5.0 out of 5 starsSwingline… the Rolls Royce of Staplers! A classic that lasts forever!

Swingline Staplers to me, are the Rolls Royce of staplers, classic, last forever, and represent quality. I have had one Swingline for over 25 years, and I am a teacher, so when I say that these last, they last. My tried and true Swingline has been my trusty friend during report card season, ever reliable for sending out daily fliers and monthly newsletters, parent notes, bulletin boards and my old girl workhorse still keeps working like the day I first bought it. I have tried other stapler brands over the years, but nothing performs quite as well as my trusty Swingline Stapler. The arm still swings freely, makes perfect staples every time, and are easy to remove from bulletin boards, just as it did out of the package 25 years ago, and compared to others I have tried.
Swinglines rarely jam, which is why I swear by these. I saw this one, and was of course drawn to it because of my experience with this brand, but also my tried and true Swingline probably weighs about the actual weight of a Rolls Royce, it is so solid. This one is perfect for those times you want the performance and quality of a Swingline without the added weight. It also has a nice easy-grip painted texture, which is helpful when you are stapling a lot (and yes, helps so you don’t drop it compared to smoother textured staplers) and weighs much less than my trusty one, which is nice especially when putting together new bulletin boards (because usually my old girl is pretty heavy after awhile, as much as I love her).
You can easily staple up to 20 sheets at a time. (My old girl staples 25 or even more, but it is rare that I ever need to staple that many pages, so this one works for today’s “minimalistic paper” world. ) This one actually has a low stapler indicator…now that is something that my old stapler did not have, and the feature I now love, and knew I never needed.
This one is perfect for your typical teacher or office applications, so very happy with this Swingline. This compact stapler performs as powerfully as the my trusty tried and true Swingline, but is so much lighter. I am confident it will last just as long because it seems to be constructed with the same high quality material my vintage stapler is made from. Love it, and you will too!

This little Swingline Cub Compact Stapler may look like it just rolled out of a minimalist Scandinavian office dream in Arctic White, but make no mistake—it’s got serious stapling power.
Don’t let the size fool you. It’s compact, yes, but it punches through 20 sheets like it’s settling a personal grudge (depending on your punch-power). Clean, precise, no jamming nonsense. It’s basically the office version of “I may be small, but I am very tired of your disorganized paper pile.”
It’s got some real weight for its size, so it doesn’t skitter across the desk like those flimsy plastic ones that need to be held down like a toddler on a sugar bender. Plus, it looks sleek and modern—like if a spaceship and a paperweight had a very efficient baby.
Final verdict? Five crisply stapled stars. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Great for small desks, tidy brains, and anyone who enjoys the deeply satisfying ka-chunk of a job well fastened.

This Cub stapler has the quality you’d expect from Swingline and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. For a compact stapler measuring only 5.25” long, it has good weight to it, fits nicely in your hand, and has not jammed on me thus far. It holds a half-strip of SF 3 staples. Oddly enough, zero staples are included with the item so you will need to acquire some before you can use this product. Also, the base of the stapler is not non-skid so it does move around a bit during use depending on the surface you set it on.
