About Bostitch Office B8 Xtreme Duty 45 Sheet Plier Stapler, Black
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
69% liked the adjustable staple length, while 31% found it limited
The stapler is not as heavy duty as expected and requires longer staples of the same gauge as standard staples.
I have personally experienced that the stapler marketed to staple 45 sheets of paper barely reaches the other side even with 44 sheets.
79% appreciated its durable construction, but 21% found it broke easily
I have doubts about the product's longevity.
On the first use, the stapler broke apart and the pieces flew away. Upon examining it, I realized that the anchors supporting the upper portion of the lever were plastic hooks/pins. A stronger material or redesign of that small portion is needed.
74% found it easy to staple with minimal effort, while 26% had difficulty loading staples
I had to borrow my coworker's stapler because mine would always bend the staples and not penetrate fully.
75% praised for its jam-resistant design, but 25% experienced frequent jams
The stapler jammed once while refilling staples and is not jam-free.
I faced a jam that took hours to clear, indicating that the stapler may not be jam-resistant.
I saw other people having the same issue with the stapler, indicating that it is not jam-resistant.
I tried to remove the staplers that got stuck inside, but it was unsuccessful and now it's useless.
81% appreciated its versatility in staple types, while 19% found it limited
The stapler ticks all the boxes - it's the right size, easy to load, and has performed well.
The stapler requires a specific crown staple which is not always available. It also has a plastic knob for changing out staples.
69% praised for its high stapling capacity, while 31% found it jammed frequently
I frequently staple 30 or 40 packets of paperwork with 4 to 40 sheets daily and the company-supplied stapler is not good enough.
