Bostitch Office InPower Spring-Powered Desktop Stapler, 20 Sheet Capacity, One Finger Stapling, Includes 210 Staples, Jam Free, Opens for Tacking, Green

Bostitch bought out PaperPro and began putting out their version of the original PaperPro staplers but with not as good build quality. The originals were made of durable metal and rubber grip and felt POWERFUL - because they were. I could staple into some insanely hard surfaces with my old PaperPro. Sadly that stapler belonged to my old place of work and I could not take it with me. I needed to furnish my own stapler at my new job so I of course went looking for a PaperPro - which is when I learned the story of what became of them. Saving money was a big issue at the time so I didn't go buy an original PaperPro off eBay or anything and just bought this stapler here from Amazon. So why am I giving this stapler the full 5 stars? Because it's still WAY better than any regular stapler around. Other people at work needing a stapler who are in the know come ask to use MY stapler over all others. It really works that well. The funny thing is it is mostly being used to staple things into walls, including into plywood. This is where it's noticeably weaker than the old PaperPro - particularly because this stapler is mostly light plastic and doesn't have the same weight behind the staple. The reason it still works BETTER than regular staplers is because of where the force is coming from. Most standard desktop staplers have the force coming from you pressing directly down on the stapler. This stapler, in contrast, has some sort of spring setup inside that, with very little pressure, staples. So if you're stapling into a wooden surface (as I've oddly had to do a LOT at both jobs - and yes, with thin, easier-to-remove staples rather than big, industrial staples) you only have to make sure the stapler stays flush on the wall and the spring lever does the work for you. TL;DR - is incredibly smooth and powerful; will easily staple into wood.

This stapler is a God send if you have arthritis or other debilitating conditions in your hands. So easy to use. I like the color too! Decent value for the money. It holds a whole row of staples at a time. It has a built-in staple puller and is very light weight.

I bought this stapler to replace the one that my classroom bulletin board killed. For reasons that mankind was not meant to know, my bulletin board is made of solid wood. Staples and staplers are sent to my bulletin board to test their mettle, and countless have returned broken, jammed, and (on one occasion) flung across the room at velocity. My bulletin board has become my white whale--a source of lasting injury and frustration, periodically forcing its way into my life to cause more devastation. But no longer. This stapler looked my wooden bulletin board in the eye and stapled every last piece of back to school paper nonsense into that hateful piece of wood. Best of all, it took minimal physical effort on my part to staple the papers up, which is good because I have tendonitis in both hands/wrists. This is a very good stapler.

I love the way it works. There is a very satisfying spring action that reliably gets through the entire stack papers. As it is made mostly of plastic, it feels slightly less sturdy than a comparable metal stapler. There is a little bit of play, but not so much that it would interfere with normal use. The description of the item says it comes with 210 staples, but at first glance there were none in the box or pre loaded in the chamber. After looking a bit closer, I found a storage compartment under the base of the stapler that was holding one stick of staples. I hope this helps those who thought they didn't get the included staples (I was one of those people at first).

These used to be great staplers. My old one recently broke. The spring that helps push the staples forward fell out. I'd used it for a year or so, so I replaced it. The replacement lasted less than month. The top part you push on to make it staple just flops now. It used to feel like a spring or some other mechanism would engage so there was some resistance when pushing. That resistance is what made it staple. When it worked, I liked that it used a full row of staples, had a spot to store a spare row, it can be used to hang paper on bulletin boards, and it doesn't need a lot of pressure to staple, so your hand doesn't start to hurt. I don't like that this one broke so quickly and there is no way to access parts inside to fix them without breaking it. It is too expensive to have it work for less than a month.

Does not include staples. Still good tho.

So easy to staple with!! Love it!!

Excellent stapler, easy to drive in staples

We had an older stapler that worked great, BUT we also kind of had to “get on it” to drive a staple. This one here fixed all that. Seriously great for older or “less strong” people. Works great. I have staples, with ease, 12 pages at once without an issue.

Love this stapler, best one I've ever owned. Been using it over 4 months. No jams and you don't need to put all your muscles into getting things stapled.

Finally! A stapler that staplers without complications. I threw my last couple of jamming disasters in the bin out of frustration but this stapler seems to be in love with me. It behaves. It works. Its great. Loading staples is very easy and it (at last!) takes a full strip of staples leaving no small broken-off bits in the box that no one wants to use. It has a compartment underneath to store two spare strips of staples and comes supplied with a strip in this compartment. I could not figure out what Bostich’s advertisements mean by a “fold out stapler remover” because it seems fixed in position to me. This stapler is a great piece of trouble free mechanical engineering that came in a beautiful pea-green colour. Thank you Bostich.

Excellent stapler that you barely need to press to make work. The only confusing thing was figuring out how to reload - the staples go in upside down! Got it for some co-workers for their station and it’s a hit!

I was disappointed that there was no staples in the package, all I got was a stapler withno staples. I thought that the 2100 fastners where staples.
