Swingline Electric Stapler, 20 Sheet Capacity, Portable, Full Strip, Plug In or Battery, Black (48200)

Perfect for the office, especially at schools and universities, this comes in handy when stapling dozens of assignments and other paperwork.

I work in a transmission shop and we do a lot of paperwork for each individual order. We process 15-20 orders a day on some days and some of these orders have upwards of 12-15 sheets in paper in them. This stapler has no problem stapling through all of these pages at once. The only complaint that I have is that you have to have the paper perfectly straight into it's "mouth" to get it to activate and apply the staple. But it still works really well. I don't know what we would do without it at this point. Hand staplers just weren't cutting it.-As a mom of 3 kids, I spend a lot of time shopping for deals on the best products out there for my family. It's important to me that if we're spending our hard earned money that we get a top notch product in return. I often rely on the reviews and opinions of others when contemplating purchasing a new product that I haven't tried before myself. Because of that, any products that I buy (whether on Amazon or from a 3rd party) I always make sure to leave a detailed review of the product to help others when selecting items to purchase, as well. My family tests these products fully before forming a solid opinion and writing a review. When I write a review, I keep in mind that those reading are also looking for honesty about the product and want an unbiased opinion to go by. If my review has been helpful to you, please give me a "Yes" vote on my review. Thank you!

I hate those explosive electric staplers. This one is a delight~ :DSuper Quiet... ssshhhhhhh!

Best automatic stapler! Staples very neatly and doesn’t make too much of a loud noise when stapling. My only complaint is that it does take a lot of batteries (6 AA batteries).

Updating this review. I thought it had died, but now am still using this product for the last 2-3 years. For the price, this is an exceptional stapler (if under twenty-five bucks)Known frustrations:RED LIGHT STAYS ON.Fix: I've had this for 3 years. The red light comes on randomly when staples are low. It will stay on even after you replace staples until you pop out one of the batteries and put it back in (after replenishing the staples). That's the fix.20 SHEETS (FALSE):All staplers all advertise about 20-25% more sheets than they really do (FYI). I use a lot of these brands. They base their sheet rating on thinner paper and when the device is at full power (in this case, new batteries).It actually does about 12 easily, 14 with occasional issues. I often print 10-14 page exams for 70 students at a time.DOESN't TAKE A FULL STRIP:Some of the new brands allow full strips, I just don't know their longevity. Still, the ones that do are more pricey...PROS:1) It rarely jams. It's easy to lug around. I had to write my name all over it in silver so the other instructors wouldn't keep it at their desk (It gets borrowed-out a lot).2) Easy loading, though it only takes about 3/4 of a full staple strip (standard staples). Kinda of a con on the 2nd part.3) It's very stable. Doesn't get knocked over when moving fast.RECOMMENDATIONS:There is no power-cord option, so... GET RECHARGEABLE batteries (AA). Get some good ones with 2500+ ohm. I just recharge after I staple 200-300 times. I never have delays.Remember the red-light fix or it will drain your batteries in a day.Hope this helps....USE GOOD AA RECHARGEABLES for this if it is your personal stapler.

very easy to use

I hate this stapler more than my idiot neighbor and my sore knee combined.This stapler doesn't work well at all. One has to move the corner of the paper in and out in order to get a staple to drive into the paper. Then, the staple arrives too far from the corner where one wants it. This is extremely flimsy, and feels like it would easily break, if it fell from the height of a standard desk. I suppose it is my fault for not checking to see if there is a way to manually drive a staple, as with other similar staplers. The capacity of staples is also much less than one would expect, given the size of the stapler.Mysteriously, the stapler started jamming each and every time, and then stopped working altogether, one day after my return window closed. This is a horrible product. Steer clear of it.

It's perfect! Very quiet. Easy to add staples. Very lightweight. I work in a place where stapling occurs all day every day. The sensor is good. The slide to lengthen or shorten the edge to staple area maneuvers easily but doesn't get knocked out of place with paper touching it. I think it is very good quality!

It is easy to load staples (and it takes standard staples so I didn't have to order heavy duty staples separately). It works efficiently to staple at least 20 papers together. It's $10-15 cheaper on Amazon than in stores so the value is great. The only down side was having to purchase the AA batteries separately. Otherwise, it's an excellent addition to my home office.

Muy util y rapida.

Works great

Once you've used an electric stapler - you won't go back to the original versions.

Very fast and positive stapling action. Easily goes through 16 sheets of 80gsm. It's not so happy with 20 sheets of 80 gsm but that is quite a lot of paper to staple. Great for basic home use. Simple packaging and delivered promptly.
