| jiwhite's Full Review: Stanley Bostitch Deluxe Stapler, Black |
I've been using Stanley Bostitch stapler and staples for many years. With a smooth, squared design, the Stanley Bostich Deluxe Standard Stapler is appropriate for a professional office environment. Also, like the industrial tools Stanley Bostitch makes, their office tools get the job done reliably. While I've had Springline staplers give out on me, I've never worn out a Stanley Bostich stapler. I've seen this model recommended online (http://lawlibrary.ucdavis.edu/LAWLIB/april01/0059.html)for use in public libraries because the sturdy steel and plastic construction will hold up to the extreme use of a college library copy center.
Features
The Stanley Bostitch Deluxe Standard Stapler uses standard staples with a 1/4 inch leg for stapling up to 20 pages at a time. Inserting staples is easy because of the automatically retracting dasher that also reliably feeds the staples forward. The body and stapling mechanism is steel. The stapling mechanism has a window (staple supply indicator) so that you can see how many staples are left in the stapler. The clinger is adjustable so that you can choose to have the staples bend inward or outward. The pressure points of the top of the stapler and the base are plastic to protect both your hands and your desk. The stapler can be opened flat by pulling the stapling mechanism away from the base for stapling without the base, for example on vertical surfaces like bulletin boards.
Customer Service
I have never had any issues with my stapler that required the attention of the manufacturer. However, in researching the product for this review, I did try to find a manufacturer's website. The Stanley Bostitch website, http://www.stanleybostitch.com/, only covers their shop tools, not their office supplies. I emailed the company asking if there was a manufacturer's website for this product using the Customer Service email form. Although the answer was that they have no office supply websites, I was impressed that I received a reply within 24 hours and they offered to answer any other questions about the product that I might have.
Bottom Line
Overall, the Stanley Bostitch Deluxe Standard Stapler is an excellent value for general office stapling. You can expect the sturdy construction to give you reliable service for years to come.
