I have two staplers. A cheap one that fails without failure! Then I use this old one pretty much every time in the end. You would think one would learn!
It was really grubby so avoided using solely from that point of view. But it just keeps working.
I cleaned it up, so now it sits pride and place on the desk. So now I will use 50% less staples!
It's a 1950s version. The original is basically the same which is 1930s.
The front rotates down to remove jammed staples, but I have never had a jammed staple, unlike the cheap one, which were also difficult to remove.
It's other use is a lethal weapon!

It is often the case that the older more robust tools and equipment outlast and outperform the modern "throw-away" items.
