5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than another brand's model, April 9, 2009

I had purchased a comparable electric stapler manufactured by another company but that one didn't work very well. This Bostitch Electric Stapler works fine. It may not look very stylish but if you want something to staple a few to a moderate number of pages, this Stanley stapler is fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A workhorse, worth the money, does just one thing really well!, June 24, 2011

I had an earlier version of this stapler that wore out after eight years of heavy use. I replaced it with this one from Amazon. Although this one is no longer US made, the quality is still excellent.

I'd compare it to an plain Jane Italian made espresso machine...no bells and whistles but rock-solid reliability.

Two important things about this stapler that make it stand out: First, it does not use an AC adapter and plugs directly into the electric outlet. Competing brands claim to give you flexibility by using batteries or an AC adapter. But that is false economy because you will trade off the force with which this one can staple right through heavy paper. This model works particulary well with Speedpoint SF 4 staples sold at your local office supply stores (they cost a bit more but last a long time). They work better than the Bostich branded staples.

Second, the red indicator light warns you when you're about to run out of staples. It is not perfect but does the job.

There's nothing "pretty" about this stapler, but it is a low key workhorse that does just one thing really well: Staple!

Highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wore out my Second One, June 22, 2010

I'm on my second one of these. I do a lot of stapling at work. My first one wore out in about a year or two, and I thought well I had a lemon. So I bought another one and now it's doing the same thing. It gets jammed and has a week staple sound. I've got them unjammed, but it's like the spring has broken and it won't work anymore.

I do love the way it staples -- I have no problem with that at all. It's just shouldn't it last more than a couple of years?

I will look for a better quality one.
