staples.

Like the stapler but needs special staples
I do not mind getting special staples however why not attach it to the stapler along with the other items selected to "buy with this product" instead of scissors and an organizer.

I received the staples for my Bostitch B8 Xtreme Duty Plier Stapler. I needed the 45 sheet capacity because I staple that many pages from Merrill Lynch statements.
It works great. No bent staples. All 41 pages are solidly stapled. Easy to handle. Light in weight. Not clunky.

Needs special staples
You would think a company called staples would know which staples to ship with a stapler stapler itself is very good buy the 3/8ths staples

Staples don't fit
The packaged product and staples group is not correct. The unit does not take standard staples apparently. You'd think a company named "Staples" could get something involving staplers correct!

Does not use standard staples
I tried to load standard staples and they seemed too wide. I contacted the company and they informed me that standard staples are not compatible. This stapler requires B8 staples. The description does not state that this stapler requires B8 staples. Not sure if I will return it or just cave in and buy the new staples. It definitely affects the utility of this stapler....
