Buying PaperPro 1100 Desk Top Stapler

Over All Rating Reviews :

I'm an office manager for a large printing company. We use staplers here constantly and I used to order the PaperPro exclusively due to their ease of use. The first time you use this stapler you'll swear off conventional staplers...yeah, they are that good. I stopped ordering them, however, because the quality has been so inconsistent with these staplers. Personally I still have one and it's almost 2 years old and still works great. There are 3 or 4 others left in the building as well but the remainder of them are long gone. I stopped ordering them when they started breaking before they were even a month old. The final two I ordered lasted less than 3 days before they jammed. Unlike a conventional stapler, once they do jam there's no taking them apart to try and fix them, unless they fly apart on their own which a couple of them have done. When that happens there's no putting them back together...remember Humpty Dumpty? It's a shame, I love my stapler because like every other review here, I agree that it's incredibly easy to use. One reviewer said it best: these are disposable staplers and if you can live with that you'll love it. You may have to buy a few before you get one that will last more than a few weeks but once you do it will most likely last as long as mine has. It will be the best stapler you have ever owned...until it breaks which may be in a week or it may be in a couple years. As an office manager ordering supplies, I can't take that gamble. I now buy the Stanley Bostitch B3000. It stands upright or flat and is made of good old fashioned metal with rubber grips for comfort. It will staple through about 25 sheets of paper and is tough as nails. After trying about 5 different types of staplers we now have about 6 of the B3000s in the building and not once have any of them jammed or broken.
