If your goal is to discipline the staff, you should simply throw the stapler, a use for which you concede it is admirably suited. The 747 is not a staple gun, and a 30% hit rate should be seen as remarkable for a model not intended for that purpose. Your criticisms of it appear to reflect either simple user error or attempted uses of the 747 in ways for which it was not designed. That very model sits upon my desk even now and is without question the finest stapler ever designed for personal use. You have correctly selected the Swingline 747 as a "favorite" but do not adequately explain why you failed to give it the full 5 stars (assuming you apply a 5-star scale). But if your practice does not involve shooting staples at your colleagues or support staff, the Swingline should work just fine. I managed to hit them only 30 percent of the time, far less than the 78 percent accuracy rate we registered with the Stanley staple gun we tested last winter. To test the Swingline, ran across the room quickly while I tried to hit them with staples. The reviewers correctly praised the Swingline's general stapling ability, contemporary styling, and the aerodynamic qualities that make it so well-suited for throwing at staff but they criticized it for (1) a jam they experienced while attempting to staple their largest test stack and (2) the difficulty they had shooting staples out of it:įor shooting staples across the room, the Swingline really has limited utility and pales in comparison to more powerful staplers. ( Attention FTC: no compensation has been received in exchange for this post. I personally chose the 747 over the standard models the firm would otherwise have provided for free, because extensive and rigorous testing has shown it to be ideal for the many light-to-medium stapling tasks so common in law firms and other light-industrial facilities. Granted, they gave it 4.5 stars, but to me that just raises the question why they begrudged it that last half-star. which, as you can see here, is the model I use. I was appalled to see that the people at the normally very good site Big Legal Brain have posted a less-than-perfect review of the Swingline 747 stapler –
