Good Stapler

[Jwolf24601]

After using the paperpro for a couple months now I can say it works wonderfully. It does however look and feel fragile and cheap, and it makes a very loud noise like a staplegun. I think it will tide me over for awhile until I can afford to buy an El Casco

Staplers at work have no identifying markings on them, at all.

They are JUNK.

 

I have at home a 70-year-old Bostitch stapler that uses staples

with a raised crease in the top. Standard staples are too wide

to fit. It works perfectly.

 

I found an old REXEL "Taurus", made in England, on Ebay. It's

great! I took it to work. I keep it in my desk. I guard it

with magic and a killer three-headed Hydra.

 

Unless you are willing to spend $100 at a boutique store catalog,

go vintage.

Buy the "premium" staples, not the "standard". Who knew that staples came in different qualities. When the office supplier tried to save a few pennies and got the cheaper staples, some would barely pierce the paper or would bend and jam the stapler. It was very frustrating so I bought my own stapler and premium staples. I do a lot of hand stapling so I got a Boston "stand-up" stapler about 25 years ago. For stapling up to 25 pages, I use the Swingline Optima Power-ease with my premium grade staples. I also have several of the tiny (2 1/2 inch) Swingline staplers strewn around my various workstations.

 

NO KIDDING!!!

 

JUST SAY NO to cheap staples.
