Swingline Stapler, 30 Sheet Capacity, 747 Business Stapler, Jam Free, Metal, Rio Red (74736)

I purchased this stapler because of the movie "Office Space." It has turned out to be the best stapler I've ever owned. It works flawlessly and is built to last.

I was very glad to find this stapler on sale. I prefer the staplers that allow a full stick of staples to be loaded, like this one. It functions well. I especially like that it is a full sized desk stapler. It is just easier to use than lighter weight, smaller staplers. The construction is nice and solid, allowing me to staple multiple pieces of paper together easily. There are very few if any misfires. I love the color, especially since the red was much less expensive than a classic black stapler. I will be using this for years.

It’s a heavy duty, classic Swingling desktop stapler, not plastic. Priced right. Quick shipping. Looks great. Milton would be proud.

Phenomenal heavy duty stapler.

This is the classic red Swingline stapler and it absolutely delivers. Build quality is solid, the stapling action is smooth and consistent, and it handles normal office use without any issues. No jamming, no misfires, just clean staples every time. The weight and feel are noticeably better than cheaper plastic staplers, and it stays put on the desk when you use it. The 30-sheet capacity is realistic for everyday paperwork, and it performs exactly as expected. On top of that, the design is iconic. It’s one of those small desk upgrades that actually makes you enjoy using it more.

This stapler is of the highest quality. I’ve tried it quite a few times on multiple sheets of paper and it staples them easily. It’s perfect for most jobs in the office and it’s just the right size and weight. Even Milton would like to own one of these.😂

Very strong, sturdy, metal stapler. Just like the old ones used to be. Definitely worth the money. Super cute color. It did not come with a starter pack of staples but that was my fault for not looking.

This is my second Swingline Stapler, same model. I threw the first one away. This one has done the same thing since the day I had it. Staples get stuck when stapling, they don't come out, you have to try to dig them out with anything you can find. You never seem to get the whole staple out, although it looks like you do, but when you go to try to staple again, another staple jams. They must be made in China now. They are a piece of crap; this model. I thought the one I threw away, same model, just had something wrong with it. This one has worked right 1 out of 10 times. NEVER buy this stapler. Once it's jammed several times, it never staples again. What a waste of money and the return window is over. The name "Jam Free" is a joke.

Origional

Like just about everyone else who bought this stapler, I got it because I love the film "Office Space," in which this item of stationery features prominently. And when I took it in to work so my co-workers (to whom I introduced said film) could get a kick out of it, I discovered it's actually a ruddy good stapler. Although it's designed to work best with Swingline's own staples, it works perfectly well with any standard 26/6 staples you may have lying about. Its smooth lines, cursive-font trademark and glossy, candy-apple red and chrome colour scheme make it look like a miniature 1950s car on your desk. The rounded edges make it comforable and easy to hold, and the extra-long arm gives you the kind of leverage to make stapling even a relatively thick stack of pages (say, 20 sheets, for example) nice and easy, with little effort. As mentioned, this product came about because of the cult comedy movie "Office Space." In order to make Milton's stapler stand out more in the film, the props department painted it red. The Swingline company then started to be hounded by people who wanted to order one of their red staplers . . . which they didn't actually make at the time. Eventually, demand was so great, Swingline caved in and now makes this special edition Rio Red stapler, "the star of any office space," as the blurb on the package claims. If you're buying it for a gag, for a present, or as a collectible, that's fine and dandy. But you'll also get a darned good stapler, too. It's so good, people may want to take it from you. And then you'll have to do something about that . . . . JUST OVER ONE YEAR ON: I've dropped this stapler a few times, including knocking it onto a bare concrete floor from a 3-foot-high countertop. It's been passed around my workplace whenever everyone else's cheap plastic staplers won't do the job, and after all that, it's only jammed once so far, and had a couple of tiny dings taken out of the enamel. Holding up well! JUST OVER TWO YEARS ON: Still going strong, but hinge squeaks a bit. Has only jammed thrice in two years. Still raises a smile with the colleagues. JUST OVER THREE YEARS ON: Still at it. Jammed once in the last year. Otherwise, still as good as ever. JUST OVER FOUR YEARS ON: Still going well, but found out that it has a tendency to jam if you don't use 26/6 staples. JUST OVER FIVE YEARS ON: It's jamming a bit more frequently, but then, my office-mates who get their grubby mitts on it think that all staplers should be bashed to make them work properly. When expected to do reasonable work and treated well, it still works well. SIX AND A HALF YEARS ON: I left my last job shortly after the last update and took my stapler with me, much to the regret of the rest of the staff. They loved to use "Big Red" just as much as I did, and even though they had their own company-supplied staplers (all of which were smaller, cheaper, and plastic), they would still come up to my cubicle for the sheer pleasure of easy, comfortable, satisfying, and ergonomic stapling. And, yes, it's still the best stapler I've ever used.

Es exactamente lo que describen y la calidad es bastante buena, pero... ¡ahora tengo miedo de que alguien me robe mi grapadora!

This thing is built like a tank. It's very hefty too - all metal. It's good to see something that is actually manufactured to last in today's "throwaway" society. I recommend it if you need to staple things and are also a fan of Office Space.

Im allowed to listen radio with reasonable volume. LOVE my swingline 😅
