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.

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.

This is a fun stapler and adds a little color to my work desk. I am a little disappointed because the description says it staples 20 pages - it does not. In fact, the stapler itself reads 15 page staples on the side. Enjoy!

I love these staplers. Bought several more to give as gifts to my family. Good design. Very reliable.

I bought this for my son's teacher as a gift. I own 2 of them myself and use them at work. One is this size and one is the larger size. This is great for most stapling. I had to get the larger one, cuz I prepare taxes and the larger ones need the bigger stapler. With the arthritis in my hands, this is the only stapler I will use now.

We use this stapler in my class. I have students with physical disabilities. This stapler is easy to use; much like using an electric stapler. We even use it to hang posters. The staples go easily into the wall. We even have other students/staff come in to use the stapler. The colors are nifty as well. I am planning on getting a different color for each of my staff (since they won't leave mine alone).

I received my stapler is a perfect condition. It does it's job in a perfect way. Nice color. Nice design. But my little complain is that it needs little effort (more than 1 finger) to press it completely to staple.

All in all. Great product. Will never use a regular stapler again.

Been using it since I got it and it's still working. the spring isnide became more easy to use now. and can use 1 finger to finish the job :)

A stapler might seem like such an incredibly simple item to have in an office. You press down the top part. It connects pieces of paper together. Done, you move on to another task.

However, it seemed like stapler after stapler I used brought me nothing but grief. The staples would jam. The staples wouldn't go in properly. I spent half the time feeling frustrated that such a simple piece of equipment couldn't work properly.

Then I came across the PaperPro stapler. I don't mean to rhapsodize TOO much over what a stapler can do, but this is just amazing! It takes the lightest touch to get it to work. The staples are perfect. It doesn't jam. It is simply wonderful!

I was talking with my Dad one night and he was explaining how his stapler never works properly. I promptly bought him a PaperPro stapler of his own, and now he loves it as well.

With all the grief we deal with in the world, it's nice to have something that is dependable and reliable to turn to. Plus I adore the translucent green color.

Just looking at this on my desk makes me happy. I know it will do exactly what it needs to do whenever I call on it. Wouldn't it be nice if everything in life was like that?

I purchased my stapler with my own funds, and have owned it for over a year now.

Highly recommended.
