Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 15-year manufacturer guarantee
  • Sturdy metal build for longevity
  • Non-slip rubber base protects desk surfaces
  • Easy top-loading design for quick reloads
  • Includes 105 staples to start immediately

Cons

  • Half-strip capacity means fewer staples per load than full-strip models
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty stacks exceeding 25 sheets
  • Compact size may feel small for users with larger hands

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the stapler, press the top cap to lift the loading chamber and insert a strip of 24/6 or 26/6 staples. The unit is compatible with most standard office staples, provided they match these specific gauge sizes. To maintain the mechanism, avoid using staples that are deformed or damaged. While the metal construction is robust, the stapler should be kept in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. For optimal performance, ensure you do not exceed the 25-sheet capacity, as forcing larger stacks may cause jams or internal mechanism misalignment.
