Great stapler!
In the past 8 years I have gone through more than 2 other staplers that have worn out to the point that they eject an extra staple with each press. The jaws appear to have enlarged and I have had many issues with incorrect stapling due to these cheap staplers. I have always felt that Swingline staples are superior to other brands so decided to try a Swingline stapler....

Pieces fell off before I could even use it
The top came undone and a random pins and a spring fell out when I tried to put staples in for the first time. I don’t have time to figure out where they came from or how to put it back together. I don’t even have the time to send it back for a refund. So frustrating.

Heavy Duty
I have had this stapler for over a year; it is heavy duty and gets the job done.

Swingline Optima Stapler
Love this stapler. Easy to load, easy to handle, and no jamming. I should've made this purchase a long time ago.

Items not delivered from order
This review is about items missing from order. The office chair was not delivered, was taken back to the store, and removed from my order without approval.

Best stapler ever. Very ergonomic. Rarely gets jammed and easily fixed if it does. I've only had to replace it when someone takes mine and not because it breaks. I wish people would stop taking my stapler but what can you do when it is such an excellent stapler?

Staple the crap outta those Docs
It is awesome but not perfect. its a little side to side wobbly and the base does not have enough heft. This thing is very competent at what it does.

It does not stay shut after loading
I like the high-capacity component. However the staples don't stay in.

Too large, heavy and I have to hit it hard for the staple to close up otherwise the staple remains open. Not happy at all with it.

Stapler does not hold papers. Also the bottom came off of both staplers. I thought the first one was damaged but when the next stapler's bottom came off, I knew it was a problem with the stapler
