Leitz 5517 NeXXT Mini Stapler with 10 Sheet Capacity for No. 10 Staples - Blue

I have previously had Leitz products, and they have all been of decent quality. This isn’t, despite its’ low price.I have had it for two years during which time it has had extremely occasional and very light use. It has now fallen apart and an attempt to repair it with Araldite has failed.Unless one has a large supply of no. 10 staples, I suggest buying a mini stapler that takes 24/6 or 26/6 staples. If a no 10 stapler is essential look for a different make.

*Update: Still using this daily after 18 months..~Handy for storage as you only need a wee space to slot it in.~Has stapled reliably, no jams.Some complain it is light and made of plastic. Indeed, that is true.For a heavier, more robust feeling but cheaper stapler (with staple storage + taking cheaper No.56 staples), I'd recommend the  Rapesco Minno Half Strip Stapler - Black  which I keep if I have more than, say 5 pages to secure.Frequent reloading is the only slight annoyance with the Leitz so I've increased my star rating to 5.I've added pics showing the Leitz against the aforementioned Rapesco for comparison.Very tidy little stapler.Looks very nice in blue.Staples very well, securing 3 or 4 sheets tightly.Has handy and fuctional staple remover prong at the rear.However,Doesn't stand on its end as the foot sticks out too far, which is a shame. I much prefer to grab a stapler when it is stood up.And only takes a short strip of staples at a time (about an inch's worth). And for some reason the smaller staples cost a bit more than your common or garden 56 jobbies.Still, overall I like this very much and find 10 guage staples perfectly usable if not preferential for commercial office use (don't bulk-up the corners of stapled stacks of papers). Rapesco Minno Half Strip Stapler - Black

I bought the blue one for under four quid as an Add-On purchase, and at that price it was a bargain. Precise operation, generously sized product (much larger than an older No.10 stapler I own) and it feels pretty solid, although most of it is plastic. No misfeeds or jams on a test run, either, using some old Rexel No.10 staples. There's what looks like a basic staple remover sticking out at the back, too. Can't fault it at the price, but at the full tenner or eleven quid I'd maybe look around a bit. 5 stars for performance and value as an Add-On; 4 stars at full list price.

Fair price and it uses the little No. 10 staples. I had a very cheap old metal stapler for my No 10 staples, and it would often jam. Obviously this new one cost more than my cheap old one, but it seems to be very reliable since I started using it on delivery, a few days ago.

What I received is not the stapler that was advertised, but rather a cheaper version. I'm dissapointed.
