Swingline 747 Business Desktop Stapler 30 Sheets Rio Red - Full Size Staplers

I first purchased this stapler in 2017 and it is STILL working to this day. Extremely reliable and durable. I work in a classroom, and it has put up with hundreds of teenagers using it recklessly. I liked it so much, I decided to purchase another one last year. Unfortunately, IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STAPLER. The quality has gone down. The original has a metal plate with the name on top, whereas the new version has the name printed directly on top. Swingline should not call it the same thing. The new stapler jammed within the first week of use. I don't use it anymore because it keeps jamming! The one from 2017 is still going strong. There are subtle differences in the constructions, but these differences are significant. I hope Swingline is more transparent about these changes and gives the product a completely new name, as it's essentially a different product. Also -- the product image might not match the product given. If you receive one with the metal nameplate, then you've received a quality stapler. If you receive the one with the printed name, it probably won't last long. Swingline -- please go back to the original construction!

It's already destroyed, unfortunately. 2-3 weeks in my students broke it without extreme use. I hoped this was tough, but it jammed, then the spring broke, top came separated, ugh. It looked snazz in chrome, but R.I.P.

I purchased the product - this particular product - because it has become iconic and to serve as a reminder that work can be harsh. On the other hand I have also used your metal staplers all my life and support the product in its original form.

I just got the stapler. I only used it a few times but it was very impressed with the smooth operation.

If you use Swingline sf4 premium staples, as you suggest, the stapler works. If you don't, it jams. A PROMINENT NOTICE TO THIS EFFECT WOULD PROBABLY RAISE YOUR PRODUCT RATINGS1
