Amazon Basics Effortless Heavy-Duty Stapler, 210 Sheets, Black

What can I say to any perspective buyer, well......it is big, very big, considerably larger that what I had expected a stapler to be, and especially for the price paid (great value), you get a lot of stapler for your money. This truly is the “Stud”, amongst staplers; forget anything you have seen in any high street shops, or supermarket. It measures around 14” in length and 10” in height, from base to the top of the stapler handle. It is the legendary John Curtis Holmes, of the stationery world (please see pictures). It is heavy, and seems well built. Instructions are basic, I initially had issues trying to get the staple carriage out, so that I could load the staples, it was only by chance that I pressed the orange button on the back of the handle (please see picture), for the carriage to slide out, this is not shown in the instructions. I am a casual user of the stapler, and usually staple no more than 25 sheets, on that rarest of occasions; the stapler is built for high volume paper (210 sheets), and I only staple between 2 and 14 sheets, using the larger staples supplied with the stapler, you get an “untidy finish” (please see pictures). I have had to use pliers to flatten the staples down, so beware, as they to stand up, and can cut, and be careful if you are posting, as they could damage the postal systems sorting machines (hefty repair bill). The good thing is, regular sized staples do work (please see pictures), I have tried them out, with no issues, and great finish, effortless! A quick summary; this is a great stapler, if you work in a small office, which deals with high volumes of paperwork, and do not have a dedicated lithographic/printing department, OR someone who likes, to go OTT with their stationery (as I do). I also own a large hole punch, so if size matters (it did to my ex wife), why not get it, you’ll stand out!! Pros: (i) Well made, should last a long time (hopefully). (ii) Can handle large volumes of paper (210 sheets) (iii) Interchangeable staples, so can use large or regular sized staples. Cons: (i) If stapling only a few pages, you will have to buy “regular sized staples (ii) Larger staplers are not readily available. (iii) May need a larger, strengthened desk (iv) You may find the “novelty wears off”, and you get a regular sized, hand-held stapler.

This really is a heavy duty stapler that works very well indeed. However it only comes with the largest staples the unit takes, it takes 3 sizes and absolutely no information on how to obtain further staples. An order code would be handy I asked RUFUS this question and the reply was : Rufus is generating a response... 'The product information does not provide details on purchasing other sizes or replacement staples for the stapler.'

This is a beast of a stapler. Seems strong on the face of it but not sure about the spring cap at the back as it look a bit weak. However, it function as it should and would staple like a beast!

Good stapler, worked well. Easy to load, effortless staple Quite big, but extremely sturdy and useful to staple large quantities of sheets

Absolutely brilliant. The quality is great. The price is a great deal. Staples came with it. Tried it out straight the way it does 210 no problem. Thankyou.

Absolute rubbish, does not work. By a different one. Staples with 2 staples at once and one upside down and bent. Now in the bin. Dire.

Works a treat.

Quite well built. Some of the buttons are a bit cheap feeling plastic. Biggest let down is NO INSTRUCTIONS.

Delivery was quick and the item arrived in good condition. I immediately used the stapler to staple a stack of 62 sheets for a user manual that I had printed. It worked very well and should work for a much thicker stack as well. The item was easy to load (with the included staples) and was easy to use. The appearance, size and power are all good.

Très bon achat que j'aurai du faire il y a longtemps. Je l'ai utilisée pour relier les nombreuses pages de documents importants (plus de 100 d'un coup), et elle a fait le travail en sifflotant tellement c'était facile pour elle. Puis je l'ai sollicitée pour attacher ensemble des cerclages en plastique utilisés pour serrer et envoyer des rouleaux de laine usagée vers leur dernière demeure. Travail tout aussi facile pour cette agrafeuse. Du matériel de qualité, qui peut utiliser plusieurs dimensions d'agrafes.

Purchased for my wife for her clinic, this stapler had the promise of robust performance. The objective? Make it easier to manage thick documents. Daily use of this stapler reveals impressive strength. An ability to staple more than 100 - 150 sheets effortlessly is unheard of! Its solid construction and ergonomic design clearly stand out. You feel the quality from the first use. Longevity seems assured, and each stapling is a success. Benefits: High stapling capacity. Ergonomics and ease of use. Robustness and durability. Disadvantages: Always use good quality staples. Do not overload above 150 sheets to avoid jamming. For professionals managing large files, it is the dream tool. Strong, reliable and powerful, this stapler from Amazon does not disappoint. A wise investment for increased efficiency in the office.

only comment is know only large staples are included, standard width i assume but if you just want to staple 2 sheets, not the tool
