SwinglineStapler, Retro, Legacy #27, 20 Sheets, Green (S7089543)

It was a gift for my husband for work. It’s very heavy duty and seems like it will stand the test of time. He works around auto technicians and they all want to use it, but he inspects their hands first to make sure they aren’t dirty. Very happy with the quality and look of this fantastic stapler!

I love this stapler! It’s sturdy and retro. An excellent addition to my retro themed desk. Color is perfect too.

I bought this from Amazon in November 2019. It's November 2022 and it no longer works. The staples don't come out unless you open it and slide them back and forth, close it and staple. I use this maybe 5 staples a month, really low workload. It looks great; but as somebody else said here: Now I have a stapler prop to sit on my desk. Stupid that a Swingline is this poorly made. Very disappointed. Well, at least it only cost $15.99 when I bought it 3 years ago vs the $26.99 they are ripping you off these days. No reason to buy this for that kinda money. DUD!

My 4 stars is based on appearances only, as I have not had a chance to put it through the paces. It is a beautiful piece of art. I choose this model to fit my office motif of 1930s-40s era. Although this model originally was introduced in the early 50s, the art deco styling fits in well, and stands out among the common model 747. It is nice and beefy, as all major parts are made with heavy metal. I hope this is a good sign towards its durability. My only complaint is the available colors. The originals came out with a dark gun metal, or "school green". I would have preferred the gun metal, but its not an option. As such, I went with the green, as the red and blue was not true to history. With that said, the color is nice and rich and has a smooth finish, but not what I wish was available.

This isn’t a sentence I ever thought I’d write, but MAN this is a pretty stapler!! It also feels extremely durable, staples with very little force, and seems like it’ll last me forever. It reminds me of the heavy metal staplers from my mom’s classroom growing up (although they were an ugly brown/beige color. Lol!) and those things are still around. Very happy with this purchase & so very glad I didn’t waste my time/money on a cheaper plastic alternative.

The reviews for this stapler are everywhere & not helpful at all so I thought I would post an objective & practical review in hopes that it'll help others make their decision. (1.) The stapler is made out of some type of metal. The Swingline emblem is the only piece of plastic on the stapler & is rather durable unless you plan on hammering something in the wall or throwing it at a co-worker, which I recommend against doing. (2.) The stapler weights over 1lb which is the average weight of most desk staplers. Not sure why anyone would want more. (3.) The stapler channel loads 210 standard staples. This is huge for me because i hate having little pieces of staples floating around because it didn't fit in the chamber. (4.) No staples have gotten jammed in my stapler. There really isn't an instruction manual on how to staple sheets of paper. I lift the stapler, place the barrel where I want the staple to be & do one firm squeeze with one hand. If I didn't squeeze hard enough for the staple to press in I tend to move the stapler so the staple that misfired can move out of the way before I do another firm squeeze. This seems to keep all of my staplers from jamming. (5.) The green color reminds me of the old avocado green refrigerator my parents had when I was little. So am loving this color. i really wanted the red one. I didn't expect it to be cherry red, but one reviewer said it was pink which I'm now pretty sure is a blatant exaggeration. Either way it made me purchase shy. I may buy the red one for my home office... That's only if I can justify having 3 staplers at home... LOLAll in all, I love this stapler!

This stapler is true to the color shown. Super fun and durable!!!

It works great and it’s so heavy if anybody ever attacks me at work I can take them out with this.

I wanted a vintage look staplerThis was it!!!! Quality product. Buy the best staples for it. I did. Worth every penny!!!!! I imagine this will go on for decades. Sturdy and very handsome lol

Dieser Hefter aus den USA ist ein Schmuckstück auf dem Schreibtisch. Extrem robust und praktisch in der Handhabung. Ich empfehle trotz des hohen Preises dieses Exemplar. Der Versand aus den USA hat auch prima geklappt. Kaufempfehlung meinerseits...

That's how a stapler should work. Smooth, good weight and just works!

Garbage

Love this stapler . It is a quality one that I enjoy using .
