Swingline® Smoothgrip Desktop Staplers; Blue

Comments about Swingline� Smoothgrip Desktop Staplers; Blue:

The staples DO NOT close. I bought 2 to start with. After complaining to Swinglne they replaced them and they didn't work either. Makes a good paperweight.

Very hard to press and think it clicks down very hard and jams up all the time. Would not recommend this to anyone

Comments about Swingline� Smoothgrip Desktop Staplers; Blue:

It doesn't actually work. Won't staple more than a few pages well, and won't staple more than ten pages at all.
Very disappointed in this purchase. It says it staples 20 pages, not even close.

I try to use this stapler for even small uses, but it jams almost everytime, and I waste several mintues each time to open the top and get the staple out. It doesn't even staple cleanly through 10 sheets of paper, much less 20.

I have had this stapler for about 5 months. Since the first use it has had trouble closing the staple with more than 5 sheets of paper. If you are using this for only a couple pages it works great. I have to close the staple myself if there are more pages (if the staple even goes through). 90% of the time when stapling more than 7 pages it won't go through the pages.

Nice looking stapler, when stapling more than 6 sheets the stapler doesn't close the staple in the back so I have to bend it myself. This is kind of a pain. I did expect this from a cheaper stapler but having the Swingline name I did expect a little more.

I bought 3 staplers to try out (some from another office supply store). Out of the 3, this one was the best. I returned one that was 3 times the cost of this one because it required much more effort to use (even though it was one of the 2-finger touch models).

I was looking for 4 things in a stapler:
1) easy to operate with little effort required (I have arthritis in fingers & wrist)
2) jam-free
3) consistent stapling with neat, closed staples
4) small in overall size (due to limited desktop space)

I did not expect much out of this low-priced stapler but bought because the grip felt so comfortable in my hand - I love the "Soft Grip" material. I couldn't believe, when I got it home and tried it, how well it worked. It requires so little effort to squeeze that, at first, I thought it hadn't even gone through the paper.

I have had for about 3 months now, use several times a week, and have never had one jam or one unclosed staple – no malfunctions whatsoever.

I also like that it will stand upright without falling over. I store mine in a desk caddy, and it fits nicely (the widest part of this stapler is 2¼ inches).

I should have gone out and bought a new stapler years ago, instead of putting up with the annoying one I had been using -- was constantly jamming & rarely stapled correctly through more than 2 sheets of paper.

In reading the reviews from people who say it didn't work, I would suggest that you take it back and exchange it – it may just be a lemon.

Completely worthless stapler. Bought to replace a stapler that jammed once in awhile. This one jams every 2nd or 3rd job. The staples don't close all the way and there is always a huge space between the metal and paper. Definitely can't handle 20 pages. I can't fathom how there are any good reviews for this product.
