This review is from: Stanley Bostitch Heavy-Duty 45 Sheet Capacity Plier Stapler (B8HDP) (Office Product)

I've never paid much attention to staplers until I had a need to staple multiple thick stacks of paper. That was when I realized most staplers will only go through 20 sheets of paper. I purchased this with a box of B8 1/4" staples, because it claims to be able to staple 30 sheets of normal paper. I don't know how they do it, but it really works. It goes through 30 sheets of normal copier paper effortlessly with the 1/4" staples. I haven't tried 45 sheets since I don't have the 3/8" staples.

Note that you must use the PowerCrown B8 staples, either 1/4" or 3/8". Some of the reviewers don't seem to be aware of this, which explains the low rating.

All parts of this stapler is sturdy, with one exception - the spring-loaded clip holding in the staples. It feels flimsy and is held in place by two plastic tabs. That is the only part that I'm worried about breaking. Be careful when removing the clip if it is almost fully loaded. Since the spring is under tension, if you don't hold on to it tightly, the clip can go flying across the room.

Stapling a stack of paper one-handed is effortless if you have medium sized hands (or larger, obviously). No more pounding on a desk stapler hoping to drive the staples all the way through.

There are two small holes near the front of the stapler, allowing you to tell whether there are any staples left, and what type you have loaded. Packaging says it can be used as a tacker, but I haven't figured out how to unhinge it. (see Krankshaft's comment below on how to accomplish this. Thanks, Krankshaft.)

One last thing, not related to its performance as a stapler. The packaging looks like the clam shell hard plastic type guaranteed to draw blood when opening, but it is actually held together by friction tabs that opens easily. Altogether, a very nice stapler with that one flaw in design I mentioned.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" stapler!, March 3, 2008

This is a great stapler. In my office there are only 2 of these staplers. I live / work on Guam and for 5 years I have been able to buy the staples for this stapler, but this last year - the local office supply stores have not had these staples, (and have never had the stapler). So on line I went and found them at a very affordable price and now the rest of the office staff have the newer model. Now there are 5 Bostitch staplers and 20 boxes of staples. We are set for awhile! I wish I had ordered one for home!

I'm a tax preparer and put staplers through much abuse.

I've had this stapler now for better part of a month and reloaded it probably 5 times or more...it has jammed on me less than 5 times overall...not bad for 5 reloads I guess?

For the money I spent, this is definately the best manual stapler I've owned...punches through 20+ sheets smoothly and without effort!
