Bostitch Office Booklet Stapler - One Finger, No Effort, Spring Powered, Long Reach Stapler - Silver (1610)

Works great so far for stapling booklets and it actually is a surprisingly light touch to use it.

So very easy to use. Finger touch soft and very efficient. Value for money.

The media could not be loaded. This is the third time purchasing this product. Unfortunately, several years ago my first one broke because a student helper used it without me knowing and pulled it the wrong way. So store it somewhere safe and out of reach because others will be intrigued by this stapler! I purchased another one and several years later, I stored it at the end of a school year and when I returned, I forgot where I stored it! So store it someplace safe AND where you will remember. I purchased it again recently because it’s the best I’ve used. My school had some others that are cheaper but they do not work as good as this one. I had to push really hard with one and another kept malfunctioning and I had to keep pulling out the crooked and broken staples, problems I’ve never had with this one. I decided to just buy another one. I love making booklets and reusable flip books as references for my students. My most recent flip book consisted of 4 laminated cardstock papers and this stapler EASILY stapled them. This is the only long reach stapler I would buy!

Bought this stapler to create my own little zines and books at home. It does the job well. I’ve only used it for stapling together books with regular 8.5 x 11 paper so far. It’s pretty easy to use.The only negative I have is the little sliding stopper on the stapler for adjusting the width of the book doesn’t lock in place so if you’re aligning the papers and push a little it will shift the position. Just something to look out for when stapling for precision.

It truly is a feather touch stapler for putting booklets together. I'd give it five stars but, there's always a but, for small two or three page booklets the force is so great the staple goes right thru!I wish there was a way to reduce the force, but that would probably be another $25 or so per stapler and than no one would buy them.Love Bostitch, make great products. Thank you for creating this stapler.

Just received the stapler this morning and made 15 books with it. It worked great, never jammed once! It took very little pressure to go through the 13 sheets of paper I was stapling. The one thing I did notice was the guide to spot the paper where you wanted it would move. I corrected that problem by clipping a binder clip to the stapler rail behind the guide. That kept the guide from sliding further back.

I love this stapler. It has a great power boosting mechanism and you can staple through 12 pages with literally one finger. It has an adjustment feature so you staple right in the middle of an 8.5x11 booklet, perfectly.

Our office personnel recently began to create program booklets for the variety of celebrations that we are involved in. We thought we were safe in purchasing the Stanley Bostitch AntiJam Long Reach Standard Stapler, 20 Sheet Capacity (B440LR) to bind these together; however, we ran into a brick wall (actually, it was literally a paper wall) when we neared and got to the stated 20 Sheet capacity (or less than that while using card-stock) that is stated in its product description. Both standard and chisel-point Stanley Bostitch Premium Standard Staples, 1/4 Inch Silver, 5,000 per box (SBS191/4CP) staples seemed to just crumble rather than penetrate these piles of paper. Success rates did not vary according to the amount of force used in stapling.We decided not to return or retire the Bostitch, but rather leave it for those less demanding jobs that we know are certain to appear. A little more research (the "more" I probably should have initially done), led us to purchasing the PaperPro 1610. The product description says, "80% easier to use than standard long reach stapler" (which in this case is the Bostitch). I would say it's at least 100% easier. It does the job with standard staples with the touch of ONE FINGER as advertised. This was obvious from the first booklet stapled. It is so effective; you would think it was electric.
