Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have this stapler. People in my office who used it love it. It is small and easy to use. The reduced force is a welcome touch. Because of the reduced force mechanism, you'll feel a first click, when you push it. It is just top part of the mechanism closing onto the staple. But your staple isn't pushed through at this point. You need to follow it through until the entire staple closes with a second click, and then you'll get a perfect staple every time. I have a feeling people who get jammed staples is because they didn't staple all the way through, like mentioned above. Another thing is, this stapler uses normal staples. It does NOT use fancy "high capacity" or "heavy duty" staples. I know this little thing can staple 40 sheets (amazing isn't it?). Maybe that throws people off and think it needs the special staples to do the job. No, it doesn't! It uses the regular staples. But Swingline does recommend use their premium staples. I have used both generic staples (though it's still Swingline branded) and premium SF.3 staples and I have no problem with either.
