Swingline 747 Classic Full Strip Stapler, 30-Sheet Capacity, Lipstick Red

It's the best stapler!

This particular Swingline 747 stapler gets stuck into an unusable position every time you staple one thing. Then you have to pry the staple loading section (carriage? hammer?) away from the top (handle?) and then it will close to the normal, functional stapler status. This stapler is basically new. We just received it 2-3 weeks ago. I searched the internet for solutions but didn't find anything other than 2 unresolved posts about the same issue on r/staplers. I've used and fixed a lot of staplers in my life but this one is beyond me. Maybe we got a lemon. I'm really hoping our hospital's Supply Manager contacts Swingline about the Lifetime Guarantee because this particular stapler is a waste of tax dollars.

A true classic. Great stapler.

Very pretty. Works great.

They wanted a unique, highly visible stapler for Milton in the movie Office Space. At the time, Swingline did not make a red stapler. The special effects department used automotive candy apple red to make one. Shortly after the movie came out, Swingline responded to the HUGH demand and introduced the current style of 747 in red. They said they had never made a 747 in red. I thought that was funny, since I have one of the old style 747s in the same color of red from about 1968! Specification: ALL staplers SHALL BE Swingline! (Those Boston ones just don't work.)
