Rapesco R81000A3 Porpoise Classic Stapling Plier, 45 Sheet Capacity, Uses Type 26 Standard (1/4" and 5/16") and Type 24 High-Capacity (1/4" and 5/16") Staples, All Metal, Chrome

Works 2 months before it started misaligning itself and falling apart. Terrible build quality.

This is a well made plier stapler for home and office use. I ordered the Rapesco 24/8 staples and it was able to easily staple through 30 pages of glossy advertisement flier. I folded it over and it still stapled through 60 pages easily. Staple protrusion on the back side of the 60 pages was enough to hold the 60 pages together but I'd say 60 pages is probably the absolute limit depending on the page thickness for the 8mm staples. This stapler easily staples through 50 pages of paper as advertised.The Rapesco staples used were 24/8 - 24 gauge wire with 8mm leg height. I ordered 24/6 staples as well but it hasn't arrived yet. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the staple wire. The staple leg height is 0.316" which is 8mm high. The staple crown width is 0.500".I measured the Rapesco staples against the Bostich Powercrown 6mm staples for gauge wire thickness comparison:* Rapesco (24/8) 24 gauge - wire thickness - 0.280"* Bostitch (26/6) 26 gauge - wire thickness - 0.210"Advantages of this Rapesco Plier Stapler:* Excellent construction* Smooth operation* High leverage for ease of use stapling through 60 pages* Rear loading of the staples magazine is easy and fast* Rear magazine loading allows for changing to different sizes (leg height) of staples easily* Crimp plate can rotate 180° to allow the staple legs to be folded inwards or outwardsHighly recommended!

I love this product , I use to have one when I worked in the armored car business and wanted one for a few years and now I am so happy I have this again ,

Excellent quality apparent construction and operation. Stapler arrived in an attract zippered nylon carrying case. Upon removal, I was pleasantly surprised with the bright chromed finish, heavy construction, ease of loading and operation of stapler. One caveat. As advertised, this stapler is capable of attaching numerous sheets of paper. The box of staples included with this order are obviously designed for that purpose and are approximately 1/8 inch longer than standard Swingline desk staples. However, when attaching only one or two sheets of paper, the longer staples tend to bind. This problem is easily fixed by installing standard desk staples which then operate very well. Item highly recommended.

Husband needed this for a special project. Arrived well packaged. He found it was comfortable to use and easy to load wih staples. No jamming was experienced.

Awesome stapler that goes through a wad of paper with ease.

Good

Bien, grapadora pesada, dura....grapa muy bien....aunque no la he probado con muchos folios, 40 o 50, para eso cambiaré a unas grapas más grandes y espero no tener problemas....menos folios sí he grapado y va muy bien....Supergrapadora...

A great buy! I became sick of my standard desk stapler not working properly and invested in one of these on a Black Friday deal. I am so very glad I did. It's much stronger and will staple more sheets together. Also, the stronger staples don't bend and break like the previous ones.

This is hands-down the best stapler I have ever used or owned. I've worked several jobs and owned numerous school staplers. Before this I would wrestle with my supposedly good quality name brand stapler that ate more staples than it ever punched through paper. I was working on making a large stack of handout packets and about lost my mind.Is it too much to ask that a stapler simply staple the paper properly every single time? We have sent a rover to Mars - how is it possible we have not perfected the common household stapler?In my frustration I jumped on Amazon, scoured the reviews and had this bad boy shipped to my house. (I love Prime 2 day shipping!) When this arrived I tested it out. It tackled the few handout pages easily, like it was stapling air. I folded a sheet of paper into fourths and rapid-fired staples as quickly as I could. It didn't jam. I stapled over existing staples. It didn't catch, snag or fail in any way. It just kept stapling like it should! FINALLY! I have found stapling bliss! (And my old stapler has gotten to know the local GoodWill).If you are a student, in college, just starting out, working in an office, have a home office or simply have hands and you're about ready to throw your malfunctioning stapler out into the street, make a small investment in your sanity and order this wonderful tool that will forever after properly attend to all of your stapling needs!Update March 2015: I've owned this stapler for almost a year and it is still working flawlessly. NEVER has it mis-stapled, hung up or caused me any problems. The only problem I do have is that I have to horde it like a psycho, hiding it from my friends who discover it provides the smoothest, most dreamy stapling they have ever experienced. I had to write my name on it HUGE in Sharpie and the thing is daily at risk of kidnapping. Yeah, it's just that good!

Best thing I ever purchase, Save me a lot of time.Thank You....

Buena

This is a great stapler. The only thing I don't love is that it doesn't staple in very deep (about 3 inches), or open up like most desktop staplers. I had wanted to use it in more crafts, but it is really best just for paper.
