OK, I bought this stapler a little over two years ago - 27 months, to be exact. I bought it after we obtained one at work. I thought it was so good that I came home and ordered one for my wife - a kindergarten teacher who does a surprising amount of stapling. Now for the review ... The unit at work is used a lot, by several people, and has been replaced twice. It is difficult to describe the failure mode, but each time the unit just became unreliable and bent a lot of staples. Now for my wife's unit. She brought it home from school (her work) complaining that it was not working. The failure this time is that the lever - the thing that goes down and delivers the staples - is not returning to its full upright position. I have just contacted Swingline to find out if it may be covered by warranty. The unit at work was, so I am hopeful. I don't wish to be too negative here. The stapler, before failure, worked great, although it is quite loud. It is quite "authoritative" in its delivery. But I would buy another. Read more

This stapler is a piece of GARBAGE. I bought it for work and maybe staple 40 items a day and well after 2 months of use a piece broke on the inside and it stopped stapling. I tried to fix it and that’s when I discovered the broken piece. Now the thing won’t close and is useless. This is the second one I purchased too. The first one jammed and I was unable to open it. Contacted the manufacturer and they said they cannot fix it. I couldn’t even tear it apart myself to try and get it unjammed. I will be returning this, something that retails for over $150 in the stores should last more than 1 month. Read more

Other than the stapler being very loud when using, it's a great product! Read more
