Amazon Basics Heavy Duty Stapler, 210 Sheet High Capacity, Long Arm, Industrial Office Stapler with 1000 Staples, Black

What can I say to any perspective buyer, well......it is big, very big, considerably larger that what I had expected a stapler to be, and especially for the price paid (great value), you get a lot of stapler for your money. This truly is the “Stud”, amongst staplers; forget anything you have seen in any high street shops, or supermarket. It measures around 14” in length and 10” in height, from base to the top of the stapler handle. It is the legendary John Curtis Holmes, of the stationery world (please see pictures). It is heavy, and seems well built. Instructions are basic, I initially had issues trying to get the staple carriage out, so that I could load the staples, it was only by chance that I pressed the orange button on the back of the handle (please see picture), for the carriage to slide out, this is not shown in the instructions. I am a casual user of the stapler, and usually staple no more than 25 sheets, on that rarest of occasions; the stapler is built for high volume paper (210 sheets), and I only staple between 2 and 14 sheets, using the larger staples supplied with the stapler, you get an “untidy finish” (please see pictures). I have had to use pliers to flatten the staples down, so beware, as they to stand up, and can cut, and be careful if you are posting, as they could damage the postal systems sorting machines (hefty repair bill). The good thing is, regular sized staples do work (please see pictures), I have tried them out, with no issues, and great finish, effortless! A quick summary; this is a great stapler, if you work in a small office, which deals with high volumes of paperwork, and do not have a dedicated lithographic/printing department, OR someone who likes, to go OTT with their stationery (as I do). I also own a large hole punch, so if size matters (it did to my ex wife), why not get it, you’ll stand out!! Pros: (i) Well made, should last a long time (hopefully). (ii) Can handle large volumes of paper (210 sheets) (iii) Interchangeable staples, so can use large or regular sized staples. Cons: (i) If stapling only a few pages, you will have to buy “regular sized staples (ii) Larger staplers are not readily available. (iii) May need a larger, strengthened desk (iv) You may find the “novelty wears off”, and you get a regular sized, hand-held stapler.

Very very very, easy to load the staples into it and use. Its very stable. I recommend purchasing it.

Hard to dislike anything about it. I paid $27AUD for an extremely sturdy all metal design gigantic stapler that can handle virtually any staple job (including small ones). It is absolutely effortless, so this would make for a fantastic stapler for someone with a disability or reduced strength. Cannot recommend it enough, I imagine it's a loss leader for Amazon.

Fácil de usar, de cambiar grapas. He grapado tacos gordos de folios genial.

Rien a dire de négatif. Utilisation très facile, sans aucun effort.Apparence de solidité (tout métal) donnant confiance sur la durée. relié des brochures de plus de 180 pages sans effort (il faut prendre un certain tour de main pour relier bien droit, mais cela ne dépend pas de l'outil, mais de vous même !)Prix bravant toute concurrence. Pour l'instant un excellent investissement (J'avais auparavant un relieur à spirales, neuf, pratiquement pas utilisé, très solide de mécanisme, mais avec une carosserie plastique qui a cédé entre mes mains ..donc appainutilisable....)
