Review: Taiwan did a better job than Sweden! Repesco beats Rapid Classic! - I bought this to replace my old Rapid Classic stapler that I bought a few years back. The Rapid was nice, lasted thouusands of staples but was now jamming a lot. I was going to buy another Rapid Classic but decided to try this Repesco. Was not sure where it was made (British company) and preferred to buy a Swedish product over one made in a less free nation with hit and miss quality control, but had no idea if Repesco was made in Britain or imported...turns out it is made in Taiwan, I'm cool with that. Years ago when I bought the Rapid Classic, the anvil plate fell off. I popped it and the spring back on and had to peen it properly. The magazine spring got weak and it started failing to push staples when it would run low. I had to keep trying to stretch the spring which sort of worked for a while. The action was a little rough too. I took a chance with the Repesco, and not only is the notched handle a little more comfortable, but the magazine spring is WAY better quality. The action is much smoother, requiring a little less effort, and nothing has fallen off yet. The fit and finish are better too. Needless to say, I was a little surprised, but pleasantly so. Glad I tried the Repesco this time. In all fairness, I did get a few or several years out of the Rapid. Will see how long the Repesco lasts. But the fit and finish of the Rapid was disappointing from day 1. Also, had I not found the pieces and been able to repair it, the Rapid would have been in a landfill after a few months. I think it is a good design gone bad. The Repesco works as it should.
Review: Great Heavy Duty Plier Stapler - This is a well made plier stapler for home and office use. I ordered the Rapesco 24/8 staples and it was able to easily staple through 30 pages of glossy advertisement flier. I folded it over and it still stapled through 60 pages easily. Staple protrusion on the back side of the 60 pages was enough to hold the 60 pages together but I'd say 60 pages is probably the absolute limit depending on the page thickness for the 8mm staples. This stapler easily staples through 50 pages of paper as advertised. The Rapesco staples used were 24/8 - 24 gauge wire with 8mm leg height. I ordered 24/6 staples as well but it hasn't arrived yet. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the staple wire. The staple leg height is 0.316" which is 8mm high. The staple crown width is 0.500". I measured the Rapesco staples against the Bostich Powercrown 6mm staples for gauge wire thickness comparison: * Rapesco (24/8) 24 gauge - wire thickness - 0.280" * Bostitch (26/6) 26 gauge - wire thickness - 0.210" Advantages of this Rapesco Plier Stapler: * Excellent construction * Smooth operation * High leverage for ease of use stapling through 60 pages * Rear loading of the staples magazine is easy and fast * Rear magazine loading allows for changing to different sizes (leg height) of staples easily * Crimp plate can rotate 180° to allow the staple legs to be folded inwards or outwards Highly recommended!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have 3 kinds of stadard staples Bostich, Swingline and Acco.. I might have another. None of the stapler fror one fit the others. What size for this?**
A: I use Stanley Bostitch Standard Staples, made in the USA. 5,000 premium quality staples. Product number 1-317BS . 110 staples per strip. An entire strip fits into the Rapesco. The fit is snug - no gap or wiggle room at all.

**Q: does this stapler use standard staples**
A: The Staple description tells it all. Several kinds. 5/16" work great for me.

**Q: Will this staple heavy duty 1/4 inch wide staples flat just like an office paper stapler?**
A: No it doesnt open up to staple against a wall.   But this is one of the best staplers I have ever purchased, Its really sturdy.

**Q: Please tell me what size staples fit in this. i bought it and went to ace to buy staples; none of the 1/4” or 5/16”  type ‘p’ or ‘t’ or anything.**
A: 5/16". I am actually using the Rapesco brand  26/8mm Staples (Part# S11880Z3). I think you can also use 26/6mm size. This is link of what I am currently using: https://www.amazon.com/Rapesco-Staples-26-Box-000/dp/B000NLZHK4 in my Rapesco Rapid Classic 1.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Invest in your sanity and buy a tool that works properly every single time!
*by O***M on November 14, 2015*

This is hands-down the best stapler I have ever used or owned. I've worked several jobs and owned numerous school staplers. Before this I would wrestle with my supposedly good quality name brand stapler that ate more staples than it ever punched through paper. I was working on making a large stack of handout packets and about lost my mind. Is it too much to ask that a stapler simply staple the paper properly every single time? We have sent a rover to Mars - how is it possible we have not perfected the common household stapler? In my frustration I jumped on Amazon, scoured the reviews and had this bad boy shipped to my house. (I love Prime 2 day shipping!) When this arrived I tested it out. It tackled the few handout pages easily, like it was stapling air. I folded a sheet of paper into fourths and rapid-fired staples as quickly as I could. It didn't jam. I stapled over existing staples. It didn't catch, snag or fail in any way. It just kept stapling like it should! FINALLY! I have found stapling bliss! (And my old stapler has gotten to know the local GoodWill). If you are a student, in college, just starting out, working in an office, have a home office or simply have hands and you're about ready to throw your malfunctioning stapler out into the street, make a small investment in your sanity and order this wonderful tool that will forever after properly attend to all of your stapling needs! Update March 2015: I've owned this stapler for almost a year and it is still working flawlessly. NEVER has it mis-stapled, hung up or caused me any problems. The only problem I do have is that I have to horde it like a psycho, hiding it from my friends who discover it provides the smoothest, most dreamy stapling they have ever experienced. I had to write my name on it HUGE in Sharpie and the thing is daily at risk of kidnapping. Yeah, it's just that good!
