Swingline Stapler, 20 Sheet Capacity, 545 Desktop Stapler, Black (54501)

Stanley is always the top of the line in staplers!

My nephew, the last baby in his generation, is going off to college this fall to major in science and technology. We are all so proud of him, but he was having a hard time coming up with all of the items on his supply list and I wanted to help him out, so I purchased this Standard Stapler from seller, Swingline. Swingline is a brand that is well known and trusted, and I wanted to get him a quality stapler that would last for many years and one that would be easy to find staple replacements - of course, this takes standard size staples. This stapler can staple as many as 15 sheets of paper, which is less than the usual college paper. This is also an eco-friendly stapler that is made from 50% recycled material which is really cool, and the arm swings open for posting items to bulletin boards and such. This modern design stapler holds a full strip of 210 staples and has a full rubber base so it stays put when you use it. I know that my nephew is going to use this several times every day, and I also know that with proper care this stapler will last for years to come. I’m so happy to have this to give to him. I hope this review helps to better inform your purchasing decision. Thanks for reading.

For the price, I am very impressed with this stapler so far. It does not have a great deal of weight to it, so I was a little worried at first that it would not work very well. To my surprise it not only lives up to what it claims, but actually performs a lot better than its description. I tested the sheet count first using 15 sheets of regular copy paper which it claims to be able to staple, and I had no trouble. Then I even added 5 more sheets and tried again. Even with 20 sheets total it was able to staple without much difficulty. I will say that there were a couple of times that the staple bent and did not work correctly, but this was while I was holding the stapler in the air. After setting it on the desk and trying that way it worked perfectly. I have not tested this on a bulletin board while it is open, but I doubt it will be problem for this stapler. For the price, its performance is outstanding and I highly recommend this product!

I had a swingline stapler that was considered ergonomic before this one, but it broke very easily. This one though, is very durable and easy to use. I recommend this particular version highly.

Despite the well-known name, this stapler is just okay. Not comfortable in hand, material is thin and not a one staple. But it’s a stapler.

I got this stapler to replace an earlier one that decided to stop working. It fits nicely into a drawer in the small shelf/stand, atop of which sits my computer/monitor.

I love a good baby pink, but this stapler is more of a pale lilac. I know, not a huge deal, but still disappointed.

Very good product well designed
