I’ve had this stapler for less than 2 days and will be sending it back for a refund. After going through 1 strip of 3/8” staples, I had a success rates of less than 10% - most of the time it either fails to staple, jams, or staples partway through then bends. I needed to clear jams at least once every 5 or 6 attempts. Maybe it’s a bad unit but this isn’t just some small issue, it’s completely unusable.

Esta es mi segunda, la primera me durado por más de 10 años y es muy eficaz a la hora del trabajo pesado, su rentabilidad es muy buena

My first one of these got lost when my house was renovated. I had bought it at an Office Max store that was going out of business. It was marked down 60 or 70 percent. I put off replacing it, because of the price. The price on Amazon as I type this is under $22 with free shipping, which is cheaper than what I paid for the first one. To understand just how good that price is, compare it to other staplers. The price is essentially the same as the 60 sheet stapler, which I also have, and which is a good value in its own right(and much more sleek and compact). The next larger size adds about 30 percent to the number of sheets that can be stapled and about 110 percent to the price. This is a big, rugged, mostly metal machine, built to tight enough tolerance to be very effective and reliable.As far as the performance goes, both of mine have been near flawless, as have the ones I've used in various offices. As long as no one drops it on the floor causing misalignment or tries to staple something other than paper, you can expect similar performance. I don't use them enough at home to induce significant wear, so I can't confidently comment on performance in an industrial environment, although I've not seen a Swingline wear out since the Tot 50 that I bought as a child more than half a century ago. One reviewer said he had had one that suffered from wear, and I believe his situation envolved really long-term heavy use. At this price, you just go ahead and use it a few hundred thousand times (20 boxes of 1/4" staples would be 100,000) and then buy another.Note that it has a built-in adjustable guide to speed up production jobs. Also take note of the fact that you may need several sizes of staples, and you may have to switch out staples on a regular basis to cover all sizes of stacks of sheets. The staple sizes are 1/4" (heavy duty only) for 2-25 sheets, 3/8" for 25-60 sheets, 1/2" for 40-90 sheets, 5/8" for 75-120 sheets, and 3/4" for 90-160 sheets. You cannot use your 1/4" standard staples, which will jam the machine big-time. You must use heavy duty staples. Sheet quantities are estimates based on 20 pound paper, which is standard copier/printer paper.If you can use one of these, and they're still under $30, I'd recommend you buy it before someone comes to his senses and doubles the price. Right now, they represent a singular deep dip in the cost/performance curve.
