This is a powerful office tool and should be on the top of every desktop. Being a technical professional, printed copies of larger documents are common. This stapler can handle the big jobs as well as staple just two pages neatly and securely. The staples hold tight, but are also easy to remove when needed to run a document through a copy machine. I own several which I bought used. They easily handle a 70 page document and can actually take on a few more pages than stated by the manufacturer. If you double side your copies, that's 140 printed pages that can be stapled on your desktop. I have one on my desk at home and one in the office and because this tool is so useful, I keep a spare just in case. The 5000 staple cartridge provides years of stapling convenience without having to refill. I've found only two negatives with this product -
1) They tend to be a bit loud
2) The internal trigger switch sometimes wears out
However, if the switch does go out, the unit can be refurbished under warranty or at a nominal cost, or if you can find the part online, it is replaceable if you are a bit handy with a screwdriver. I have found these units to be reliable and my problem experienced with the trigger switches may likely be due to the purchase of used equipment with unknown history. I would not let that be a deterrent and I give this product a high rating for quality, durability, and value.
