Bostitch Office Impulse Heavy Duty Electric Stapler Value Pack, 45 Sheet Capacity, Includes 5,000 Staples & Staple Remover, No-Jam, Faster Stapling, Black

TLDR version: spend the extra bucks and buy this one for your office.Stapler received today, loaded it up and started stapling.Same noise level as Swingline 45 Pro stapler, and no different than any other mid-duty electric staplers I’ve owned in the past.I noticed that the two side staple storage trays people have mentioned in earlier reviews don’t exist anymore.Must be in a now collector’s prior version of this staple, and shown in the 6 year old YouTube video show ability to store 2 full staple refills inside the machine.Store trays are gone now, and inside the machine the plastic black housing is flat surfaced to prevent any stapes storing.OK by me as long the stapler doesn’t jam.I was hesitant to purchase this machine because of the “crown” staples that I thought were going to be a pain to keep separate refill box with these “special” staples.However, the crown design isn’t too high and left me pondering using them in a regular Swingline 747 stapler.Investigated and discovered crown staples are slightly narrower than plain ordinary 1/4″ staples and don’t fit in my Swingline 747 manual stapler. In fact, the crown ones fit snugly between the tines of ordinary staples. How’s that for TMI minutiae you didn’t know you you didn’t know :-)That means more staples to store.Oh well…One suggestion I have for the Bostich engineers in their next version update is to add capacity for 3/8″ staples to staple in the 60 to 70 page range. OR perhaps there’s already a secret link on Bostich website to order 3/8″ staples? I haven’t explored their website yet.Point of reference for Bostich staplers and me is the model B300HDS manual heavy duty stapler that I bought in 1978. It’s still working just dandy, almost beastly in its lasting 47 years stapling tax return sets.If this new B8 Impulse 45 works like my B300HDS, I’ll be using it when I’m 117 years old….As I wrote at the start of my review: buy this one for your office. It’s worth the price.
