I have been using these awesome little staplers for decades. I’m pretty sure I’ve had one of since college in the 80s! I have never had one break or fail. Just bought two more so I could have them handy instead of going to hunt another one down when I need it.
They easily staple up to 12 sheets of paper, and possibly more, and they take up so much less room on your desk or in a drawer than a standard stapler. I have a big desk stapler also, but keep it stored away in a cabinet and only really need to use it once or twice a year.
I was glad to see that the two new ones I just bought are almost identical to the old ones I’ve had forever. The mechanism doesn’t seem to have changed at all. The plastic body is a tiny bit narrower, but essentially the same design.
I was surprised to find that they have storage in the bottom for extra staples! You can fit two extra sets of staples in there, one facing the other, like they do in the box. I was even more surprised when I looked at my one of my old ones and found it has the same feature! I had just never noticed.
These little things are an incredible value. I paid about $3 for a black one, and about $6 for a purple one. Each came with 1000 staples. They will probably last the rest of my life. A rare high-quality item for a very reasonable price.
