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

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 to help make homecoming garters and mums. Exactly what was needed. Already had the staples. Make sure you purchase correct staples for item. Jammed maybe twice in 2 weeks of make 4 mums/garters. Great quality. So glad I made this purchase.

I frequently staple 30 or 40 packets of paperwork from between 4 to 40 sheets daily and the stapler supplied by my company was trash. It would work for about a day before either breaking or jamming up. I decided that I needed something more heavy duty to complete my work and decided to grab this stapler from Amazon Warehouse Deals for $18. This stapler has more than delivered on durability and effectiveness. It has not failed me once since I started using it several days ago. It is true that you need special B8 PowerCrown staples, but despite all the griping on here, I was able to get them at a Staples B&M without an issue. I find the complaint about the plastic end piece to be hilarious though. I saw what people had wrote and was slightly worried that I had purchased a ticking time bomb of a stapler, BUT there is nothing to worry about. This piece is not placed under any stress and does nothing but hold the staple guide in place. I personally do not see where it could possibly break under normal use. Purchase this item with confidence because it is a quality piece of equipment.

Haven't used the stapler yet but please note it does not come with any staples so you'll need to obtain some prior to using. I ordered the exact kind specified on the box which is not a standard staple. The stapler looks to be very sturdy and well made. Shame on me for not realizing it didn't come with any staples.

I wanted a stapler that I could pass down to my children, I thought this name brand $22 stapler was going to be that, and it is not. the top and bottom is plastic and like the cheap kind. Also more importantly the clip on the back where you load the staples is not only the cheap kind of plastic but also the thin kind. Upon my first press to load the stapler I was like, damn. This is going to break on me someday. Also this thing takes b8 staples. Definitely not a common staple. totally bought the wrong box of staples and I feel like that should be clearly marked on the image. So far I have stapled about 100 times with it and yes it works, but no this was not what I was hoping for. If I drop this thing, its gonna break. Im expecting the loading mechanism in the back to break soon too. I really thought there would be more to this for the price, but alas I suppose this is the place we are in humanity. All things are made worse and with cheaper materials than things just 15 years ago.

So far so good. Smooth as silk compared to the many Swingline staplers I've used. Truly effortless stapling. I just hope this one lasts longer than the Swingline brand. My only issue is that this stapler is marketed to staple 45 sheets of paper. I just tried 44 and even though the staples (the ones that are recommended for this model) went through, they barely reached the other side of the 44 sheets because they're too short That said, this stapler is very smooth and I'll use it for up to about 30-35 sheets and use my heavier duty stapler for more than that.

'Having used a plier type stapler at a number of jobs, we really wanted one for home use, but never could find any in stores. When we did find similar ones online, none fit the job, that is, if any worked at all. After several failures with online purchases, we tried the 'Bostitch Office B8 Extreme Duty 45' and are glad we did. This one ticks all the boxes: the right size, easy to load, and has performed well. We highly recommend the Bostitch B8.

cheap and good to use in mulitple place

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

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

I love it - it's a no nonsense rough tough and handy tool

Nous l’avons acheté pour le resto avec tout les take-out et livraison une bonne brocheuse était rendue nécessaire. Elle est très facile à broché . Belle achat.
