5Rock Solid Stapler with Epic StylingAug 18, 2009
By A. Bush "mechanical engineer"
As an undergraduate engineering student, I use staplers with great frequency. Just about every homework assignment I do, which are quite numerous, requires one or two staples to hold together its multiple pages. Consequently, a stapler that doesn't jam, staple loosely, or snag paper is essential, especially during the typical last-minute rush.

I had a decent, low-end Swingline stapler originally, but some fellow in my dorm decided to use it on heavy cardboard or plywood or some such, and it bent the guidance tab. Although I "fixed" the stapler to some extent, it was never the same. So, I decided to replace it with another cheap plastic stapler. This one was so bad that I actually threw it across the room at one point.

Finally, I noticed the Swingline 747 in our engineering computer lab, and knew that I had to have one. Its solid metal frame allowed it to cleanly staple upwards of 20 sheets without a single flaw. When I saw this chrome model, I bought it immediately.

I have not been disappointed. The stapler has a wonderful smooth, effortless action that allows you to affix large bundles of paper (think--20 pages or so) with ease and a pleasant click. There's no need to put it on the desk and beat it with your fist, or do the double-handed death grip. Just put the papers in and push gently or clasp in your hand. The balanced device will do the work for you. And talk about styling...the regular 747 is all business, sharp angles and factory black finish. But this chrome model is all about flair. Other students in my class often ask each other to borrow a stapler before turning in homework. Once I displayed this baby, no matter how bulky it is, I'm always the one who gets asked now. My biggest problem is keeping it stocked up with staples!

One note: Like any stapler, and this is reasonable, tiny little broken-off lengths of staples, with 5-10 attached staples, don't work well. The powerful loading spring inside the top of the stapler tends to cause these to buckle up, if you put two of them in line with each other. Try to keep your staple stock to a reasonable length. Otherwise, this thing rocks!

4Beautiful and functional but a fingerprint MAGNET.Jul 14, 2009
By R. P. Andrews
The thing is weighty and substantial feeling in the hand. I have no question as to its quality, durability or performance; I am certain my expectations will be met or exceeded.

And there is its aesthetic beauty - this stapler is practically a work of art on your desk with its smooth, rounded lines, retro design and highly polished chrome... reminds me of a beautifully maintained classic car.

But with that highly-polished, mirror-like chrome finish comes its only disadvantage and the reason for my four (as opposed to five) star rating, and something I should have anticipated. Any time you pick it up to use it, it will be left covered with VERY visible smudges and fingerprints. There is just no way around it. I find myself wiping it down with my shirt after every use, and then handling it by the edges when putting it back down. But, that is a minor gripe from an admitted perfectionist.

Otherwise, great product!

5A stapler worth bragging aboutFeb 14, 2009
By Nathan Beauchamp "ConsumerAdvocate"
Staplers are an unglamorous tool that most of us take for granted. Aside from the Red Stapler of OFFICE SPACE fame, most people never think about their trusty work companions. Not so with this amazing polished chrome stapler from Swingline. Like the sleek 747 airplane from which it draws its name, this isn't just a tool. It's a statement.

If you want to attract attention and start conversations, get yourself one of these babies. You may be surprised at your new found popularity within the office. You can expect to get compliments, questions, and even a raise. After all, someone with a stapler this cool clearly is worth the money, right?!? Just beware the jealous and appraising looks of coworkers and keep a close eye on this bad boy or it might just disappear from your desk...

5Staple meApr 03, 2009
By Hankk
I've had a pair of cheaper, but full-size, Stanley/Bostitch staplers on my desque for much of the last two decades. This one staples better than those did. It doesn't jam, it's easier to press, and it holds more staples. It'll fasten 20 pages with one hand if you want it to.

Why does it staple better than the cheap ones? If you open it up and examine it, there's a second and very tight metal spring below the rail where you load the staples. I don't know what it does, but other manufacturers don't use this. Swingline's stapler engineers probably patented this part back in the 1950's and no one else has yet copied it.

I don't really care that it was featured in Office Space; I paid a few extra bucks to avoid the hipster red one. (Perhaps I'm buying into Swingline's big scheme here?) But nevertheless: twenty bucks for a lifetime of stapling pleasure makes me a happy man.
