Bostitch Office Impulse 20 Sheet Executive Electric Stapler – Heavy Duty, No-Jam, (20SUITE-BLK), Black/Silver

The media could not be loaded.I am not disappointed in this electric stapler at all. I have found it to be extremely and efficient, powerful, useful, and more. I am able to staple at least 20 sheets of regular letter-sized paper that I use in my inkjet printer, as shown.This is quite a bit larger than I had expected, yet I am thinking that there are a whole lot of people out there who would know what to expect. The scale compared with the size of the stapler should be apparent in the video I do hope. I am also thinking that I will be storing this stapler in my utility drawer in a clear jumbo-sized zip-lock freezer bag, rather than in my desk cubby where my manual stapler resides. My reasoning for this is that there is a loose part sitting atop (a nice staple remover), which meant to be easy to access. Yet, I do not want to have a loose part floating around somewhere.This silver staple remover is located at the rear of the silver cartridge release which opens the “drawer” for your row of “working” staples in the center, as well as your two rows of many “extra” staples on either side, to ready you for reams of use.Aside from the fact that the release button does allow you to pull open the magazine tray, you might find that you need to pull with a bit of a struggle. I am wondering if there is a safety reason for this. I am not the only user who has noticed this.If I had read the box in the first place, rather than relying on instructions, It would have been more apparent to me that the amber light displayed when the unit is plugged in is meant as an indication that the stapler is not ready to use yet. And that is very smart because the stapler will not be ready initially to use until you place your “working” staples into the center row, then making it easy for you to be ready for anything thin enough to make it into the slot where the stapler will lock down a staple.There is a feature which allows for you to steer clear of staple jams. I have not had any problems yet with potential problems. Also, there is quite a bit of suction at the bottom of this unit which is a very nice stability feature. If you do not wish to ruin the finish on your desk, you might want to plug this in somewhere else. Why not? I have wood flooring in my kitchen where my utility drawer is.This unit works very fast, and I recommend readying yourself for that “clamping down” sound. Another idea of mine is to remove the center row of “working” staples from the center row of the pull-out mechanism before your next staple job. This way the amber light will be on, and the stapler safely not ready to staple when plugged in.All and all I believe this is a great, attractive, professional 20-sheet electric stapler. The cord is fairly long, and it will also work on your countertop as shown.
