coruscantElectric, Heavy Duty Automatic Stapler, 25 Sheet, Including 2000 Staples 1 Staple Remover, Desktop AC or Battery Powered for Professional Home Office Use, Black

I used a Swingline electric stapler in my home office for many years. It weighed at least 3 pounds and its electromagnet made a loud cah-chunk sound with every stapling. As it aged, the Swingline would jam at the end of staple "sticks" too and it was difficult to clear those jams.When that Swingline gave up the ghost about three months ago, I dreaded spending another $90 or $100 on its replacement. Then I found this ~$30 Coruscant stapler and it's been functioning perfectly since it came through my office door.The Coruscant is much quieter and lightweight; it easily pierces 10 to 15 sheets; and has an indicator light telling you when the staple supply has to be replenished. I've used the staples that were shipped with this unit as well as Swingline SF4 staples and both types have been trouble-free. I don't remember even one jam occurring in hundreds of uses.I'm impressed with this little device. It's low price makes it a reasonable purchase for general home use too. I cannot vouch that this stapler will work for years, but after three-months, it's doing great.I notice that some reviewers, about 10% of purchasers, have gotten staplers that didn't work well from the outset... that's what manufacturing engineers call the "infant mortality problem." Many inexpensive products like this stapler have similar quality control statistics. It's cheaper for the manufacturer to replace bad units than to refine the manufacturing process or re-engineer the device. When your stapler arrives, run 25 to 50 staples through it. If you get jams or erratic action right from the start, quickly ask for a replacement and the statistics imply you'll get satisfactory performance from the second sample.UPDATE December 2023: Stapler still working great after 22 months. Uses each stick of staples down to the last one. I can't remember any time when it has jammed. I've never used this in battery mode but as a plug-in, it's reliable and long-lived.

This is an update from a previous review. My TA found the adjustments on the side to move where the staples hit the paper. My kids love it now. I would purchase again. :)Previously: I bought this for my classroom. Don’t waste your money. You cannot control where the staple gets placed. The sensor will not allow you to put the staple in a sensible place.

Very easy to use this

I really like my gadget. I work in an office and remove and restaple packets all day, which really messes with my carpal tunnel syndrome. This is so much better (altho my co-workers had to get used to the swiffer spraying sound it makes).What I do not like is that I’ve purchased 24/6 and 26/6 staples and only one brand I’ve found actually works with the stapler and doesn’t cause jamming…and the boxes are small, expensive for what is in it, and only come half strip size. If I use 2 halves, the stapler jams when the first set runs out. Annoying.

Love that it’s battery operated yet powerful.

March 2024. The staples it came with worked great. After I used them up, this is when I started having problems. I tried every pack of staples I have at my business. None of them work correctly. They jam all the time and I've had to throw away 1/2" worth of staples because it jams more and more the shorter the staple stick gets. I tried keeping it loaded all the time, but that only lasted a few months.October 2024 Now the gears inside sound like they are either broken or stripped out and makes a very loud noise when it staples. It still "works", but every 5 staples, I have to open it up and unjam it. I would probably be happier if they sold the correct sized staples and/or used standard sizes. I'll have to pony up and purchase a legit Bostitch so I don't have to mess around with this thing any more.

Good stapler.

I bought this to keep on my desk for when I make my own copies for my classroom or build my own activity books. When the stapler works, it's awesome. However, it's super frustrating at times that it will staple 3-5 packets perfectly, then the next 2-3 get "stuck" and I have to eject the staples and redo. I've used it for approximately 300 staples (the staples that came with the stapler!) and haven't had a consistent cycle. I would love it to work more than it doesn't, but for now I'll use my hand stapler on a regular basis because even though it's annoying to have to pick it up each time, I know the staple will work. It was also sold as "25 sheets" but the tiny instruction pamphlet that comes with it says 20 sheets. It hasn't mattered whether I use 4 sheets or 15 sheets, it jams more than not. I'm hopeful I can figure out the magic touch because it would be a game changer when I have to staple 100 of my own tests.

Está funcionando perfecto

Bonita

Si lo requieres para grapar pocas hojas a la vez, no es la mejor opción.Ya que suelta de 1 a 3 grapas por uso y se queda la hoja atorada.Tengo que grapar una vez y abrir el contenedor de las grapas destrabarlo y así en cada uso.Si es para varias hojas (+ de 10) funciona mejor.No lo especifica, pero no funciona bien con todas las grapas... aún no encuentro las grapas adecuadas para un mejor desempeño.
