Bostitch Office inHANCE Heavy Duty Stapler, 65-Sheet Capacity, Black/Silver

Review for: Accentra PaperPro 1210 65 Sheet StaplerOVERVIEW:-----------This stapler makes stapling roughly 20-60/65 sheets VERY EASY.You CANNOT USE THIS FOR SMALL SHEET STACKS as staples will pop right back up through the front (see below for tested minimum sheet counts). Thus, this can't replace the common desk stapler. Also, testing below shows the 5/16" staple flexibility is itself very limited and thus does not resolve this.The result has the staple END POINTS POINTING TO EACH OTHER, not all of the high capacity staplers do. It's a preference thing that you may or may not care about, both staple styles function well.Look wise it is small enough not to look out of place on a desktop, although it is certainly larger than the usual desktop stapler. It is a bit loud at all sheet counts, if you staple a lot those around you might prefer you do so elsewhere.VERSUS SWINGLINE OPTIMA 70 STAPLER:---------------------------------------Two high capacity 70ish sheet staplers:- The PaperPro STAPLES roughly 20-60/65 SHEETS well with 3/8" staples (see below). By comparison the Swingline Optima 70 STAPLES 2-68/70 SHEETS well with 3/8" staples. With the Swingline there is no need to guess if you have minimum sheet count to staple well.- The PaperPro staple end tips end up pointing at each other. The Swingline staple end tips end up parallel and diagonal to each other. It's a preference thing, they do the same thing either way.- The Swingline Optima 70 doesn't also allow standard 5/16" staples, the PaperPro does, though the value of that appears limited (See testing).- The Swingline Optima 70 is quieter with the smaller paper stacks, they sound around the same with the large stacks.- The Swingline Optima 70 is much bigger than the PaperPro in every dimension, I got used to it but certainly at first it seemed gigantic. If you have a smaller desk, you might be putting it elsewhere.HOW MANY SHEETS CAN ITSTAPLE CORRECTLY:--------------------------The manufacturer suggests/infers you can probably staple 10-65 sheets with 3/8" staples and 5-30 sheets with 5/16" standard staples. Let's check it out.Testing with 3/8" staples:- It staples 22-65 PAGES of 20# paper (common COPY paper weight) WITH 3/8" STAPLES. For 65-70 sheets the staple end tips angle up, but it holds. So we could say it does 70 sheets of 20#, but for a solid non-iffy stapling, it's 65 sheets.- It staples 19-60 PAGES of 24# paper (a common INK JET, LASER paper weight) WITH 3/8" STAPLES. For 60-65 sheets the staple end tips angle up, but it holds. So we could say it does 65 sheets of 24#, but for a solid non-iffy stapling, it's 60 sheets.Testing with 5/16" (standard) staples:- It staples 11-16 PAGES of 20# paper (common COPY paper weight) WITH 5/16" STAPLES correctly. Clearly, flexibility to use smaller 5/16" staples has limited usage.- It staples 7-23 PAGES of 24# paper (common INK JET, LASER paper weight) WITH 5/16" STAPLES correctly. Clearly, flexibility to use smaller 5/16" staples has limited usage.With smaller sheet counts than the bottom of the sheet count ranges noted above, the staples come back up through the front.Test Details: Used the staples that came with the stapler.NOTES:-------- 3/8" staples and standard 5/16" staples are the same length on the top bar, the difference is that 3/8" staples go through more sheets.However, as noted above, the nature of this stapler is such that a too small number of sheets won't work as the staples will come backup up through the front. Not surprisingly for the price this stapler doesn't cut the staple length to fit the sheet stack size.- If you are one of many having trouble loading this stapler, there are short you tube videos of HOW TO LOAD THIS STAPLER. It is very EASY once you figure out how, though, I assure you.- It comes with 500 3/8" staples and 500 5/16" standard staples.SUGGESTION:-------------- I suggest testing this stapler right away on 65 pages of 20# paper stock or 60 pages of 24# stock with 3/8" staples so you can exchange it easily if you need to.OTHER HIGH CAPACITY STAPLERS:----------------------------------  Swingline Optima 70 Reduced Effort Desktop Stapler, 70-Sheet Capacity, Jam Free, Silver, Retail Packaging (S7087875) -  Swingline 87845 Optima Desk Stapler, 40-Sheet Capacity, Silver/Orange/Black -  PaperPro 60-Sheet High-Capacity Stapler (1200)

The unit appears to be well built and does what is needed. Stapling a large volume of paper provided extremely good results. Using 3/8" staples.

the stapler is durable

I've had this piece of junk about 1 1/2 years. I have stapled LESS than ONE row of staples. This is important to know because this stapler always uses TWO staples every time the handle is depressed, and more when it jams. When the handle is depressed, it makes an extremely loud metal bang sound. So loud that I don't even want to be in the same room when this stapler is being used. This is no longer a problem because it stopped working...This is one very expensive stapler for the low number of staples that were actually introduced into a bit of paper.I'd like to recommend this product, but I can only recommend it be placed directly in the trash can which is where this piece of junk now resides.

Easy to use. Staples large amounts of paper together. Big help.

This stapler is well made and works great. The only thing I didn't like is it makes a very loud noise when you staple items together, however that is probably due to the strength it has to use to staple larger amounts of papers at one time. I do not usually have to staple more than 4 or 5 pages at a time.

I'm surprised to be writing such a great review for a stapler, but I'm really impressed. Occasionally I print out 20, 30, 40 page documents that my desktop stapler just isn't up to managing. This stapler handles those with ease. I'm surprised at how easy it is to staple--it actually takes less effort than my regular sturdy swingline desk stapler. It's about the same footprint as my sturdy office style desktop stapler, but it's about twice as tall. I wish I'd bought this 20 years ago!

Stapled 40 pages with ease. The staple is flattened as well on both sides of the papers. No bulge.If you need to remove a staple it will take some digging with a staple remover and a pair of pliers!The stapler makes a big loud click noise as it staples. THWACK!

Put this to work right away stapling my 50+ sheet income tax return no problem! Literally tested it with two fingers with ease and it just stapled the bundle of paper like a champ. Also it's very easy to load staples. Highly recommend!
