Bostitch Office B8 Xtreme Duty 45 Sheet Plier Stapler, Black (B8HDP)

This wasn’t my second brand I tried for this type of stapler. I was looking for something easy on the hands and strong enough to use for upholstery work which I’m new at I’ve used arrow products I bought the P 22 the silver one with the specialized staples and it was a disaster every other staple jam stuck won’t go through. Checked online YouTube other comments looked for jam material took it apart lubricated did everything. I heard even placed a phone call to their customer service who then forward you to technical support that nobody answers. So I decided to buy this bus stitch B8 extreme duty, pliers, stapler. I remember the name as always being around in the staplers. And it said it was real easy to use for the hands also. Was delivered overnight with its matched staple type, which I didn’t mind cause they were reasonably priced pulled it out of. It’s easy to open packaging. looked brand new, with excellent quality. Loaded up a full roll of staples went over to a couple pieces of material. I need to staple together right away. It worked real easy probably have the strength needed compared to the arrow P 22 to get a clean staple and right away from the first one till I put it down perfect staple no jam through about four layers of material very comfortable in the hand, lightweight and easy to staple things together. It’s unfortunate but these days you’re gonna have to buy the leaders of each product because everybody else the reason they’re not the leaders is because they’re cutting cost and lowering standards. I think if you buy the best you’re gonna be safe so thank you to Bostitch for keeping the quality high!

This is a good stapler for on the job work especially when you staple a lot of papers

I've never paid much attention to staplers until I had a need to staple multiple thick stacks of paper. That was when I realized most staplers will only go through 20 sheets of paper. I purchased this with a box of B8 1/4" staples, because it claims to be able to staple 30 sheets of normal paper. I don't know how they do it, but it really works. It goes through 30 sheets of normal copier paper effortlessly with the 1/4" staples. I haven't tried 45 sheets since I don't have the 3/8" staples. Note that you must use the PowerCrown B8 staples, either 1/4" or 3/8". Some of the reviewers don't seem to be aware of this, which explains the low rating. All parts of this stapler is sturdy, with one exception - the spring-loaded clip holding in the staples. It feels flimsy and is held in place by two plastic tabs. That is the only part that I'm worried about breaking. Be careful when removing the clip if it is almost fully loaded. Since the spring is under tension, if you don't hold on to it tightly, the clip can go flying across the room. Stapling a stack of paper one-handed is effortless if you have medium sized hands (or larger, obviously). No more pounding on a desk stapler hoping to drive the staples all the way through. There are two small holes near the front of the stapler, allowing you to tell whether there are any staples left, and what type you have loaded. Packaging says it can be used as a tacker, but I haven't figured out how to unhinge it. (see Krankshaft's comment below on how to accomplish this. Thanks, Krankshaft.) One last thing, not related to its performance as a stapler. The packaging looks like the clam shell hard plastic type guaranteed to draw blood when opening, but it is actually held together by friction tabs that opens easily. Altogether, a very nice stapler with that one flaw in design I mentioned.

Stapler seems to be great but make sure you buy the right staples for it. It doesn’t take standard staples.

I wanted a stapler that I could pass down to my children, I thought this name brand $22 stapler was going to be that, and it is not. the top and bottom is plastic and like the cheap kind. Also more importantly the clip on the back where you load the staples is not only the cheap kind of plastic but also the thin kind. Upon my first press to load the stapler I was like, damn. This is going to break on me someday. Also this thing takes b8 staples. Definitely not a common staple. totally bought the wrong box of staples and I feel like that should be clearly marked on the image. So far I have stapled about 100 times with it and yes it works, but no this was not what I was hoping for. If I drop this thing, its gonna break. Im expecting the loading mechanism in the back to break soon too. I really thought there would be more to this for the price, but alas I suppose this is the place we are in humanity. All things are made worse and with cheaper materials than things just 15 years ago.

Overall this is a nice stapler and I'm happy with it. The only downside is that the loading clip is plastic on the end rather than metal so care is needed to prevent breakage. This stapler also requires specific staples that can be ordered from Amazon or found at office supply stores. Regular flat top staples do not fit.

Best stapler ever!

Haven't used the stapler yet but please note it does not come with any staples so you'll need to obtain some prior to using. I ordered the exact kind specified on the box which is not a standard staple. The stapler looks to be very sturdy and well made. Shame on me for not realizing it didn't come with any staples.

I use this stapler to fasten tanned deer hides together for smoking 2 at a time. Very strong even around neck where hides are thickest. Recommended

Excelente grapadora, la compré hace unos meses y no he dejado de usarla, la uso diario (100 grapadas al día).

Used for marine covers fabrication to hold panels together whilst fitting. Really pleased with the performance, easy to use and refill. Highly recommended.

I love it - it's a no nonsense rough tough and handy tool

Solo hay q tener cuidado en el tamaño de grapa. Todo lo demas esta muy bien
