Had this stapler for 4 months till it stopped working well. The internal mechanism is very flimsy for a heavy duty stapler. i've only been using it up to 5 times a day before it started to jam up on me, tear my papers, and punching holes in documents. DON'T BUY! Go for Swingline, it's 3 times cheaper, has a life time warranty and probably works better.

With over 15 years of constant duty, 'flawless' is the word that comes to mind when I think of my Stanley Bostitch 00540. This stapler has worked perfectly each and every time, and is still functioning perfectly today.

The stapler does bind large stacks if you can make it work.
There is no spring to push staples forward, and (suprise!)
they do not move by themselves. So you have to push them forward
every time you want to use the stapler, and that's not easy.
All that until it jams, and once there, that's it. It is not
designed to be opened, so it sits idle, complete with
"lifetime warranty." A total waste.

Purchased this 6 months ago. I managed to get it to staple a few 50 page documents and the staples were gnarly. After that it just stopped working. Did not come with a manual and is impossible to figure out on your own. I bought Bostich because I wanted a quality name brand, Will possibly change review if I eventually get help from Bostich.

We are a blueprint shop and have 4 offices. We do a lot of stapling of blueprints and this is the only stapler that holds the test of time and takes the abuse we put it through. If you have a lot of heavy duty stapling to do then this is your stapler. We have gone through a lot of them over the years but it's more how we use the stapler than the quality of it.

We aren't crazy about the Bostitch staples though and usually purchase the heavy duty swingling staples as the bostitch tend to break easily.
