5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing stapler, but very loud., October 9, 2009

This review is from: PaperPro Compact Stapler, Translucent Blue (1512) (Office Product)

This stapler is unlike any stapler I've used. It has a great form factor and fits comfortably in my hand. The top and back has a molded gray rubber piece that is very smooth and comfortable. The stapler can also sit on a desk the regular way, or you can invert it and have it standing up.

The main advantages to this stapler are the ease of use and number of pages it can staple. I bought this stapler because I wanted a something that could staple more than a regular stapler without getting jammed of bending the staples incorrectly. The PaperPro is advertised as an extra capacity stapler, but is only rated at 20 sheets, which is what regular staplers are usually rated at. However I found that the actual capacity is much higher. The stapler can easily staple 30 sheets of paper and still keep them bound. It can staple up to 40 sheets of paper, although the staples are too small by this point to bend underneath and hold the papers together permanently. For anything over 30 sheets you will need an extra large stapler capable of using larger staples. The great thing is how little effort it takes to staple pages. With every other regular stapler I've used, the more sheets of paper you staple, the harder you have to press on the stapler. If you want to staple 20 sheets of paper, you have to press down very hard, or slam your hand down on the stapler. Otherwise, the staple just bends and doesn't go through the paper. With the way the PaperPro is designed, stapling 1 sheet of paper is literally just as easy as stapling 40. And it really is "one finger" as claimed. I can use my pink finger and apply about 2 pounds of pressure and staple through 40 sheets flawlessly. I have never had a bent staple with the PaperPro, and I have never had a staple get stuck in the mechanism and have had to use pliers to pull it out, like you have to do with regular staplers.

The one problem with this stapler, is that it is incredibly loud. Like, really loud. Stapling makes a very loud click. I've gotten used to it, but if you do a lot of stapling in a close work environment with other people nearby, you may have to consider another option.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone loves this stapler, August 9, 2010

I have used many staplers over the last 50 years. I still have a Bates Standard Stapler that's 50 years old and will probably last forever. However the little PaperPro compact stapler is my favorite. I prepare income tax returns for seniors as part of an AARP program. During the tax season, my fellow volunteers and I do a lot of stapling. My biggest problem with this stapler is that everyone else loves it and wants to borrow it. I have lost more of these that way than were lost by jamming. Don't say that you weren't warned!

Another problem with the compact stapler is tha it doesn't hold a full line of staples and you have to break them off to get them to fit.
