GM-X Automatic Electric Stapler
Rating: 4/5
Price at time of review: $46.99
If you need an electric stapler for your desk, this one is well worth a look. This stapler can either be run with 4 AA batteries (not included) or via the included AC adapter. It comes pre-loaded with a strip of standard staples. For a stapler that will go through 25 pieces of paper, it operates fairly quietly. Instead of using a sharp striking motion to drive the staple (which provides a loud THOK! when operating), this stapler quietly pushes the staple down through the paper. While this works slower, it still gets the job done within a couple of seconds. Another nice feature is the ability to adjust how far the staple is inserted from the edge of the page. A slider on the bottom of the paper slot allows you to move the trigger forward or back, which adjusts the stapling location.
There are a few things that I'm not that pleased about with this stapler. The glossy finish looks nice, but is a complete fingerprint magnet. Reloading the staples is easy (press a button on the back of the machine to eject the staple slot), but the slot slides out so far that I worry that it might break after a while. Finally, at $46.99, it's priced towards the higher end of comparable units. This one has a lot of reviews behind it, and seems to be a proven model. So far, it's worked quite well for me, and I'm pretty happy with it.
