About Swingline Stapler, Optima 25, Full Size Desktop Stapler, 25 Sheet Capacity
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
82% praised the stapling capacity
This stapler requires little effort and can handle up to 25 sheets of 20 lb bond with reduced effort and half the force of traditional staplers to deliver consistent, accurate stapling. I no longer get bruises on my hand from using my old stapler.
81% found the staple loading easy
Despite its smaller size, I can hold a decent amount of staples, so I don't need to constantly reload it.
86% appreciated the quiet operation, however 14% found it noisy
The stapler is quiet and does not compress drastically after applying pressure. It is better than many other staplers I have encountered.
The stapler is quiet when used and fits perfectly in my hand.
This stapler requires a lot of pressure and makes a lot of noise when used, implying that it is not quiet or gentle.
83% appreciated the jam resistance, but 17% experienced jams
I have not experienced any jam for almost a year.
My experience with the desk-staplers is negative as they jam every few uses and the staples get caught up in the mechanisms, making it difficult to fix.
80% liked the ergonomic design
The stapler feels great in my hand due to its ergonomic design and weighs about a pound.
79% praised the durability
The desk stapler is made of plastic, but it feels sturdy and I can't imagine it breaking anytime soon.
After 2 months of use, the stapler feels sturdy and is holding up great.
The desk stapler is made of plastic, but I don't consider it a disadvantage as it feels sturdy and I can't imagine it breaking anytime soon.
81% were satisfied with the base stability
This stapler is heavier than standard staplers but very stable and will not slide across the table when stapling one-handed.
