I have a feeling people who get jammed staples is because they didn't staple all the way through, like mentioned above. I have used both generic staples (though it's still Swingline branded) and premium SF.3 staples and I have no problem with either."
"The old one was softer touch but jammed; this is softer touch than traditional staplers."

"Swingline staples, staplers, whichever, are one of those things that I go to almost like a second nature kind of thing."
"Swingline SF 4 Premium Chisel Point Staples, 0.25 Inch Leg Length, 1 Box, 5,000 Staples per Box, Silver (S7035450). I've heard numerous recommendations for the Swingline SF4 staples. It makes the staples easier to dispense versus fumbling with a cardboard box that may spill out some of the staple racks."

"The second one I bought has lasted only a year and a half before refusing to staple unless one slightly depresses the ejector button."

Find Best Price at Amazon"After years of hole-punching for scripts (3-holes on the side) and legal docs (2 holes at top), now most work has switched to electronic "paper." I got this when I suddenly had to replace a reliable old solid metal 3-hole punch that finally wore out (after 30 years!). --Just partial metal construction - so far so good, but the rubbery plastic tray might get loose after a lot of use, and if just one of those screws breaks, then the whole puncher [haha, little pun there ;-p] won't work."
"But don’t worry, it works, and it doesn’t hurt if you use the bottom of your palm. The key is the spacing of the punches, but that’s easier said than done since they’re a bit shifty and don’t always like to line up perfectly."
"My last three hole punch was over 15 years old and somehow had developed a bit of rust making it impossible to use. I considered getting more expensive hole punches, but I only need it to punch notes for school and other small stacks of paper or card stock type paper."
"I only punch one sheet at a time so I cannot comment on effectiveness on punching multiple sheets."
"My biggest gripe with this hole punch is the number of times you can punch before you have to empty the "dot tray". Although older hole punches I've owned had quite a lot of dot storage, this one needs to be emptied quite frequently."
"It goes through a few pieces of paper with ease but if you put in 10 you really have to press it down hard. (I've noticed when it's closer to 10 pages you have to stand up to press the handle down instead of remaining in your chair) but if you use 8 or less sitting down is fine and it still works well."
"I realize the price is a bit more expensive than one you can buy at a store but I chose Swingline because I am familiar with the brand's reputation and It has so far lived up to its name."
"Major Con: The holes get punched very close to the edge of the paper."

It doesn't always hold the staple, yet is enough of the time to make me very happy to be able to remove staples and not having them fly off, to find on the desk or on the floor (which you find later when you vacuum)."
"This may seem silly to review a staple remover but here we are. I never thought I'd be leaving a review recommending folks buy a staple remover but these are silly times we live in, right?"
"The commissary bags came with a half million staples on them and while other officers elected to either use their handcuff keys or their fingernails, I decided to be intelligent and purchase one of these staple removers."
"Update 04/01/2015. Just got a current model of the Bostitch "Contemporary" (aka Easy) to replace this "Professional" (which I didn't like) and have discovered they (unfortunately) changed its design over the years and it's now got a narrow blade. Of the 3 staple removers, only my old "Contemporary" model can reliably remove the staples without severely obliterating data from the tissue paper thin receipts during the process of lifting the staple. This Bostitch "Professional" model 40000M-BLK rips paper much more than the standard Bostitch "Easy" model BOS40000. Well, 'the other plastic staple remover is called "Easy" at an Amazon product page but Bostitch actually calls it "Contemporary" at the Bostitch web site.. See bostitchoffice-dot-com and navigate to their staple removers. But, this Professional version definitely rips more paper compared to the Easy version. This Professional version has a narrower blade than the Easy. The wide blade on the Easy reached out farther towards the staple crimps so that the crimps were more effectively lifted from the pages while the wide blade stabilized the paper to shield it from a rip. I have finally realized that pulling a staple without ripping the paper is best accomplished when the puller blade width matches the width of the staple. This Professional version, however, has a narrower blade so that the paper is ripped when the staple is removed because there is not as much blade to hold the paper and shield it from rip forces. I think it is possible that people who rave about this Bostitch Professional version have used only claw-type staple removers in the past. So, what you are now reading might be one of very few, or maybe even the only review comparing the Bostitch Easy Staple Remover to the Bostitch Professional Staple Remover. It actually was easy when I had a Bostitch Easy model. I think I pulled staples for him by keeping my thumb on the staple to hold it in place on the staple remover."
"I don't like staples falling on the floor and picking them out of the carpet - this little widget looked intriguing and I bought it."
