08-03-2026Tengo una engrapadora Rapid de uso pesado y junto a una engrapadora eléctrica Bostitch, son mis mejores engrapadoras, sin embargo ésta no se queda atrás y es la mejor engrapadora manual que he comprado de uso regular. Muy superior a esas engrapadoras de metal que se atascan y hay que estar golpeando para engrapar dos hojas.No la he usado al límite pero más de 20 hojas hay que tener cuidado que las patas de la grapa no queden paradas.La he usado para engrapar cartón y tela y se ha desempeñado muy bien, sólo cuidado con las patas de la grapa.El material es de plástico en su mayoría pero de buena calidad y creo que está construida con bastante calidad.He tenido malas experiencias con otras engrapadoras de la marca pero éste es un muy buen producto y creo que el precio es bastante atractivo.Seguramente te va a dar bastante tiempo de buen servicio.

08-03-2026Purchased this to replace an old, aging stapler that tended to jam up quite frequently. This has been a great addition to our home office. It's compact, which means that it won't hold as many staples as normal sized stapler, but can be tucked away a little more discreetly and takes up less space. It's small size also makes quite light, but the quality of the materials used and the overall design means it still feels solid in the hand. The easy staple mechanism on this works quite well too - I'm able to staple even large booklets together with ease. Hasn't jammed up on me either yet, and the staples come out clean and properly engaged. Overall very happy with this

08-03-2026This stapler works great! It's quiet, lightweight but sturdy, and small, and I've had no problems stapling several pages, although I didn't often exceed 5 or so at a time. I'm replacing it because a couple hard falls damaged the (sadly) plastic outside of the stapler. Would buy again.

08-03-2026The product has broken - some pin has come out. This is even before the first staple was used.

08-03-2026GREAT stapler. I bought a different one and it couldn’t even staple though 15 papers even though it was rated for 20. I tossed it and bought this one. It’s small-ish, which is nice because you set it on your desk vertically and grab it real quick with one hand. And this thing has a strong spring, it will click strong and smooth through 20-30 papers. Probably more. 11/10 life saver

08-03-2026Great little thing. Can easily use with one hand. Left or right hand. Only downside, doesn't hold a full sleeve of staples. If you have just a few staples left it jams.

08-03-2026The main thing I love about this is it lays the staples FLAT! No humps. I'll never use a different one! Stands up on my small desk not taking up much room, very durable and it'll staple a big bunch of papers very well.
