Bostitch Office No-Jam Booklet Stapler, 20 Sheets, No-Jam Technology, Black (B440SB)

Exactly what I needed. Worked perfectly for stapling some zines together for my table top game nights. The stapler part seems fairly standard. The base is heavy duty and should stand up to quite a bit of punishment.

Used right away to staple 225 booklets (5 page folded legal paper) without issue. Used standard sized staples that I had on hand. I ordered this because where I work, I always jam that one. So, didn’t jam this one! The booklet curls over. Since it’s heavy duty, it has some weight. It doesn’t NOT easily slip off a temporary table. Since the copier’s stapler was broken 15 weeks, this was less than printing 225 booklets 5 pages at a print shop/package delivery place that also has printing. So, it was a very good value for the money, and the stapler is what usually breaks on our copier. So, I am sure that i will use again.

The Bostitch Office Booklet Stapler is perfect for mini comics, zines, and stapling short-run specialty covers. It reaches deep enough to handle folded pages cleanly, creating tight, professional-looking booklets. True to its name, it rarely jams and feels sturdy in hand. The staples are standard and easy to replace, in fact you can buy bulk packs on Amazon and be set probably for years depending on how many issues you're selling. –Nathyn Brendan Masters Night Phoenix Press

It blows me away how perfectly this stapler is designed and built. My first project was 5 sheets of 28 lb. letter-sized paper folded in half to make a 20-page booklet; adjust your expectations accordingly. I ordered the recommended staples but ended up using a cheap no-name product we had on hand because they were just a tad shorter and looked better. I had no mis-fires; my technique is to line up and give it a whack rather than a polite push. The gadget is well made. The metal is plenty strong - no sense of flimsy - and the stapler itself opens 180 degrees (and stays open) to fill. There are appropriate anti-slip pads where they need to be. Centering the staple exactly at the fold turned out to be fairly easy. The folded booklet nestles nicely on the ridge and comes close to no-brainer perfect alignment but if you want perfection spread your positioning hand over the booklet, pushing away from the ridge with fingers on one side, thumb on the other, and feel the booklet snug into place. If you're aligning your paper with the edge of the stand to place the staple a reasonable distance from the edge, you can also glance at the "peak" of your booklet relative to the peak of the stapler's ridge. If you don't do that you'll generally be dead on or within a staple-thickess off. A plus for storage between uses - it's more compact that it looked in the picture (and Amazon's stated product dimensions are often meaningless) - but it comes in a re-usable box that's about 5x5x12 or so.

A great stapler for my needs. I'm not stapling anything terribly thick, but its perfect for booklets/zines/etc. A great price, doesn't take up too much space.

Like some people who bought this "saddle stapler", I initially had great difficulty getting it to staple properly. When I made the purchase of the stapler itself, I also ordered a box of the recommended Bostitch staples. Just wanted to be ABSOLUTELY SURE that I had the correct staples to use in it. Well, what "torture" I went through trying to get this device to staple small booklets I was attempting to assemble. The staples had to only go through a cover and eight pages of regular 20 lb. paper. It just would not work and jammed repeatedly, although the staples did actually fit into the stapler. On a hunch, I decided to try other staples I had in the house. Found some old "Stanley-Bostitch" staples that were laying around and they worked so much better! Having said that though, I only had found enough to do 50% of the current job. At this time, I noticed that the "Model #s" of the two kinds of staples were different. To make the blame thing of some benefit to me, I decided to search all over my city for the old type of staples. Six major retailers later, I could not locate 'em. Finally decided to do a search on the internet to see if I could find a supplier of the "OLD" staples I had on hand (that worked). I did find such a supplier and ordered a supply of 20,000 - hoping & praying that these would actually work in this saddle stapler when they arrived. They were delivered here yesterday by courier, and lo and behold, they do indeed work quite well. The moral of this story is that you MUST have the exact, specific staple in order for this machine to work. DO NOT depend on the advice of the manufacturer as it pertains to which staple to use. Both the staple that works (Model # SBS19 1/4CP) and the one that doesn't work (Model # SB35 1/4 - 5M) are made by Bostitch (sometimes referred to as STANLEY BOSTITCH). Just as an aside, the "1/4" refers to the length of the staple leg and I believe that the 1/4" size is the length you should always purchase for this stapler. The "CP" refers to a type of staple called a "Chisel Point". The chisel point style of staple penetrates the paper better and I always try to buy this type when purchasing staples. In a certain sense, it was just a fluke that I discovered how to make this saddle stapler work half decently. No thanks to the ding-dongs at Bostitch!

So easy to use and well made.

Got this for making zines that are booklet style. Works like a CHARM! No issues with catching staples or jams and it manages to get through the amount of pages I usually have for zines with no issues (about 10 pages max).

Excelente produto . Chegou no prazo combinado.

Dit is gewoon een perfecte en multifuntione nieter!

Good strong stapler. Works very well and is perfect for stabling spines on booklets. Decent size, sturdy in use and not at all flimsy. Good value for money. I am using rapesco 26/6mm staples in it with no issues

This is so easy to use compared to my long-arm stapler I could cry. It's always accurate and doesn't crush the staples. Makes my life so much easier, knowing I can print and trim my zines with confidence and not have to cross my fingers and toes hoping that the stapler won't ruin all that work by stapling the page inmstead of in the fold (I'm looking at you, terrible long-arm stapler).

Le systeme est tres bien pensé. Ideal pour aggrapher des livrets de n'importe quel format.
