Updated for the contemporary workspace, the Rio Red is a conversation starter (especially for fans of the movie "Office Space"), colorful accent and high-performance tool all in one streamlined model that fits easily on a desktop or in a drawer.

Workhorse 747 Architecture
The Rio Red boasts Workhouse 747 architecture for increased strength and amazing reliability you can count on. The exceptionally durable die-cast all metal construction holds up well against wear and tear, so this stapler will remain your "go-to" office helper for years to come. The Rio Red is also exceptionally stable, thanks to the positive latch, which ensures secure control, precision and consistency. Finally, this stapler opens for tacking flexibility, so you can easily staple papers or postcards to bulletin boards or hanging calendars.

Efficient, Dependable Operation
The Rio Red is a performance-driven mechanism, which means it's made to help you complete all your stapling tasks quickly and easily. It does one thing, and does it extremely well--it staples two to 20 sheets of 20 pound paper with S.F. Premium Staples (not included) without binding up, crunching paper or producing crooked staples.

An inner rail for jam-resistance and long-term stapling integrity means no more frustration over staples coming out at awkward angles or not going through the paper--or worse, no staples coming out of the stapler at all. Finally, the smooth top and sides make the Red Rio a comfortable stapler to handle, and the rubberized bottom resists slipping and sliding on your desk.

For added peace of mind, the Rio Red comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

About Swingline
Founded in 1925 in New York City by Jack Linsky as the Parrot Speed Fastener Company, the company now known as Swingline is located in the rolling hills northwest of Chicago. Currently a division of the ACCO Brands Corporation, Swingline made its reputation over 60 years ago as the first stapler manufacturer to let you pop open the top of the product and drop in the staples. They've been making equally revolutionary developmental strides in stylish office products ever since.

Movie buffs may recall that a Swingline product was featured in the 1999 cult-classic film "Office Space." One disgruntled employee, named Milton, complains repeatedly that his red Swingline stapler was stolen and eventually sets fire to the office building in retaliation. Although at the time Swingline had not manufactured red staplers for years, customer demand was so tremendous that in 2002 they released a limited edition series.

5.0 out of 5 stars I believe you have my stapler?, February 26, 2006

This review is from: Swingline Limited Edition Series 747 Rio Red Business Stapler (S7074736E) (Office Product)

I was given this stapler as a birthday present last year. I'm a big fan of Office Space, and so it was more of a sentimental gift than a utilitarian one. I was working in a cube farm at the time, and my red stapler provoke many Office Space quotes.

I know this isn't the official red stapler of the movie, as that one was actually spray painted by the props department. However, much like Milton's stapler, it's a good product. It doesn't bind up, crunch paper, or staple funny. And the smooth top and sides make it a comfortable stapler to handle. I have bad hands, and most places I work either have the flimsy plastic staplers that feel like they're going to crush when you staple, or they have the large, clunky staplers with square corners that cut into your hand if you have to squeeze staple. So, while it's funny to think of a stapler as ergonomic, it really it. I also really like that it has ample weight for it's size, and a nice rubberized bottom to keep it from slipping.

Office space jokes aside, this is a stapler worth getting. And hey, if there are any Office Space fans around, they'll appreciate this bright red reminder.

This review is from: Swingline Limited Edition Series 747 Rio Red Business Stapler (S7074736E) (Office Product)

Everyone at my office has a 747 Series Red Stapler in honor of Milton from "Office Space", but the main reason to get one is that Swingline has more features and a better design than other staplers in its class.
