MAX USA CORP. HD-50DFGY Flat-Clinch Standard Stapler, 30 Sheet Capacity, Gray

Best stapler in my office.

In my opinion Max Stapler Japan is The Best in The World. I like these, I love these. I have several of different sizes. This time I bought on line from Amazon and I am fully satisfied with its quality and even its look. Thanks Amazon for making these available for me. Regards : Amarjeet Singh

Mixed revi0ew. This is my second purchase. The first broke after about six months of relatively heavy use, and I had a good bet invested in the staples (they are far more expensive than regular staples) so I decided to take a chance and buy another one. I won't buy more staples for this until my supply is depleted and this one proves to be durable. That said, it is very easy to use. You don't have to slam your hand on the stapler like I did on my older regular stapler. It really magnifies your effort. The flat clinch staples are truly nicer than standard staples. My wife is a teacher and it is nice that after using this stapler the packets lay pretty much flat. I use it to close paper and mylar coin 2x2's and I used to have to use pliers to flatten the backs of staples so they wouldn't scratch other coins in stacks and boxes. That isn't necessary with this stapler. If this one is more durable than the last it is a five star.

2ND UPDATE - Going on 2 years of daily use, and I'm so pleased with this stapler :) I visited a client's office last week, and used their Swingline stapler for a day. I was so frustrated...so many smashed staples...didn't matter if it was two pages or 30 pages...never used a staple remover so many times in the recent past :( I went back this week, and took this stapler with me. No problems! What a time-saving little contraption! Love it, and it uses regular standard staples, too. UPDATE - So it's been about a year now, and this stapler is still working well with daily use! When I visit other offices and need to use their staplers (Swingline, Bostich, etc.) there's no comparison to the Max Clinch. I'm throughly satisfied with its performance! ORIGINAL - I've been using this stapler daily for the last 5 months, and am pleased with its performance. I was looking for a flat-clinch stapler for a long time, and originally bought a Stanley Bostitch EZ Squeeze. It didn't staple well, and I even purchased the Bostitch brand staples. Returned that one after 2-weeks, then bought this Max Flat-Clinch. What a huge difference! I'm picky about the staplers I use because I like my papers stapled together neatly and securely. I find that this stapler does a good job whether it's just a few sheets or a stack of invoices. No more loose staples with papers sliding around. No more half-smashed staples with only one side going completely through all the sheets. I can't even recall having to re-staple something because of a stapler malfunction. Just a great everyday stapler!

I particularly like this type of stapler because it is flat cinch (meaning once an item is stapled, the back side of the staple lies flat against the paper, takes up less space because it's not humped up and doesn't catch on other items), and because the stapler has a very smooth stapling action. I have several of these in different work areas around my home & office and they are a life saver to my hands because it doesn't take a lot of effort to staple and because the flat cinch of stapled items is safer.
