Swingline’s TouchSmart Stapler [Review]

I am a self-claimed aficionado of neat toys and gadgets… and that stretches into the wonderful realm of office supplies. Pens, notepads, staplers, etc… surround us in our day to day lives, and I love love LOVE discovering new products that’ll brighten my desk and make my work day just a bit easier.

With that said, Shoplet.com, one of my go-to sites for office supplies sent me the Swingline Smart Touch Stapler and S.F. 4 Premium staples to review.

The Swingline Smart Touch Stapler is a sleek and stylish stapler that’ll make your desk look sleek and stylish, too. It’s a HUGE improvement from the clunky staplers of yore, and it’s definitely made from sturdy material that’ll last. I’ve had several staplers before. One was remarkably heavy and ugly and another was mostly made of cheap plastic and barely stapled.  The Swingline TouchSmart is none of this. The TouchSmart feels sturdy, looks great, and works like a dream.

Swingline TouchSmart features:

• Takes 50% LESS effort to staple
• Ergonomic design
• 25-sheet capacity
• Quiet & Smooth operation
• Sleek Design

I am uber-impressed with the operation of the TouchSmart. It takes little to no effort to staple 25 sheets. (Shhhh… I’m pretty sure I cheated once or twice and stapled more than 25 sheets.) It only requires you to apply a little pressure which is very very VERY different from my old stapler that required me to apply xx metric tons of pressure, hurting my hand in the process.

 

Loading the stapler was a lot of fun. You press a button on the back of the stapler, and then a compartment pops out for you to load your staples. With the first few attempts to load the stapler, the mechanism was sticky and got stuck, but a little jiggle and pressure got it free. I’m pretty sure it only got stuck because the stapler is new. Now that I’ve used it for a while and have loaded it a few times, it’s working great, loading seamlessly and effortlessly!

I was also sent Swingine S.F. 4 premium staples which says it’ll cause fewer jams, fewer misfeeds, and fewer failures. They’re engineered to improve the performance of any standard stapler and come with a 100% performance guarantee.  I’m no staple expert, and honestly did not know different staples can affect the performance of your stapler, but I’m all for a product that’ll make my life easier. I haven’t had any stapling failures with them, and other than the jams from the initial feeding, I’ve had no problems, and have absolutely no complaints! My favorite part about these staples is the box they come in, it’s a sturdy plastic box, that opens from the top, Hoooooray, no more crumbled cardboard box of staples at the back of my desk!

All in all, I’m a huge fan of Swingline’s TouchSmart stapler and the S.F. 4 Premium staples. This duo makes stapling so effortless. Anything that simplifies any task in my life is a HUGE PLUS! Even if you don’t do lots and lots of stapling, the Swingline TouchSmart is a great addition to your desk.

Happily stapling away,
