Good heavy-duty stapler
I was happy to purchase this heavy-duty stapler for our office. It lets me use different size staples depending on the different projects I am using it for. I am happy to use this product.

NOT HEAVY DUTY OR MADE TO LAST!
The staple plate is made of cheap material and broke off during use. Very disappointing this piece is not covered under warranty since the plate SHOULD BE HEAVY DUTY.

Jams often
I'm on here buying a new one.I've had this one for 5-6 years and it jams every single time I use it. Also, un-jamming it is difficult.

Would give it 0 stars if i could
Constantly jammed. Got a proper job maybe once every five attempts. Absolutely made no difference the size of the job. 30 pages, 100 page, 140 pages. Jammed over and over and over until it broke altogether after exactly one year. Countless documents destroyed at the corners from tinkering with this piece of garbage. DO NOT BUY.

Terrible quality
Our office has had three of these staplers in as many years. One broke and needed to be thrown away. One consistently jammed and needed to be replaced. One is brand new and fresh out of the box jams 9/10 times stapling 35 sheets of paper with 3/8" staples. It's absurd. Either the staple doesn't go all the way through the paper, 3 staples come out at once and leave a nas...

would not order again
One of my staff that staples 20+ sheets together used this stapler and after the first use it broke. Very disappointed, especially with the Swingline brand. Normally I have no problems with Swingline.

Poor quality
I bought the stapler about 2 years ago, and use it for a thick *monthly* report that a regular stapler can't do. Yes, I've used it about 20 times, with staples recommended by Swingline, This past weekend the bottom of the bed that bends the staples once they've gone through the paper snapped off, so the staples no longer bend. I'm not throwing away a $60 stapler for thi...

It's great until it breaks
How do I go about getting a replacement piece? The plastic cap that pushes the staplers in place has broken.

Not as good as I thought.
This might just be returned, it keeps getting jammed. They never told me that in order to use this to its max capacity(140+ pages), You need to buy all different staples. I didn't even see them in the store.

Does what it claims
It works like a charm. Does everything it claims it will. Have tried other heavy capacity staplers that haven't worked well but this one does. Seems very durable so I expect it will last a good long time. Be sure to buy the right staples to go along with it.

powerful stapler
good stapler but before ordering customer service told me that ANY staples would be compatible as long as they fit. but that is not that case. if not long enough then they will jam the stapler. and, indeed, there is a note on the stapler saying noting the restriction. otherwise its fine.
