Bostitch Office B8 Heavy Duty All Metal 45 Sheet Plier Stapler, 210 Stapler Capacity, Full-Strip, Black

I first saw this stapler at the pharmacy where lady stapled about four sheets of paper with the ease of squeezing a tube of toothpaste. I had to have one since I do quite a bit of stapling. It is a joy to use and I do not think I could overload it. I did make one mistake; when ordering staples I bought 35,000 staples. I have purchased a lifetime supply.

very solid for heavy use, I liked it.

Works great. Use it daily.

Great product. Makes stapling things easy without a lot of strength

Would give 0 stars if I could. It is super hard to load, once we finally figured out how to load staples, we realized that it doesn't use normal staples, so we had to go buy special staples for it. Once we got the special staples in, it doesn't even staple well. The ends of the staples stick out like little daggers. I bought this to make exercise packets for my elderly patients, but I can't give them packets with sharp staples sticking out of them. Worst stapler ever

I bought this plier style bostich stapler to replace another (smaller version) I had used for many years and never had a problem with. First thing to note, it DOES NOT USE standard staples. You need the crown type staples. That in and of itself is annoying and the reason I took a star off. When I got my first order, there were no directions in the box. Went to the internet to find instructions, realized I didn't have the correct staples and then had to go buy some. Once the staples were in hand, I went back to loading the stapler. It does not load in the typical fashion. You have to pull up and back on the black load bar, and squeeze the plier handles together so the top comes up, drop the staple cartridge in through the top, let the handles go and push the black load bar back to cover the staples up. No matter what, the cartridge would not properly load. The load bar was difficult to pull back, and though it was pulled back as far as it would go, the cartridge would not completely fit and kept breaking apart. Even the smaller pieces would not load correctly. But, I am not a quitter! I know I am intelligent enough to load a stapler! I kept at it. I watched several (very) short clips of people effortlessly loading their staplers. What was I doing wrong?!? After about 30 minutes I admitted defeat and initiated a return. For funsies, I decided to go the 'replace with same item' route. I really needed to know if it was defective or I was getting too old to load a stapler. The replacement came quickly. I slowly opened the box, fully prepared to be aggravated once again. But, what's this? Instructions! I read them to be sure I wasn't missing anything (I wasn't) and then gingerly pulled the loading bar up, then cautiously pulled it back, and to my amazement and delight it effortlessly pulled completely back and out. Without any trouble, I dropped in a full staple cartridge, and glided the load bar back, covering the staple cartridge snugly. I grabbed some paper, and held my breath for the moment of truth. I. Stapled. The. Paper! I was 100% vindicated. I CAN load a stapler.So, do yourself a favor. I do endorse this product, annoying a design though it is. Get yourself crown staples if you buy it and if at first you don't succeed in loading it, return it and get another because you probably got the one I returned. Happy stapling!

I love this stapler, mainly for ONE reason. If you need to staple something where you want the staple in exactly the right place this allows very precise placement. I have a regular stapler and using it to staple something exactly where I wanted it was difficult because the base of the stapler is hard to get in just the right position. This stapler fixes that issue and is worth the price just for that alone. It is also a well built quality item with staples widely available so should be the last stapler I ever buy. If for some reason it gets lost or stolen I would buy another instantly. The only negative is they do not give you any staples at all so be aware you need to purchase staples separately. It seems they should at least give you one strip of staples loaded in the stapler but nope, you have to buy a new box before you can use this. But if you know in advance you can order the staples along with the stapler.
