Best heavy duty stapler!
5 Stars
Best heavy duty stapler!
This is the best stapler for thick paper bundles I have ever used. I have to staple fat stacks of paper at my work a lot. We have a few heavy duty ones at work including this one. The others were terrible. This one always worked great for me until we started putting in different (wrong?) staples in it. So I got my own to keep at my desk and note what staples came with it so I can make sure I always get those. Its been great so far!
