Review: Swingline SmartTouch Stapler & Swingline Premium Chisel Point Staples

Grandma Bonnie's Closet has been given the opportunity to review some office supplies from Shoplet.com. Two of the products are a Swingline SmartTouch Stapler & Swingline Premium Chisel Point Staples. I was very excited to see the Swingline SmartTouch Stapler for the first time. The stapler is shaped ergonomically and comfortable to hold.  It has rubber grips on the top and bottom making it easy to hold while stapling many pages. The Swingline SmartTouch Stapler is made to be strong and jam-resistant while only requiring a light touch to staple. This stapler can handle up to 25 pages at a time with very little effort. 

What did I like most about the product?
I really liked how easy it was to load. There is a button at the back of the stapler. Press the button and pull out the tray at the front, load a line of staples in the tray and push the tray in. You are ready to go. With other traditional staplers I have always had a hard time loading staples from the top loaders. I get them loaded and squeeze the stapler shut and always get a jammed staple in the opening. With the Swingline SmartTouch Stapler I have not had a jamming problem. 

Along with the stapler I am reviewing the Swingline Premium Chisel Point Staples. The first thing I noticed different about the staples was the packaging they came in. They are package in a sturdy plastic container that is easy to open. The box contained 5,000 staples with 210 in each strip. When I removed a strip from the container they felt sturdy and did not fall apart while I was loading them. 

What did I like about this product?
I really like the reusable storage container the Swingline Premium Chisel Point Staples came in. The container is not a cardboard carton that will fall apart in your desk drawer after storing for weeks. Have you ever had to search around in your drawer for loose staples because the staple box fell apart? This container solves that problem! 
You can find these products and more like this at Shoplet.com.

Every time I see a swingline stapler I think of the movie Office Space.

"If-If They Take My-My Stapler, I'm Gonna-I'm Gonna Burn The Building Down"

;D

I need a stapler like this. Seems like every time I use mine it doesn't go through the paper.

Kayla said...

I could use a new stapler, and this looks absolutely fantastic! Love your review!

Garilyn S said...

I like that the staples come in a plastic box so that it doesn't fall apart. I also like that it is easy to staple.

sreis87 said...

I love that the stapler is jam resistant. I always hate when my stapler jams up and won't staple.

Holly S. said...

My pet peeve is bruising the heel of my hand when I try to staple a thick stack. Ouch! This one looks pretty good. Thanks for the review.

Dee W said...

Great review. I'm going to check out their website. I really need a stapler for home to keep things more organized.

Chelsey said...

Thanks for the review! I love that this stapler can handle 25 pages at once. And that's a unique way to load the staples, but it's great. Can't believe it wasn't thought of sooner.

Beth Babcock said...

Thanks for the review, Staplers hate me, I use paper clips now

Bessamy said...

Thanks for the review! Love that it can handle 25 pages at a time. Mine at work can barely handle 10.

Maggie Buerger said...

This review is very helpful. The reviewer covered all of the major features of the new stapler. It is especially important to me that I can staple together up to 25 pages at a time! Thanks.

Kay M said...

I love Swingline. They make the best staplers ever. They hardly ever jam.

April G said...

Thanks for the review. I like that the stapler doesn't jam, as that has to be my pet peeve when working with staples!

marybaker112 said...

It looks like it would be easier on the old arthritic hands!

A Happy Hippy Mom said...

Great review! Looks like a fantastic product!

Malia said...

that's something i don't have...a stapler! could actually use one!

Jennifer said...

Thanks for your review of the stapler :)

Abba said...

A stapler is one of those items not needed until something needs to be organized and in one piece to go to the boss.

Veronica H said...

I LOVE that it can staple so many papers together with ease. I absolutely hate when i staple too many and the stapler gets jammed

wendy darneal said...

great review

Robin Quick said...

I always have that problem of jammed staples too! This looks like a great stapler to try to fix that problem. I for one hate finding staples on the floor , especially on bare feet! ouch!!! Yep gotta try this stapler!

Janene said...

This is a nice one, I could really use one of these, thanks for the review.

m.c. said...

i would never use anything but a swingline.

kari jasus said...

this staple would be perfect in my classroom!

Ashley Stephen said...

I hate when my stapler jams and I glad this one doesn't

Teresha@Marlie and Me said...

I dislike topload staplers too! A backload stapler will always be my preference and it can handle 25 pages! ...impressive!

Kelly said...

Office Space!!

"If...if they take my...my Stapler, I'm gonna...I'm gonna burn the building down!"

Love that movie!!

ThePixieSprinkles said...

Thanks for the review! Jamming staplers are definitely annoying and a waste of time!

Thanks! =)

michele376 said...

With the stapler that I have it is difficult to staple numerous pages. I like that it will staple up to 25 pages.

Lindsay S said...

Thank you for the review! This look like a great stapler and so sleek!

Welcome to My World said...

The stapler review answered some of my concerns about a good stapler that doesnt jam and staples multiple pages at a time. Thx for posting the review.

ArleneWhit said...

I loved this review. I might snag me one of these puppies! Thanks!

Charlotte said...

I think we could really use that stapler at my house about now! Thanks for the great review.

kitnewies said...

That is one fancy looking stapler!

Emma said...

Great review! Glad to hear everyone didn't have the experiences of one other reviewer. :)

Susan M. Heim said...

I like that it's "jam-resistant." It's really frustrating when staplers jam!

Kari said...

I have this exact stapler and I love it!!

Minta's Creations said...

Thanks for the review!

Jessica B said...

These sound great - I wonder (hope) that they'll work in an electric stapler, which is what I use at work and which loves to get jammed up!

KKellams said...

Great review, I've always liked the Swingline brand staplers. I'm like a few of your readers puts me in the mind of office space.

RITA LIGHT said...

LOOKS LIKE LIKE A NEED TO GET ONE OF THESE! THANKS FOR THE REVIEW.

jenrenh said...

This stapler sounds like just what I need. I love that it can handle up to 25 pages at a time with very little effort and that it doesn't jam. Thank you for the great review!

Holly Marie said...

Laurie Harrison said...

Great review and I so agree with you about loading staplers. Why did they make them so difficult and clumsy? I have an older, gray, heavy, swingline and it's a pain. I'm sure they have improved their product in the last 20+ years ago. LOL
One thing about it, it doesn't break (or hasn't yet)

Tracy D said...

Great review. I should look into getting one, then I wouldn't have to go hunting for "my" stapler everytime my husband takes it. I'll just give him "my" old stapler and get a NEW one. Sounds good to me. :)

Bianca Roman said...

A storage container for the staples?!!! That is awesome!

Thanks for the review. I like the easy to grip padding on both sides and the ergonomic design.

wisedup1 said...

Thank you for the review. A stapler that works! Awesome!

jpe123 said...

The one good thing is, that even though technology has changed the way we do things, staplers have stayed the same, and are still very useful, whether at work, home, school, or just about anywhere.

slehan said...

It's good to see even basic items get updated and made easier.

Tracy said...

Oh my gosh, this stapler looks fantastic! It would definitely come in handy when sorting and stapling all my coupons!

This looks so comfortable!

Meagan :) said...

I haven't used a stapler in forever! And I always had the problem of the staple getting all stuck after I punched it down.

But here shortly I'm going to have to get some office supplies (starting back school) and a stapler will be on my list. I'm going to check this one out!

Thank you for the review!!

I used to work in an optometrist office with paper charts for patients. Swingline staplers were a must for stapling through patient records. We have some that went between the 1960s-2011!

StaceyRenee4 said...

Heather Crider said...

Erin C said...

Gonna have to get me a one of these staplers just so I can have the staples that are not in a cardboard box. I am still getting individual staples out of my file cabinet.

jabeck022 said...

I have been in need of a new and sturdy stapler since i have been using a dollar brand for so long and it always messes up the staples or can't go throw more than a few sheets of paper ...I wil have to give this one a try - thanks for the review!

Ms. Em said...

I wonder if they make it in red? :)

Shanoa said...

First off great review! I really love the looks of this stapler~ And I approve of the nice box! After its out of staples you can either fill it with more staples or use it for pens and such you like to keep by your desk, awesome ^^

Rebecca Parsons said...

Thanks for the review. Seems like a really great stapler. I have an old one that is a pain to load.

Mara80 said...

Great review. I like how you can staple so many pappers together and easy loading staples.

lucy24 said...

i love office supplies. cool stapler!

Kim said...

@SocialStudiesSoubrette but it's not red! lol Actually I thought of the same thing hahaha. I have used swingline staplers every since I was about 16 or so when I bought my first and last one, I still have it and I am 50 they simply are the best!

dv8 said...

I wonder if that model stapler comes in red.

daveshir2005 said...

The stapler would come in real handy at work because they make us use cheap ones that jam.

ZuZu said...

Thanks for the review. I need a good compact stapler.

mbreakfield said...

Sounds like a really good stapler thanks for the review
