A stapler is one of those things that every house needs but will very rarely by one. This is because although they are used often they seem to last forever. I have had this stapler for at least 5 years. We bought it from WH Smith where we paid something like £3.99 for it, however of course this was some time ago so therefore the price is likely to have increased. However, looking on the website I can see that the exact stapler I have is being offered for the same price. In my opinion, £3.99 is very reasonable for a good quality stapler. Mine is different to that shown above, as is the version you can still buy today. It is a clear plastic so it ...  Read the complete review

I bought this stapler when my old one that I had for about 5 years eventually broke when I dropped it on the tiled floor in my kitchen and the hinge that kept the staple drawer inside the stapler broke. Of course this isn't what should happen to a stapler, but accidents happen and it was necessary to purchase a new one. I was very tempted to buy a cheaper one, thinking that it wouldn't matter if it didn't last very long given that I probably wouldn't use it very often, but I decided in the end that I would rather buy a better one that was larger and more substantial so that I wouldn't have to worry about how many sheets I was stapling at one time as it should ...  Read the complete review

I purchased the stapler from local WHSmith store for £9.99. Although they had cheaper staplers available I didn't want anything too cheap that would break after a few times of using it. The money was coming out of work expenses anyway so I wasn't personally buying it, but I would be the main person using it. The stapler comes in one colour which is black and comes in a clear plastic box. The stapler is made from strong plastic and metal and has WHSmith in white one side of the stapler. The stapler comes pre-loaded with staplers but I decided to purchase some more anyway as the staples were on offer at the time. When taking the stapler out of the box it was ...  Read the complete review

I am a neat freak when it comes to documents and paper work. I have a filing system for all of the paper work I have for things like bills and insurances. A stapler is an essential part of keeping certain pieces of paper with others, I have this stapler from WH Smith. I can't remember how much I paid for my stapler exactly as I've had it from about three years now but I think it was around the £3 mark. It is available to purchase from WH Smith stores or online from their website. The stapler I have is a little different from the picture. Mine is transparent with no colour, the only thing it has is the WH Smith brand name. I personally love the see ...  Read the complete review

I'm going to say that £9.99 for a stapler is really crazy. Now why would I go and do something crazy like spending my money like that? Year after year I walked around WHSmith stores in various branches around the UK and still couldn't find anything I wanted to spend my accumulated birthday gift vouchers on in their shops. Eventually, I decided to part with a ten pound voucher to make a small impact on spending my vouchers. For this reason alone, and a smidgen of insanity, I bought this stapler. There are many heavy duty staplers available in other places for as little as a couple of pounds. This WHSmith version ought to be the royal version of the stapler for a penny off  Read the complete review
