It&#8217;s sturdy and has a very satisfying stapling action that, as promised by its &#8216;Anti-Jam&#8217; label, NEVER jams. It&#8217;ll easily staple through the advertised 20 sheets of paper, and I&#8217;ve pushed it further than that and it still refuses to jam up. <\/p>\n<p>In contrast, your average cheap stapler chews up staples for fun, and I can&#8217;t tell you the number of times I&#8217;ve witnessed a co-worker almost impale their hand while trying to pry out a mangled staple using a pair of office scissors&#8230; I&#8217;m on my second example of this stapler. &#8216;Second?&#8217; I hear you cry. &#8216;If it was that good, you&#8217;d still be on your first!&#8217; Fair point, but let me give it some context: my first B600 stapler was inherited from a colleague who left when I started a job at a family business 20 years ago. Over the years, it&#8217;s become known in the office that if you want my stapler, you&#8217;ll have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands. That first stapler (which was secondhand when I got it!) served me well for years and years, eventually becoming intermittent due to the plastic casing simply wearing away from sheer volume of use. Heartbroken at its loss, I jumped on the interweb to see if it was still available and it is &#8212; a testament to the great design that it&#8217;s still in production. Yes, it&#8217;s several times the cost of a cheap stapler, but it will last you many times longer and along the way it will help to cut down on annoyance and stress in your office &#8212; that&#8217;s got to be a good thing, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No-jam technology for smooth stapling<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32138"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32138"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32140,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32138\/revisions\/32140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
