Swingline Optima 40 Stapler

Vendor packets go together at the kitchen table; this one does 40 sheets without a fight.

Why we like it

A dollar-store stapler quits at about ten sheets. This one takes 40 with a light press, holds a half strip of staples, and tells you when it is running low, which matters at eleven at night the day before a show.

Good to know

• Staples up to 40 sheets
• Reduced-effort mechanism
• Holds 105 staples with a low-staple indicator
• Compact metal mechanism in a soft-grip housing
• Quiet
