Customer Review: Looks Can Be Deceiving
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this stapler because I wanted something dependable. It also looked very nice. The trouble started, however, upon the first staple jam. This stapler is basically solid state, so you cannot remove the head, or break it apart to remove jammed staples. The first time this happened, I spent 20 minutes with a pair of tweezers trying to pull out jammed staples. The stapler then worked nicely for a while longer. But then it jammed again. I spent another 30 minutes trying to get it unjammed.
This is a very expensive stapler, and yet it jams frequently and it is very hard to unjam. Stick with the $5 stapler at target.
Perhaps the jamming problem is due to the fact that the stapler only uses "pilot 400" staples. However, these kinds of staples are hard to find. All those standard staples you have laying around will need to be thrown away and replaced with "Pilot 400" staples.
If you must have this stapler, and have regular staples, use only a single stack of staples, don't put in a bunch of small broken up staple chunks into the loader, or it will jam. Keep your needle nose pliers handy as well, you will need them.
When it's working though, it works beautifully.
