Such a cool looking stapler
First off, it’s redder than it shows in my photo (really beautiful). Nice, solid stapler with heft, and it looks like it belongs in an office. Works as it should, and I’m a happy customer. Shipped and received quickly. Thank you!

Excellent Stapler, and Milton-approved!
I got one of these for my wife for Christmas mostly as a joke because she’s been working from home ever since the whole lockdown thing started, and I thought it would brighten up her workspace.She had a crummy stapler, and we had bought her a new one to replace it at a local chain store a while back. And I hadn’t heard any complaints, so really the red Swingline was intended as a humorous gift.However, once she started using it, she thanked me profusely because as it turns out, the other new stapler we’d bought for her was not nearly as good. And unbeknownst to me, she disliked it and was having trouble with it. So this new red Swingline was not just a joke, it was a fantastic upgrade for her.The things that make this stapler functionally better than many staplers are:It’s easy to load. The top-loading mechanism is fast and sure. You don’t have to fumble with it.The stapling is positive and sure. It will staple through a thicker stack of sheets than many other staplers can handle.Lower force required to staple something.Smooth, well-shaped top that is comfortable for your hand when you want to really try stapling something thick!The surface of the plate that goes below the paper, and which intercepts the tips of the staples and directs them into the curved shape is very hard and smooth. And the shapes of the depressions that bend the staples over are well-designed.This seems like a trivial characteristic, but it’s vital. With the shapes of these indentations being “correct”, and the surface being very hard and smooth, the staples do not dig into the metal plate. Instead, they are smoothly deflected and then guided around to form the back of the finished staple.Staples need to have sharp points to penetrate the paper easily, but then those sharp points will try to dig into that bottom plate. So it is important that the points intersect with the depressions at an angle that causes them to glance off easily to begin the bending, and not try to dig into the metal. And of course, that surface must be extremely hard so that the points don’t dig in or cause the smooth surface to wear or erode.The result of this being well-designed and made of good materials is that the stapling process is much smoother, with less friction, and far less tendency for the staple to bend improperly and crumple rather than form a proper finished staple shape.This seems trivial, but it is not. This stapler staples easily through more sheets, and doesn’t cause the staples to fail the way a lower-quality stapler is prone to do. And it should last longer.So while the red Swingline is a humorous meme or icon, the fact is that this truly is a first-rate stapler.No wonder Milton did not want to give up his red Swingline!

Same great build-quality, but smooth (not matte) finish now
I bought this SwingLine stapler to replace a (20 year-old) one that disappeared from my desk. I was pleased that the build-quality (sturdy, metal feel), and all-metal parts are still in vogue at SwingLine. Be advised that the finish of the older staplers was mottled, or matte to prevent stapler slipping out of your hand. The newer staplers (of this model, anyway) have a notably more smooth finish, and no mottling or matte texture to the paint. Please consider this as ‘FYI only’ â I am still happy with the stapler: the finish doesn’t affect the great performance that the stapler delivers.

Beautiful
This sounds so stupid in a review for a stapler, but this thing is absolutely beautiful, and it has the sleek curves of a 1950s automobile.Yes I bought the red one because of Milton from Office Space, Milton was in my mind since we just got pounded by the hurricane. I fully understand why Milton coveted that stapler: it was the only bright spot in his corporate beige cubicle life.Oh and this thing is solid too.

I Believe You Have My Stapler: A Tool for Office Rebellion
Remember the iconic scene in Office Space where the protagonist, Peter Gibbons, fantasizes about destroying his company’s printer? Well, while I wouldn’t recommend taking such drastic measures, the Swingline 747 Business Stapler can certainly add a touch of rebellion to your office life.Not only is this stapler stylish and efficient, but it also offers a satisfying thwack when you staple those papers together. It’s like a small act of defiance against the monotony of the workday. So, while you might not be able to smash your printer to smithereens, you can at least enjoy the satisfying feeling of stapling with this sleek and powerful tool.
