Bostitch Office B8 Xtreme Duty 45 Sheet Plier Stapler, Black (B8HDP)

bought a 3 pack of these staplers, it's 5 days after my 30day return window closed and 2 of them are useless. the only thing that I like about them is the easy of loading. Its not that they jam up, they just stop working. I still haven't opened the 3rd. do not buy

Excelente grapadora, la compré hace unos meses y no he dejado de usarla, la uso diario (100 grapadas al día).

J'en achète pour le resto dans lequel je travaille. Mon patron en a fait commander pour autres pour les autres restaurants. Alors elles sont super robustes et fonctionnent à merveille

I've never paid much attention to staplers until I had a need to staple multiple thick stacks of paper. That was when I realized most staplers will only go through 20 sheets of paper. I purchased this with a box of B8 1/4" staples, because it claims to be able to staple 30 sheets of normal paper. I don't know how they do it, but it really works. It goes through 30 sheets of normal copier paper effortlessly with the 1/4" staples. I haven't tried 45 sheets since I don't have the 3/8" staples. Note that you must use the PowerCrown B8 staples, either 1/4" or 3/8". Some of the reviewers don't seem to be aware of this, which explains the low rating. All parts of this stapler is sturdy, with one exception - the spring-loaded clip holding in the staples. It feels flimsy and is held in place by two plastic tabs. That is the only part that I'm worried about breaking. Be careful when removing the clip if it is almost fully loaded. Since the spring is under tension, if you don't hold on to it tightly, the clip can go flying across the room. Stapling a stack of paper one-handed is effortless if you have medium sized hands (or larger, obviously). No more pounding on a desk stapler hoping to drive the staples all the way through. There are two small holes near the front of the stapler, allowing you to tell whether there are any staples left, and what type you have loaded. Packaging says it can be used as a tacker, but I haven't figured out how to unhinge it. (see Krankshaft's comment below on how to accomplish this. Thanks, Krankshaft.) One last thing, not related to its performance as a stapler. The packaging looks like the clam shell hard plastic type guaranteed to draw blood when opening, but it is actually held together by friction tabs that opens easily. Altogether, a very nice stapler with that one flaw in design I mentioned.

Used for marine covers fabrication to hold panels together whilst fitting. Really pleased with the performance, easy to use and refill. Highly recommended.
