Swingline S.F. 4 Premium Staples for Desktop Staplers, 1/4" Length, 210/Strip, 5000/Box (35450)

I picked up these **Swingline S.F. 4 Premium Staples** (the 35450 box) because my old stapler at home kept jamming with the cheap generic ones I’d been grabbing from the office supply aisle. I live in Florida and travel quite a bit for work, so I end up printing and stapling contracts, boarding passes, and expense reports on the go or right after getting back. I wanted something reliable that wouldn’t leave me cursing at a bent staple in the middle of packing. I expected a solid, no-drama staple that would go through a decent stack of papers without issues—nothing fancy, just consistent performance so I wouldn’t have to stop and fix the stapler every few uses. Overall, it mostly met those expectations. The chisel point really does help it pierce cleanly. I’ve stapled 15-20 sheets of regular printer paper without it buckling or misfiring, which is handy when I’m bundling travel itineraries or receipts. The strips feed smoothly into my desktop stapler, and I’ve had way fewer jams compared to the store-brand stuff. One box of 5000 lasts me a long time since I’m not stapling massive reports every day. Pros: - Noticeably fewer jams than cheaper alternatives - Strong enough for everyday multi-page stacks - Fits standard full-strip desktop staplers perfectly Value for money is decent. It costs a little more than the bargain bins, but the reduced frustration and broken staplers make it worth it for me. I’m not replacing equipment as often, and the box lasts ages for home/office use. In real life, I use them for clipping together printed flight confirmations before trips, stapling invoices for my taxes, and quick paperwork at my desk. Nothing heavy-duty, but for typical adulting tasks, they get the job done quietly. I wouldn’t call them life-changing, but they’re a reliable upgrade from the junk that causes constant headaches. If your stapler sees regular but not insane use, these are a safe bet.

These are exactly what you expect from standard staples. They are consistent, reliable, and work without any issues in a regular stapler. I have used a lot of different staples over time, and these just get the job done every time without jamming or misfiring. The quality feels solid and dependable for everyday use. Nothing flashy, just a reliable staple that works. I would keep buying these without hesitation.

Swingline has always been the top choice for staples in my opinion. I once tried a bargain brand & the frustration of breaking and jamming staples made me regret that choice. Swingline staples are worth every penny. A box lasts a long time for me for use at home.

Great product, special size which I had no idea there was.

It does what its supposed to do and do it well. Perfect size to fit the stapler. Easy to use. Not much to complain about.

I've gotten decidedly cheap staples before, and actually threw them out because they would only reliably staple a single sheet of paper. This limited their usefulness to that of kindergarten art projects. Since I graduated from kindergarten several years ago, I couldn't see keeping them around, despite the pretty colors that came in the package. I've also gotten normal quality staples. They are what you expect. They work. Most of the time. My wife...we shall say...acquired a box of heavy duty staples staples. <=NOT A TYPO. I couldn't figure out why trying to staple a few sheets of paper together (better than the colorful ones from the evil blue box store could do), the staples stuck out so much...they were 3/8" long...almost as big as the ones for the T-59 staple gun in the garage (which, contrary to the naming convention, is not a suitable tool for stapling sheets of paper together. Nor is it considered a firearm, as the name would suggest, even by the state of New Jersey, lacking such determination, can not be sold on a gun broker website. Trijicon sights are, however available. The TSA's determination of its status as a firearm is a little bit different...suffice it to say: I won't be flying anywhere anytime soon.) So, that brings me to the matter at hand. Ouch. They will go into your hand. And stick into bone. On the plus side, they're nice and sharp, so they didn't tear any skin, and they didn't deform, so they were easy to grab onto with some pliers to remove. But seriously, I am writing a review of staples. I didn't think that they could be that much better than your plain vanilla staples (that reminds me of another amazing purchase on Amazon, a 16oz bottle of McCormick's pure vanilla extract for less than $8...the 1oz bottle at the grocery store goes for almost $7...if you're looking for another Amazon add-on item to make it to the magical $25 limit...). Now where was I? Ah, yes. staples. These are awesome. I actually fired up my web browser, logged my wife out of Amazon, and myself in, just to review these things after filing my taxes, and obviously using them for their intended purpose. I imagine they will work swimmingly on other things that I use staples on, like the seamstress work I can't bring myself to do. I'll update at a later date with the results of washing machine testing, as, inexplicably, the material type, grade, heat treatment, passivization, and surface treatment for these staples are not listed. As such, I don't know if they'll eventually rust, or if they are suitable for use as a structural attachment point for the micronized copper azole ledger board for my back deck. Yeah, that's right, they probably aren't long enough to go through the entire 2x, so I'll just use them on the joist hangers. These staples actually make me feel as though I didn't waste $25 on this super strong stapler that my wife acquired from work a few years back. Oh, wait, I didn't waste $25. Anyway, it actually staples through thick stacks of paper with these staples now. Oh, and the picture is wrong. My staples didn't come in a cardboard hang-tab box. They were actually in a very nice blue (my favorite color) plastic cast with a clear hinged lid.

Somehow became a bit of a staple snob. But, truly, the staples used DO make a difference. I use these in the top of the line desk job, and even those little plastic portable nearly toys, and everything in between. Better staples yield better results - all around. They're barely more than plain vanilla brand, but so much better punching through paper and saving you from having to pull them out and do it all over. Worth the price.

GOOD PRODUCT.

Great product nicely packed in clear plastic case.

Misure corrette, ma forse troppo sottili. Ne vengono sparati più di uno al colpo con la conseguenza che ogni tanto si inceppa. Speravo meglio.

Die Heftklammern funktionieren perfekt mit meinem vintage swingline stapler!

was the right staples for the classic plier stapler that I bought.

No hay defectos, son de calidad y me gustó su cajita
