BostitchOffice InPower Spring-Powered Premium Desktop Stapler - One Finger, No Effort, Red/Silver (1117)

A reasonably well made stapler. It's not a tank, so maybe not suitable for environments which are rough on equipment (e.g. classrooms, offices, primate zoo), but will last a careful person a very long time. For me, it was a worthwhile purchase.

I brought this stapler from home when I volunteer at my son's school, because every single stapler in the building is unequal to the task of tacking children's work to the bulletin board in the hallway. I would spend forever out there, feeling lame, surrounded by ruined staples, just trying to tack up their work in the hallway. Finally, I GOOGLED a stapler that could work on bulletin boards, and found this. It's like using a staple gun for bulletin boards. Works so easily. Soon, the other moms were borrowing it, and I just bought another one to give to my son's teacher.I have seen a review that complained that it's too powerful to use on just a few sheets of paper. That one must have been defective, because I tack single sheets to the wall, as well as staple two sheets together, all the time just fine. It's never jammed, and I use it frequently.This is the best stapler I've ever owned. Honestly, before I bought one, it would seem strange for anyone to wax poetic about a stapler. Times change when you've got an entire school of elementary students filing past you to lunch while you are STILL trying to tack up the &*(&*&(*& artwork, without using any naughty words, shoving the stapler against the unforgiving wall surface for the 5,565th time, but the staples of an inferior stapler keep bending and falling out. Then you have to go borrow the secretary's magnet to pick up all the dead staple carnage. Trust me, after an afternoon of this, you would be gleefully telling all your volunteer mom friends about this little dynamo. Instead of sweating and swearing and trying to force those little &(&*& staples into a bulletin board that must be made out of granite, everything goes up with a touch of a finger.

Great, sturdy stapler. No need to pick it up, just stick paper underneath and press the top down a bit. Snap! Stapled. Rarely jams. Overall, super happy!

I got this stapler after hearing my brother rave about his -- we were on a business trip in a new country and we were talking about his stapler, how could I not get one? -- and trying it myself when we got home. He has a plastic version, very light. I loved how easy on the hand it was to staple a decent amount of pages. So here I am, a graphic designer who rarely staples anything, reviewing my stapler, which happens to be, in theory, better than my brother's. I did staple 20 sheets together (not 25 yet) and it worked like a charm: didn't have to use both hands, didn't have to put all my weight on it... Actually, I did it with one finger, like I'm supposed to be able to and not once did it not work (I've had my fair share of practice already.) Be warned that the ends of the staple do stick out and can hurt you. I also started stapling some cardstock I had lying around (think the material of a paperback book cover) and was able to staple 13 pieces together.I find that it's somewhat on the heavy side, but it's definitely a stapler to keep on a desk, and, I assume, in order to staple 25 pieces of paper together with the use of one finger, the weight is probably necessary.Loading the staples is different than with most other staples (see photos): you open the stapler like you would any other, the spring mechanism jumps out and you insert the staples upside-down. You push the spring mechanism back in, close the stapler and you're ready to go.I definitely recommend this stapler (or another version of this one, depending on your needs) to everyone. I'm relatively young and healthy, but I know this stapler would be great(!!) for people with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. Most definitely worth it! Only wish I had more need for it (although I do use it, but maybe once or twice a day).

Love this. Works through large stacks of paper with ease

I used a friend's inPOWER stapler on a bulletin board and it was LIFE CHANGING! It made my work so quick and easy! I was super impressed by the lack of jams, and wonky staples that I frequently get with my regular stapler, so I ordered my own. What I got was a stapler that worked some of the time, with the loading tray constantly popping open while I was using it, causing me to stop working and fix it. I even had to rig it with a rubber band, to help keep the tray from flying open. As if that wasn't annoying enough, every few staples, I would get a mess of 3 or 4 staples together with one sticking out of the bulletin board. I'm so aggravated with this stapler! It seems to work just fine as a regular stapler, but as a teacher, I am frequently stapling on bulletin boards. With the chaotic start to the school year, I missed the return date. Very disappointed.

I've not had this for long, but first impressions have been great. My only complaints are pertaining to the fact that loading it isn't very intuitive (see below) and the marketing images show different branding. The images show the Bostitch brand name on the side while the actual product has "paperpro" printed on it.LOADING INSTRUCTIONSNo instructions come with the device and it's not loaded the way most staplers are... To load staples into the stapler, you must open the stapler (from the bottom, not the top) 180deg, as if you were to staple something on the wall. A pusher will pop out, pull it back as far as it goes, then load the staples (upside down) in front of the pusher. Push the pusher back forwards until it clicks into place. Finally, fold the stapler back into it's closed position and it's then ready for use.

Lo uso en la oficina de manera cotidiana, y el producto es eficiente y eficaz, además el material es cómodo y duradero

Great stapler, no jams, it's metal so it's got some weight but the easy touch is great and easily does more than the stated capacity. The staples it comes with are on the bottom in the rubber part for those who couldn't find them, and loads effortlessly.

At work, I normally staple 8+ sheets together 10 times a day. Sometimes, these "packages" increase to 15+ sheets. In addition, I staple two sheets together perhaps 20 times a day. My hand starts to feel this, using a conventional stapler on a busy day.This stapler, while not exactly "one finger", makes it 20x less effort to staple and I had a big grin on my face every time I stapled the first few days after buying it. It seems almost ridiculous that an office tool would have such a big impact on my work, but it removed one minor annoyance.It's a must have if you do a lot of stapling or have hand/muscle issues. It's built solidly, so it should last a long time, but if the spring breaks one day, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.The only small issues is that it's easy to knock over when standing upright (so I leave it sitting normally on my desk) and it's quite loud (if that's an issue in a quiet office).

Really like this stapler. Takes very little force to fire the staple, but you need to make sure and apply good pressure all the way down to ensure staple ends clamp properly on back side of page.

Avec mon ancienne agrafeuse il fallait appuyer très fort pour que ça fonctionne. Je suis étonnée à chaque fois que j’utilise celle-ci à quel point c’est facile.
