Awful!January 27, 2006 Moroni Marten(Utah) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
As an educator, I often need a long reach stapler for booklets and binding writing activities. Unfortunately, our school district purchases these Stanley Bostitsh long reach staplers. What normally should be a fifteen minute stapling project turns into hours of tediously frustrating attempts to bind together even a few sheets of paper.
I would estimate that only 20-30% of the staples are successful. Most crush up and half-way stick in the papers which requires them to be pulled out and attempted again. Sometimes this happens over and over. I think the record for me is re-trying the same staple 17 times before successful. And we're not talking about 20 sheets of paper here, folks. It's six. Other times, the staple just never comes out at all -- just a noise. Other times, the staple gets stuck inside the stapler requiring it to be opened and removed.
Since our school has many of these and the ALL have the same problems and were purchased at different times, I would have to assume that it is just a very poor brand. Stapling together 28 writing booklets yesterday took over 60 minutes. As if I don't have any else better to do!
